Alice in eosLand

Just when I thought I was going to be “late, late for a very important date” I fell into a magical wonderland surrounded by eos! I had no idea what the eos team was going to be announcing after they invited me and a handful of bloggers for an afternoon tea party on Gramercy Park [...]

Since 1837, the house of Hermès in Paris has been providing its brand loyal consumers with top of the line {not to mention handmade!} products that will last a lifetime. Known for their signature harnesses, saddlebags, scarves and iconic purses, this company has gone over and beyond to pass down precise techniques and craftsmanship to six [...]

Living. Laughing. Loving.

Light those grills on up, lather on that last dollop of sunscreen and {my personal favorite!} bring out all of your summer whites…for one last weekend! It’s time to kick off this holiday right! Always inspired by the fabulous Marilyn, I fell in love with these beach shots of her in East Hampton {not only [...]

A Modern Floral Milieu

Known for creating impeccable floral arrangements with a modern twist, Ovando is a popular go-to floral designer for everyone from fashion designers to hostesses of the chic parties in NYC. When I opened my door yesterday to find a fabulous fuchsia orchid masterpiece in the hands of an Ovanda representative, I just about fell over in my [...]

A Regally Royal Birthday Suit

Birthdays come but once a year…so why not face it with all your flamboyant might and some fabulous Leo cheer? Tracey Emin: “Running Naked” When I opened up Vogue’s September issue, one photo immediately jumped out. Tracey Emin’s “Running Naked” captures what birthdays are all about…being footloose & fancy free, laughing & loving, and letting [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: Breathe In Central Park!

One of my favorite ways to take a true break from the city {besides weekend excursions!} is to head over to Central Park…and just breathe! Surrounded by all things divine and green, Central Park isn’t just a great place to get a fab workout, it’s a place to explore and take in some history of [...]

Steamin’ Up A Clam Bake

With it being almost time to say “toodle-loo!” to sweet summertime, I couldn’t help but look back and reminisce about my favorite moments under the sun! Outside concerts in Central Park? Loved it! Party times in the Hamptons? So fab! But what was my favorite memory of all this summer? That would be attending my [...]

Kick Off Heels. Dance Like Nobody’s Watching!

As I’m kicking off my big girl heels and gliding into my birthday month with grace, there’s one crucial question that’s holding me back from turning {yet again!} one year older. What oh what birthday invitation do I choose? Girlie chic? Modern Monroe? Thank goodness I attended the National Stationary Show back in May to [...]

Konnichiwa Queen

I’ve always had a huge interest in learning how to make the raw but oh so delicious dish we call sushi. But, every opportunity to take a class {whether on Gilt City, etc} never worked out with the strict times and high prices! So, yours truly marched right on over to her favorite sushi chef [...]

Don’t Forget That Powdered Sugar Now…

Buttery, rich and velvety chocolate has my name written all over it. So when I spotted this decadent-looking brownie recipe in a cookbook stirred up in Thomas Keller’s fabulous Ad Hoc restaurant, I knew it just had to be made! Was it the melted butter hugging the cocoa and chopped chocolate into a long kiss? [...]

Pointer Twang 101

If I had never visited Blackberry Farm and shot their amazing Beretta guns, I would have never met my great friend, Andrew Campbell. As you know through previous posts {click here to read!}, once I returned to NYC from this spectacular place in the Smokey Mountains, I marched right on up to the Beretta store’s [...]

Cookin’ Up A Culinary Salon

After salivating, craving and going gaga over everything Boston-based Dan Whalen creates on his blog, The Food In My Beard, I decided to contact him and ask when he would be visiting NYC so we could officially cook together! Spontaneous as can be, I thought…Why not? Our friendship grew after his first visit a few months [...]
