What seasonal piece would you wear all winter? 

I would wear the Thora Boot all winter long - its shearling lining is perfect for the cold Minnesotan winters and the low heel makes it a great shoe to wear all day long. I love pieces that you can easily dress up or dress down and the stylish but understated design of this boot works great for that.

Which accessory would be the perfect outfit addition? 

I've really been wanting to try this palette from MAKE. A swipe of dramatic eye color is the accessory I've been missing from my wardrobe!

Each season Suzanne Rae’s collections inspire us at Idun and her AW17 collection is no different. Her designs are filled with surprises, like her V-Back Dress that incorporates a body suit underneath or her SS16 blouse with, “I am not your seductress” cleverly sewn near the hem. These surprises are not of the “shock art” variety but rather much more subtle and secure. Suzanne Rae’s collections have depth. In our culture today, where everything is quick and easy, and the easy way out is “shock” we appreciate Suzanne Rae’s thought-through and creative details. She pushes the boundaries but not in a way that is “pushing boundaries for pushing boundaries sake”. It’s clear she has a goal and a complete thought behind each piece she designs. Her recent collection includes a recycled cashmere sweater with a crest that contains the words, “Liberté, Égalité, and Feminist”. These small details make us feel special. When we put her designs on we feel as though we have a secret something we can share or keep to ourselves for our own delight.

Tahini Toast — A good toast for one or a crowd. These beautiful toasts are simple but satisfying. The Tahini is enhanced with miso and brown butter, and sprinkled with a few edible flowers—mostly for show, although they can add a subtle flavor, too. Serve this with tea in the afternoon for a cheerful boost. Serves 2.

2 slices cherry buckwheat bread

1 tablespoon olive oil 

2 table spoons salted butter

1/4 cup (60 ml) Black or White Tahini

1 teaspoon fresh or dried edible flower petals 

Cyprus flake salt 

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Brush both slices of the bread with the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven, flipping once halfway through, until they are golden and crisp on the outside, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. 

In a small sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter begins to smell nutty and turns a rich, golden brown. Remove from the heat immediately and pour into a small bowl. 

To assemble the toast, spread the tahini evenly over both slices. Drizzle with brown butter and sprinkle the petals and flakey salt.
