The sun certainly plays a role in the design of this space as it illuminates the island - the center piece of the room. I could imagine spending a Sunday morning, sitting on one of those stools, reading the newspaper while sipping coffee and being warmed by its rays.\r\n\r\nThe subway tile on the island stays a classic choice compared to the graphic, almost nautical themed navy and blue floor tiles. The pattern really grounds and anchors the eye and the chrome finish of the hardware and fixtures adds interesting layers to the overall look.\r\n\r\nGhost chairs in the breakfast nook are a pretty great idea to complete the weightless feel of this kitchen. The patterns, materials, and colours make this smaller room look eclectic, but pulled-together, modern, but still organic. Definitely a kitchen worth the envy in my eyes!\r\n\r\n-<a href=\"http://www.holleygill.com/blog/\">Michelle</a>','Guest Post: Kitchen Envy by Holley & Gill','','publish','open','open','','guest-post-kitchen-envy-with-holley-gill','','','2011-07-02 05:46:03','2011-07-02 09:46:03','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=5273',0,'post','',0),(5211,1,'2011-06-24 11:24:01','2011-06-24 15:24:01','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">lotion image via <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4049851&cm_vc=200/\">bbw / fruit pizza via <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">cooking channel</a></a></span></p>\r\n\r\nBath and Body Works { <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/\">BBW</a> } is one of those stores that I sadly often forget to go into and when I do it\'s like I\'m discovering it for the first time. A cacophony of scents pervade this place but don\'t be mistaken for thinking that quality is scrimped in any way. Having personally seen the creation of BBW products from concept to market product, I have always been impressed with the attention to olfactive profile, quality of materials and harmony of packaging design that goes into their goods. You can be very well assured that the product you buy from them is olfactively developed by perfumers who create some of the most popular signature fragrances in the perfume market. \r\n\r\nWhich leads me to my choice for food to fragrance this week...\r\n\r\n<strong>The Fragrance:</strong> <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4049851&cm_vc=200\">Bath & Body Works, Twilight Woods lotion</a>. I specify lotion because fragrances in each different application { perfume, shower gel, lotion, cream, body spray  etc} are quite often a slightly different profile in order for it to retain the character of the EDT fragrance in an alternate application. Lotion bases { as in the actual cream } are thicker than a perfume { obviously - ha! } and always psychologically for me often make the fragrance itself feel creamier. \r\n\r\nTwilight woods contains notes of Juicy Berry, Creamy Frangipani, Soft Mimosa, Vanilla Milk and Warm Woods amongst others. For me there is a very definite vanilla-y, creamy warmth to the fragrance, but the juicy berry note also surprisingly pops through. It doesn\'t smell very fruity berry but more has the round succulence of say a ripe juice filled blueberry. As for when to wear it, this is a day to day scent - not an evening/special occasion fragrance but, that being said the warmth of the woods adds a close, personal, sexy note to the fragrance making it a little special for the day to day. But shouldn\'t every day have a little ring of special to it?\r\n\r\n<strong>The Food:</strong> <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">Sugar Cookie Crust fruit pizza</a>. Who doesn\'t love \'za? { Me and Pizza are long time friends, hence I call it by it\'s pet-name: \'Za}. However, I have never met a fruit pizza before. This berry, cheese, brown sugar medley of goodness is the handiwork of <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">Kelsey Nixon</a> and during this soon to be smokin\' hot summer, looks like the perfect sweet treat after a nice light outdoor meal. \r\n\r\n<strong>Why it works:</strong> There are a few clear translations in this food and fragrance pairing, the Juicy Berry top note in the lotion and the raspberry, strawberry and blueberry topping on the pizza. The Vanilla Milk in the scent and the vanilla extract in the creamy pizza spread, but that\'s not all. The fragrance starts of juicy and fruity { Juicy Berry }, descends into creamy warmth { Creamy Frangipani } and closes with warm robustness { Vanilla Milk and Woods }. Similarly this pizza has a soft berry medley on top, descends into the tangible warmth of a cream cheese vanilla spread and is grounded by a brown sugar induced crust - solid and reliable yet warm and sweet - like the reassurance of warm woods on a cool day.','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','publish','open','open','','food-to-fragrance-bbw-twilight-woods-vs-fruit-pizza','','','2011-06-24 11:25:32','2011-06-24 15:25:32','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=5211',0,'post','',0),(5212,1,'2011-06-24 00:35:34','2011-06-24 04:35:34','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','inherit','open','open','','5211-revision','','','2011-06-24 00:35:34','2011-06-24 04:35:34','',5211,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/06/5211-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(5213,1,'2011-06-24 00:35:41','2011-06-24 04:35:41','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','inherit','open','open','','5211-revision-2','','','2011-06-24 00:35:41','2011-06-24 04:35:41','',5211,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/06/5211-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(5214,1,'2011-06-24 00:37:46','2011-06-24 04:37:46','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">lotion image via <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4049851&cm_vc=200/\">bbw / fruit pizza via cooking channel</a></span></p>','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','inherit','open','open','','5211-revision-3','','','2011-06-24 00:37:46','2011-06-24 04:37:46','',5211,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/06/5211-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(5215,1,'2011-06-24 00:38:01','2011-06-24 04:38:01','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">lotion image via <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4049851&cm_vc=200/\">bbw / fruit pizza via <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">cooking channel</a></a></span></p>','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','inherit','open','open','','5211-revision-4','','','2011-06-24 00:38:01','2011-06-24 04:38:01','',5211,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/06/5211-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(5216,1,'2011-06-24 11:10:21','2011-06-24 15:10:21','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/GoodenoughtoEat/F2F/F2F_BBWTwilightWoods.jpg\" alt=\"bbw twilight woods vs fruit pizza\" width=450></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">lotion image via <a href=\"http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4049851&cm_vc=200/\">bbw / fruit pizza via <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">cooking channel</a></a></span></p>\n\nBath and Body Works { BBW }is one of those stores that I sadly often forget to go into and when I do it\'s like I\'m discovering it for the first time.

It doesn\'t smell very fruity berry but more has the round succulence of say a ripe juice filled blueberry. As for when to wear it, this is a day to day scent - not an evening/special occasion fragrance but, that being said the warmth of the woods adds a close, personal, sexy note to the fragrance making it a little special for the day to day. But shouldn\'t every day have a little ring of special to it?\r\n\r\n<strong>The Food:</strong> <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">Sugar Cookie Crust fruit pizza</a>. Who doesn\'t love \'za? { Me and Pizza are long time friends, hence I call it by it\'s pet-name: \'Za}. However, I have never met a fruit pizza before. This berry, cheese, brown sugar medley of goodness is the handiwork of <a href=\"http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/kelsey-nixon/sugar-cookie-crust-fruit-pizza-recipe/index.html\">Kelsey Nixon</a> and during this soon to be smokin\' hot summer, looks like the perfect sweet treat after a nice light outdoor meal. \r\n\r\n<strong>Why it works:</strong> There are a few clear translations in this food and fragrance pairing, the Juicy Berry top note in the lotion and the raspberry, strawberry and blueberry topping on the pizza. The Vanilla Milk in the scent and the vanilla extract in the creamy pizza spread, but that\'s not all. The fragrance starts of juicy and fruity { Juicy Berry }, descends into creamy warmth { Creamy Frangipani } and closes with warm robustness { Vanilla Milk and Woods }. Similarly this pizza has a soft berry medley on top, descends into the tangible warmth of a cream cheese vanilla spread and is grounded by a brown sugar induced crust - solid and reliable yet warm and sweet - like the reassurance of warm woods on a cool day.','Food to Fragrance: BBW Twilight Woods vs. Fruit Pizza','','inherit','open','open','','5211-revision-10','','','2011-06-24 11:25:02','2011-06-24 15:25:02','',5211,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/06/5211-revision-10/',0,'revision','',0),(5224,1,'2011-06-24 15:27:28','2011-06-24 19:27:28','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"349\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/M2OXc97e4UI?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/M2OXc97e4UI?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"349\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">video via <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/Swirl360Music#p/u/1/M2OXc97e4UI\">youtube</a></span></p>\r\n\r\nI love candy and I love the sun.

Lights, camera, bon appétit!\r\n\r\nThe Night We Never Met (1993)\r\n\r\nWarren Leight’s 1990s romantic comedy is neither particularly well known nor well loved; however, it is a film that I watched over and over as an impressionable young girl. Some may argue that I was drawn to the predictable and somewhat cheesy romance, but – in fact – it was the discussion of cheese in a scene set in Dean and Deluca that pushed my buttons. You have to love a film that has both literal and\r\nmetaphoric cheese.\r\n\r\nPulp Fiction (1994)\r\n\r\nRoyal with cheese. Le Big Mac. $5 shakes. While other viewers were getting their fix of stylised violence, heroin overdoses and nostalgic tunes, I was salivating over the food. The diner scene is among one of my favourites in recent film history. Uma Thurman knows the right way to have a burger: bloody.\r\n\r\nIn the Mood for Love (2000)\r\n\r\nFood, in its various guises, is a repeated feature in the cinema of Wong Kar-wai; however, in In the Mood for Love it takes on a sensuous significance in which dining and commensality are bound up with unspoken desire and longing. Subtly denoting a shared language of romance, the central relationship of the film is played out against a backdrop of outdoor noodle stands, intimate restaurants and old-\r\nfashioned recipes.\r\n\r\nMarie Antoinette (2006)\r\n\r\nMarie Antoinette may have said “Let them eat cake”, but in Sofia Coppola’s pastel-punk biopic the macaron takes centre stage. In one of the film’s most striking musical montages, which is set to Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy”, dreamy Ladurée confections are juxtaposed to intricately designed fashion pieces in an orgy of colour and excess. Overindulgence as a means to combat ennui has never looked so delicious.\r\n\r\nSoul Kitchen (2009)\r\n\r\nForget Soul Food (1997), I want to dine at Soul Kitchen. Fatih Akin’s most recent film is, for me, a shocking omission from lists that have been compiled by food cinephiles. From the psycho chef, played brilliantly by Birol Ünel, who catapults a knife into the dining table of a customer after he requests that his gazpacho be warmed, to the hilarious use of cassia bark as an aphrodisiac, to the uplifting soul\r\nsoundtrack, Soul Kitchen is an absolute standout.\r\n\r\nFeel free to share your favourite food moments in film.','Guest Post: The Edible Silver Screen by Danica of Oh Hello There','','inherit','open','open','','5323-revision-4','','','2011-07-01 16:51:42','2011-07-01 20:51:42','',5323,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/07/5323-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(5328,1,'2011-07-01 16:51:42','2011-07-01 20:51:42','There are a plethora of articles and books dedicated to the subject of food in cinema that fetishise acts of cooking and food consumption in films such Babette’s Feast (1987), Eat Drink Man Woman (1994),\r\nLike Water for Chocolate (1992) and Tampopo (1986).

I\'ve known Matt for nearly ten years and we\'ve never met. True story! Matt is currently living in Japan where he is shooting some of the most thoughtful and honest photography I\'ve ever seen him make. Check his <a href=\"http://work.mattb.tv/\">blog</a> regularly for insight into Japanese daily life, packaging design, landscapes and of course food</em>.\r\n\r\nHello, this is Matt reporting in from Kagoshima, the southern most prefecture of mainland Japan.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/mapfull.jpg\" alt=\"map full\" width=\"475\" height=\"292\" /></p>\r\nI want to introduce you to a very simple dish enjoyed by commuters on their ferry ride across the bay which divides the two peninsulas, Satsuma and Osumi. Living on the Osumi side, one of the quickest routes into Kagoshima City is by ferry from Tarumizu port.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/tarumizu_ferry.jpg\" alt=\"ferry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" /></p>\r\nOn the Tarumizu Ferry, you\'ll hear an announcement on departure calling people from the car deck to come upstairs and eat at the Udon Corner. As the ride across the bay lasts around 40 minutes, this is often the perfect time for weary commuters to catch a quick meal on the way to or from work.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/map.jpg\" alt=\"map\" width=\"475\" height=\"247\" /></p>\r\nNow, by this point you are likely expecting a picture of the aforementioned Udon. Instead, I\'ve decided to let you in on a little secret: the best dish at the Udon Corner is actually Soba, or buckwheat noodle soup. And not just plain soba, no, this my friends is Curry Soba.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/curry_soba.jpg\" alt=\"curry soba\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" /></p>\r\nA simple stock, soba noodles, a mild curry soup, and bits of radish grown on Kagoshima\'s iconic and very active volcano, Sakurajima. Which, by no coincidence, you can enjoy a spectacular view of while you eat.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/sakurajima.jpg\" alt=\"sakurajima\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" /></p>\r\nAt ¥560, it is fairly expensive as far as these things go, but I\'d argue you are also paying for the view.\r\n\r\nSo, that\'s it for the dish, but I wanted to add a bit of detail to the interesting, local ingredient: Sakurajima Daikon (radish). { <em>CM\'s note: I first learned of and lived on Daikon when I first took a stab at Veganism!</em> }\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/daikon.jpg\" alt=\"daikon\" width=\"475\" height=\"477\" /></p>\r\nGrown in the volcanic soils of Sakurajima, this is touted as the world\'s largest radish, growing well beyond basketball proportions and weighing as much as the average 5 year-old.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/sakurajima_daikon.jpg\" alt=\"sakurajima daikon\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" /></p>\r\nThis fellow clocked in 17.2 kg (~38 lbs).

Now remove the fruit from the heat, and line the pudding basin with the slices of bread, overlapping them and sealing well by pressing the edges together. Fill in any gaps with small pieces of bread, so that no juice can get through when you add the fruit.\r\n\r\nPour the fruit and juice in (except for about two thirds of a cupful), then cover the pudding with another slice of bread.

The sun certainly plays a role in the design of this space as it illuminates the island - the center piece of the room. I could imagine spending a Sunday morning, sitting on one of those stools, reading the newspaper while sipping coffee and being warmed by its rays.\r\n\r\nThe subway tile on the island stays a classic choice compared to the graphic, almost nautical themed navy and blue floor tiles. The pattern really grounds and anchors the eye and the chrome finish of the hardware and fixtures adds interesting layers to the overall look.\r\n\r\nGhost chairs in the breakfast nook are a pretty great idea to complete the weightless feel of this kitchen. The patterns, materials, and colours make this smaller room look eclectic, but pulled-together, modern, but still organic. Definitely a kitchen worth the envy in my eyes!\r\n\r\n-<a href=\"http://www.holleygill.com/blog/\">Michelle</a>','Guest Post: Kitchen Envy with Holley & Gill','','inherit','open','open','','5273-revision-10','','','2011-07-01 03:39:11','2011-07-01 07:39:11','',5273,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/07/5273-revision-10/',0,'revision','',0),(5369,1,'2011-07-02 03:11:26','2011-07-02 07:11:26','<em>Please welcome <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.com/2010/06/guest-post-rockaway-taco/\">back</a> Sherry of <a href=\"http://www.porkandchocolate.blogspot.com/\">Pork &amp; Chocolate</a>!

It’s the essence of summer and it’s rich sugary juice has consigned many a pair of white linen trousers to the back of the closet.\r\n\r\n<strong>There are 3 very important rules when it comes to Summer Pudding:\r\n</strong>\r\n1. You must ALWAYS make it the day before. That bad boy needs to soak and soak and soak. And then soak some more.\r\n\r\n2. It MUST be served with a huge jug of double cream. It needs to be swimming in the stuff.  Swimming.\r\n\r\n3. When you think all the fun is over, you’re wrong! Take all that extra juice (there’s always loads) and make jelly (jell-o to those of a US persuasion) . Just heat up that juice with enough gelatin to set the volume of liquid you have, and pour into individual molds or glasses, then pop in the fridge to set.  Serve with more double cream. It’s lip-smacking good!!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/CD_Craven1.jpg\" alt=\"summer pudding\" width=\"475\" height=\"548\" /></p>\r\n<strong>Summer Pudding</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>{ recipe courtesy of the quintessential British cook, Delia Smith}\r\n</em>\r\n8 oz (225 g) redcurrants\r\n\r\n4 oz (110 g) blackcurrants\r\n\r\n1 lb (450 g) raspberries\r\n\r\n5 oz (150 g) caster sugar\r\n\r\n7-8 medium slices white bread from a large loaf (preferably stale)\r\n\r\nYou will also need a 1½ pint (850 ml) pudding basin, lightly buttered.\r\n\r\nSeparate the redcurrants and blackcurrants from their stalks by holding the tip of each stalk firmly between finger and thumb and sliding it between the prongs of a fork pushing the fork downwards, so pulling off the berries as it goes. Rinse all the fruits, picking out any raspberries that look at all musty.\r\n\r\nPlace the fruits with the sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes, only until the sugar has dissolved and the juices begin to run – don\'t overcook and so spoil the fresh flavour. Now remove the fruit from the heat, and line the pudding basin with the slices of bread, overlapping them and sealing well by pressing the edges together. Fill in any gaps with small pieces of bread, so that no juice can get through when you add the fruit.\r\n\r\nPour the fruit and juice in (except for about two thirds of a cupful), then cover the pudding with another slice of bread. Then place a small plate or saucer (one that will fit exactly inside the rim of the bowl) on top, and on top of that place a 3 lb or 4 lb (1.3 kg or 1.8 kg) weight, and leave in the fridge overnight.\r\n\r\nJust before serving the pudding, turn it out on to a large serving dish and spoon the reserved juice all over, to soak any bits of bread that still look white. Serve cut into wedges, with a jug of thick cream on the table.\r\n\r\nAnd with a dessert that richly coloured, the only proper thing to is to pay homage with some berry coloured threads...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/guestposts/Jul2011/CD_Craven2.jpg\" alt=\"summer tea outfit\" width=\"475\" height=\"700\" /></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\r\n<a href=\"http://www.modcloth.com/Vintage+Clothes/-Vintage-Made-for-Memories-Dress\">Red Dress</a> / <a href=\"http://www.mytheresa.com/us_en/bambou-140-suede-platform-peep-toes.html?siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-.jzDE58yjKXsrkoEi0IpHg&amp;quid=61058463421S1091658T&amp;gkid=acx&amp;utm_source=Affilate&amp;utm_medium=INT&amp;utm_campaign=2\">Shoes</a> / <a href=\"http://www.charmandchain.com/products/amethyst-square-drop-earrings\">Earrings</a> / <a href=\"http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-classic-q-little-ukita-convertible-crossbody-bag/3114869?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=marc_by_marc_jacobs_%27classic_q_-_little_ukita%27_convertible_crossbody_bag:313321&amp;cm_pla=bags:women:handbag&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;siteId=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-yq7mnvQhnGzyOP4ZIDETEQ\">Bag</a> / <a href=\"http://www.betseyjohnson.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11449917\">Bracelet</a>\r\n</span></p>\r\n- <em>Thanks <a href=\"http://www.coquetteanddove.co.uk/\">Kate</a>!</em>','Guest Post: Summer Pudding with Coquette & Dove','','inherit','open','open','','5317-revision-17','','','2011-07-02 02:59:45','2011-07-02 06:59:45','',5317,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/07/5317-revision-17/',0,'revision','',0),(5372,1,'2011-06-30 01:43:39','2011-06-30 05:43:39','    I am in the midst of a wedding planning frenzy.
