A Gift From The Sweet South

At the end of the day, there’s nothing better to satisfy any craving than a good ‘ole slice of caramel cake. Hola! But contrary to what one may believe, many people outside of the south have either never heard had a piece of an actual piece of Southern caramel cake or even heard it. Which [...]

Brewin’ Up The Bread This Season

One of my favorite batches to brew up on any day is beer bread. No question! It’s incredibly easy and not to mention simple with just using actual beer in the process. Remember “Boyfriend’s Beer Bread“? Hola! But if you’re wanting to send beer bread to a loved one across the country, it’s probably not [...]

Crafted Into A True Southern Story

square leather coasters {with unique brands} Although waking up at 545am on a Saturday morning to go shooting sounds right up my alley, I opted to sleep in a little this past Thanksgiving weekend and get my vinyasa on. Hola! But when my dad and brother returned from a day of shooting down all that [...]

Jammin’ Biscuits This Holiday

Since this week is all about Southern holiday gift ideas, there is no way I would even think about leaving off a true Nashville favorite: Loveless Cafe. If you’ve ever done research on Nashville before a trip down there, visited Music City in the past, or just asked friends who knew a bit about the [...]

Friendsgiving…Casa Blanca Style!

Out of all the things I’m thankful for, which I could honestly write a month of posts about, I’m so blessed and lucky to have such a close group of friends in this whirlwind of a city. Between friends I’ve known since I was two years old to new friends I met just a few [...]

Holiday Spirit Built Into One Casa

Oh hello, holiday season! It’s so nice to see you again, hunny. But before I get carried away with party planning, traveling, ice skating in Rockefeller Plaza with hot chocolate, and dancing around my room while trying on various scarves to wear with the perfect puff jacket, there is one place I absolutely must see [...]

The Bee’s Knees In The Freezing Breeze

Brrr…it’s cold in here. But, oh hunny, there’s more than just a freezing breeze in this atmosphere! Obviously, it’s a must we all lather up the right way this season. And rather than putting on your generic lotion or Vaseline, how about we gracefully smooth on what the dermatologists suggest this season? Hola. Small enough [...]

The Style + Grace Of An RSVP

RSVP’s. We’ve all been there. Attending, not attending, coordinating…somehow if your name is involved, you’re involved! But what’s the common courtesy of how and when to reply to your host? Oh, dear ones, it’s a must we carry on the fabulous etiquette tradition. So for this Mannerly Monday, I turned to Emily Post’s tips on [...]

A Spicy Kick To Nix The Cold Bit

With the cold air brewing on in, the last drink I want to be sippin’ post work is one that makes me feel, well, even colder! But, after getting to know David, a fabulous bartender over at ABC Kitchen, I totally found my new go-to {not to mention healthy!} cocktail to sip right on through [...]

It’s a total “Oh My” Experience at Neue Galerie

Being a fan of all things Upper East Side, historical, and artistic, Neue Galerie was an instant fit for this señorita. But when I heard their newest exhibit was featuring Kandinsky, it was a must to go there immediately. Why? Oh, hunny. From the moment I saw Vasily Kandinsky featured in one of my all-time [...]

Tie The Knot With Ron Ben-Israel Cakes

Some brides splurge on their dress. Some brides splurge on their venue. Others, splurge on their cake! And I’m all over that sugary detail. Hola. And even though I am not even nearly close to having the wedding bells chime, I was ecstatic when Ron of Ron Ben-Israel Cakes invited me into his Soho bakery, [...]
