Let’s face it. There’s nothing easy about love…or brewing your own love potions at home! So instead of taking my “troubles down to Madame Rue,” I took my happy self down to a spot where I first fell in love…Park Bar in Union Square! With Valentine’s Day approaching, I couldn’t think of a better place

Not having to deal with finding the dress, fighting zits and a coconut butt feels amazing. But what about the “you’re never fully dressed without fabulous hair” motto I live by? There was no way I could leave this post out…it’s all about the hair y’all! One hairstyle can literally change your entire look. I

Growing up, my mom inspired me to appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, and through her guidance I fell in love with the perfect brushstrokes of master calligrapher, Bernard Maisner. I was thrilled when I recently heard he would be on the 7th floor {my favorite floor!} in Bergdorfs showcasing his retail line of exquisite hand painted

Before getting super holly jolly for an upcoming holiday party my roommate and I were hosting, I decided to figure out the core essentials we would need in order to put the “toe” into our guests’ “mistle.” I started with the first ingredient that people would see when they approached our apartment: the wreath. I

Alright readers, I’ve decided to take my creativity up a notch this holiday season with my gift giving. How? I’m going to make my own gift tags and greeting cards for my friends and family. With what? Starting with one word: a stamp. Oh, yes… Since I love to be inspired by other creative people,

Dustin isn’t the only one showing his talent in the Hoffman house this year. His wife, Lisa Hoffman, has taken her incredibly innovative beauty line to the next level by introducing Fragrance Jewelry. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to go in and see (I mean, smell!)

It’s officially Gobble Gobble time everyone! Today is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and I’m so thankful for everyone in my life. Including my favorite SoulCycle instructor, MB Regan. MB is such an inspiring person {and so are her killer biceps!} to train with daily, and she consistently clears my head in

I’m thankful for many things in my life, but there is one that sticks out the most to me this year: my friends. When you live in a large city away from your family, it is your friends you depend on, get advice from, and know that they always have your back. My friends up

Between printing off the next day’s itinerary every night before I hit the hay or color coding all of my to do lists, I would say that this girl is efficiently organized. But, I’m always looking for new chic {with a touch of Jackie O.!} ways to take my organizational skills to the next level.

There is one thing that this girl can never get enough of…that would be any type of ice cream, gelato, or even sorbets for that matter! I have had pints from my favorite gelato makers, Ciao Bella, in the past via Whole Foods, but when I stumbled upon this delicious company’s spot in Grand Central

For me, creativity really sparks {especially in the kitchen} when I am inspired by someone that I admire. I am continuously trying to learn as much as I can about cooking from the cream of the crop chefs, and take their creativity into the dishes I make. Whether I’m visiting their restaurants, reading their cookbooks,
