It’s that time of year. Cramming for exams. Finishing up last minute work before the holidays. Trying to find the perfect holiday gifts for your friends and family. Or my personal favorite? Trying to catch your train at Grand Central! It’s all stressful…which is ironic since it’s one of the most beautiful times of the

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

Alright, I hardly ever post on weekends, but I couldn’t wait to tell y’all what I buzzed into this Friday… When I approached this Old School, a converted space in Nolita between Prince and Mott, I honestly had no clue what to expect after seeing these cool red arrows and signs pointing to its front

When I heard that Alex Giocondi, a fellow SU Whitman School of Management graduate, and Chef Joseph Miller were teaming to open up a new restaurant in NYC’s Chelsea ‘hood, I was so eager to see what they had created! Entrepreneurship has been brewing very well out of Syracuse University recently {Dream Water ring any bells?}.

When I was asked out on a date to grab hot chocolate and look at the lights in Midtown this week, my first question to myself was “what do I wear?” Well, since we have been having cold weather recently I went with the direction of being warm…and comfortable! After seeing too many orange Joe

Who wouldn’t love to travel over to Greece and relax on their beautiful islands? Just to mingle with the locals, buy some of their Evil Eye jewelry pieces, and my personal favorite: devour their amazingly fresh and delicious dishes. But to make the trip over to Greece from Manhattan multiple times a year just to

Alright, there’s no denying it…Bikini waxes hurt like no other {side note for all of you boys out there, this wax can include ripping off everything…bald eagle status}. But, I have found a route around this horrible procedure. At Bliss, of course. Thank goodness a little over a year ago I found my go-to-girl, Zena.

Before you cross over the Williamsburg Bridge and lean right around the corner to approach the well-known Peter Luger restaurant, I highly suggest to not eat a thing at least three hours before. Unfortunately, I made that mistake by lunching on a white truffled sausage uptown a few hours prior. I also made a boo

For the next two weeks, Christie’s is giving you a key to open the door into one of the most fascinating lives in American history. This would be a woman who stopped people on the streets from her timeless beauty, who became the Queen of Hollywood and who also happened to have the most fabulous

Now that all of the turkey leftovers have been pitched, it’s about that time to get out your jolly jolly and spread some holiday cheer! Go grab a tree, ornaments or other greenery to make your apartment look extra snazzy! My favorite place to pick up the holiday goods is between 18th and 19h on

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,

Finding a concealer? That’s a given for me…I always know that Trish McEvoy, Chantecaille or Giorgio Aramni can always save me from looking half dead. But when it comes to finding the right lipstick color? Well, other than knowing how to properly plump my lips, that’s another story for this girl. Edward Bess When I
