Crêpe Cake.


One of my all time favorite bakeries in New York is Lady M Cake Bakery on the Upper East Side.  Home to the famous "Mille Crêpe Cake" if I am within five blocks I am bound to stop in and pick up a slice.  Yesterday I had a little free time, and was dying to make a good dessert for a friend of mine who stopped by but I didn't have time to run to the store to get ingredients.  This turned out to be a perfect easy solution. I substituted simple vanilla infused whipped cream for the pastry cream and although my cake did not turn out looking as perfect as theirs do, it was the perfect compliment to great conversation and iced tea with a good friend.

Beach Bag Essentials.

Panama Hat, Aviators, Beach Towel, Rosewater Spray, Lip Balm, Sunscreen

Here are my absolute favorite items to carry in my beach bag.  These are the no frills added basics that I need to get to the beach, and honestly you need nothing more.  After a solid two weeks of spending every night in front of the TV taking in every last bit of the London games, a friend of mine who competed in the games bought the towel for me (it's now on sale) and I adore it.  Here's hoping you all get to spend as much time taking in the lovely (albeit hot) August sun!

July in Photos.

Dionis Beach in Nantucket. 
I apologize from my lengthy respite from the wonderful world of blogging.  July literally flew by and I am just now regaining some semblance of myself.  After finishing up my (grueling) internship on Friday I have assumed a beautiful routine that revolves around me tanning, running, sleeping, and reading and I realized only today that it's been an eternity since I have opened my laptop.  Although late in coming, here are my favorite photos from instagram (I added a bonus one because July was so fantastically hectic), and I do hope you follow me at kcorbin14.
