Brunchin’ Hola Style

Buttermilk pancakes with scrambled cheese eggs and a side of sausage? Yep, that’s my idea of a traditional kind of brunch! But when I heard that my new favorite Spanish haunt, Tertulia, had reinvented the way New York does brunch a la “tapas style”, I decided to hola on over! And this ain’t no yolk, [...]

Depreciated Yet Appreciated

I always have the best time when my parents come to visit! Why? Catching up {sans iChat!}, dining out at fun restaurants, catching a broadway show {fyi…run don’t walk to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Death of a Salesman} and of course, shopping ’bout town! But when my momma suggested we go check out this [...]

A Sugary Soirée Of Comfort

Founded by Jean Neuhaus in 1857, Neuhaus chocolates are still created in Vlezenbeek, Belgium [...]

Hats to Snaps

We all know and look up to Bill Cunningham to be the fashion god behind the camera. The one who appreciates all women who have style {no matter what the size!} and the one who immediately finds beauty in a fashion piece that the regular fashionista may overlook. Bill Cunningham’s taste is impeccable, which is [...]

Already working but want to be firmer? Toner? That’s exactly what triggered the idea for the team behind BMR Beauty. They’ve created the coolest of the cool and newest of the new products to perk up our bods for bikini season…and I’m obsessed! BMR Arm Lift BMR Bottom Lift I was recently asked to attend [...]

Let’s Get Real…Panini Style!

Call me crazy…but I’ve always thought that the correct way to make a panini was to get some bread, throw on a weird combination of cheeses, veggies and possibly a meat into the mix, put it into a presser and smash it all together. And voila! There’s your panini. Oh boy, was I mistaken! While [...]

Simplicity Behind The City

Pushing your pedal 100 mph each week? Barely taking time to rest on the weekends with bunches of birthday parties and the upbeat night scene that’s offered in the city? It’s easy to get caught up in this fast paced lifestyle! But every once in awhile, it’s important to take a moment for yourself. So [...]

Who doesn’t love pizza? It’s perfect to serve your guests, enjoy over a large group dinner out or to make with your cutie at home on a Sunday night. But there’s one kid on the block that has taken that enjoyment to the next level…without leaving you trying to fit into your clothes! It’s called [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: Keep Calm and Spritz On

Been brand loyal to Miss Dior Cherie for years? That would be me!

Luckily, while walking down Crosby Street, this girl walked into the swankiest store [...]

“Lips” At First Sight

The flowers are bloomin’. The sun is shining. The heat is rising. But there’s one more thing to add onto my list of why life is so good right now! Blue Mercury, my beauty go-to store in NYC, has added another location in Manhattan {peace out traveling all the way to the UES for products!}. [...]

A Swede Fix

While recently strolling through the streets of Greenwich Village, I unexpectedly came across an amazing neighborhood gem. If their unique name, Sockerbit, isn’t intriguing enough for you to come in off Christopher Street, maybe their Scandinavian smågodis {“little candies”} housed inside will! All white with a crisp clean-cut look, Sockerbit {which means “sugar cube”} makes their [...]
