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 [...]

Simply Recover With Simply PB

Burning over 800 calories in Barry’s Bootcamp? You better bet I’m going to want {plus my body needs!} protein right after…pronto! But if you’re anything like me, fueling up on more calories than burned post workout so ain’t my thing. That’s why I’m totally obsessed with a smoothie called Simply PB. Hola! Housed inside Barry’s [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: 2012 Governors Ball NYC Music Festival

Put back that satin cocktail dress into your closet! The Governors Ball this weekend is not a black tie affair {like I had thought!} where you have to dress to the nines and look finer than divine via Fekkai’s blowouts. It’s one of the hottest music events taking place at Randall’s Island Park between NYC [...]

Timelessly Chic

socialite & lilly pulitzer executive, donald leas and his wife in palm beach, florida 1968 I’ve always looked up to Lilly Pulitzer as a person and as a brand growing up. The vibrant colors, the detailed dresses and the eclectic patterns always caught my eye…not to mention the perfect staples to wear all around down [...]

Bonjour + Hola to Merci + Gracias

Being a girl who loves the feel, the look, the detail and the clever creativity of all things paper, it was a dream to be surrounded by some of the best paper folk at The National Stationary Show in May! Swooning over the elegant invitations, swirly holiday cards or the fabulous 2013 calendars, I was [...]

See & Be Seen At The NoMad

The hip and oh so up & coming  historic NoMad neighborhood {North of Madison Square Park} is bordered by the Flatiron District, Chelsea and Gramercy Park, so it’s only fitting that the coolest most swankiest hotel would open right in the heart of it all. Everyone, say bonjour + hola to my newest spot to [...]

One Step Closer with the JDRF

me + my brother! {courtesy of Simon James Photography} After seeing what my brother has had to go through living with Type 1 Diabetes, I’ve always tried to do everything and more to help find a cure for this disease. For him to not have to check his blood sugar 5 times a day, take 5 [...]

Leave it to Course Horse!

Ever feel the urge to learn something new in the city, but have no clue as to who to contact or where to go? I mean, there are so many opportunities here! It would take forever to create your own list from each company, their classes and the total costs. So when I came across [...]

Fabulous & Influential

The National Stationary Show was my kind of glorious heaven this weekend! Being surrounded by all things paper, detail oriented people and getting a sneak peek as to what will be coming out soon in stores, I was smiling from ear to ear! But, there was one memorable highlight of toodlin’ around the Javits Center. [...]

Smile. Bite. Smile.

I love it when readers give me suggestions about cool places we should go check out for future B+H posts! So when I received an email with raving reviews about a sweet shop in Chelsea called Stick&Pop, you better bet I pranced right on over! Hola. Stick&Pop owners: Christy Nyberg & Jacki Caponigro From the [...]

Tales of Veggies

Looking through old B+H posts, I realized I’ve never written about my absolute favorite place to go plop up on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a spot that’s bursting with unexpected flavors. It’s a spot that provides lovable food…veggie style, of course! It’s a spot that obviously includes both Eataly {my mothership!} and Eat-ing…at the ultra [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: Sir Kensington’s Homemade

Everyone knows that down South we always cover everything in ketchup…from meatloaf all the way to hash browns and fried shrimp! Honestly, I even prefer to dip my steak into some ketchup as well…hola! My flavaa has always been Heinz, but during a trip ’round Eataly last week, I came across a new kind of [...]
