If you ever want to meet up with this girl, simply say the word “froyo” and I will 99.9% always be available. Why? It’s totally guilt-free fabulous. And although I have my usual go-to’s in the city {shout out to the yummy 16 Handles!}, there is a new West Village spot that is taking froyo

I’ve always been a total vino senorita…I love the full-bodied reds, the crisp whites, the summer rosés…you name it! So when my good friend, Jameson McFadden, was telling me about how his family owns a winery in Mendocino County, California {home to the famed Russian River Valley}, I mentioned it would be totally fun for

When we approached this next chocolatier, I was immediately drawn to the relaxed, yet stylish atmosphere presented on their front porch filled with tables + classic faces. Conditorei Schober is one of the oldest cafes in town situated in the ‘sweet corner’ and when you walk in their front doors you see why it’s still

The next chocolate shop we stumbled upon was that of Aeschbach Chocolatier. Now, if you grew up in the States this probably isn’t a company you received in your holiday baskets, but for many Swiss-born natives, this is the place to get your brew. Oh, how I couldn’t wait to enter the gates of this

After being delectably spoiled by Truffe’s yummy cocoa, we continued on our chocolate excursion about Zurich en route to the second pick: Honold Tea Room. Conveniently located next to our hip hotel called the Widder Hotel, Honold is not only a welcoming place to pop into for chocolate at any point during the day, but

The moment I heard my family would be ending our Switzerland trip with a weekend in Zurich, I immediately started googling, stalking Suisse lifestyle blogs and searched for potentially anything I could find on what were the top five chocolate shops to pop into while visiting. Well…I could barely find a thing! Obviously, this gave

Hiking the Swiss Alps during the day and lounging in pure luxury bliss at night became my instant routine last week on vacation with my family! But on one of the afternoons where I completed the daily 8 mile hike early, I decided to lounge by the pool and totally craved something icy-sweet. So when

Rising on this foggy Monday morning was hard enough! But adding the rainy drizzle into the mix? Um…I’m fine! Between my toesies getting soaked to my bouffant losing its volume in the humidity, there’s only one thing that can make this girl’s Monday that much better…one word says it all: chocolate. Now, I’m not talking

With April showers soon turning into a sunny bloom, there’s all the more reason to raise our glasses to fabulous {and finally warm!} weather…champagne, anyone? But the last thing any host wants to flaunt shaggy flutes. So when I was visiting Nashville recently for the most fabulous wedding, I saw these blissful trinkets at Corzine

Everyone has that one spot near their flat they pretty much consider their second home…you know, the place to go just relax and sip wine, the place to bring friends for a catch up or just the place to bring a book and enjoy a long {and leisurely!} weekend afternoon. My neighborhood fave? That would

There are many things I remember from college…the ‘Cuse dome, fraternity parties…the orange list goes on and on! But, there’s one place in Syracuse, NY that I will always hold dear to my heart: Pastabilities. It wasn’t just the go-to place because we all wanted to show our parents or friends a delicious {and all

Growing up, my mother was always the one who taught me how to do all girly things correctly! From showing me how to correctly tie a bow to improving my Southern manners, charm and cooking skills on a daily basis, she is literally the “bees knees” in my book. But there’s one area this woman
