On June 24th, New York’s Flatiron district welcomed a new friend into the ‘hood called Beecher’s Handmade Cheese. Walking home after a morning stop at Union Square Greenmarket to buy fresh fruit, I stumbled into this cheese shop and was immediately overwhelmed by not only the unique aroma of fresh cheese, but the detailed information [...]

Girl’s Spa Night

Friday, June 24, 2011
When there is torrential weather outside, the last thing any girl wants to do is get her hair wet.

Amazing Brussels Sprouts at Westville

Do you go to a restaurant where you feel right at home and get a delicious meal? For me, that spot would be Westville in Chelsea.

A Bubbly Polo Classic

Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Mimosas? Check. Buttered croissants and bagels? Check. Preppy attire? Check! By the looks of it, an outsider would have thought the pre-party at my apartment was for Nashville’s popular Steeplechase event held each Spring. Not this morning.

Save Your Skin

Monday, May 30, 2011
It’s no secret on how to maintain your fabulous young-looking skin. It’s called sunscreen. But honestly, that sticky lotion that has a stench far worse than baby wipes can get a bit old…and who wants to mess up their beautiful makeup after having gross sunscreen as their base?
