Because I've been
all about the cookies lately, I went on a search for the cutest cookie cutter shapes I could find. While cookie cutters aren't always a requirement, there's nothing like a unique shape to add some originality to your baked creation. From
sugar cookies to
ice cream sandwiches to
madeleines, here are my favorite cookie cutters and molds.

Whenever I seek a break from sipping
everyday wines, I turn to
sake. The Japanese beverage has a completely different flavor, but is equally refined and extensive in selection.
My favorite way to serve sake is with a coordinating set.

In case you don't already
own cheese serving tools, I went shopping for stylish cheese serving trays and found a fabulous selection. They run the gamut from ornate and over-the-top to sleek and minimalist. My favorite is this marble tray with silver bamboo hardware ($78); it's got the perfect amount of flair and will look excellent displaying everything from a pungent blue to a sharp cheddar.

I don't know whether it's the sweltering heat or being cooped up inside on a sunny day, but when it's Summer, it seems all I want to do is kick back and relax in the sun, frosty cocktail in hand. My solution? Plotting out the
margarita I'm going to make when it's five o'clock and I'm shopping for festive glassware that could be used to serve my beverage.

I recently asked one of our amazing
interns to check out
ShopStyle Living, where she noticed loads of kitchen accessories with faces on them. Since it seems like we can never
get enough whimsy, I asked her to put together a list of all the ones she thought were fun. From bar tools to trash cans, she found some amazingly cute products.
