At recent W Magazine party during fashion week, I noticed the majority of the attendees were not only all about the over-sized Baked by Melissa gumball machine in the room, but were raving about how delicious these little bagel balls filled with cream cheese were…And yes, I’m talking about the models to designers to editors [...]

The Hip Way To Drink While You Think

Astor Wines & Spirits? That’s a go-to for any savvy winemaker to wine drinkers galore! But above the vine of this deluxe spirits mothership, there’s a place I’ve loved to go eat + drink + think for years. Hola! Located above its Lafayette Street shop, Astor Center is a state-of-the-art culinary facility that attracts all [...]

The Little Black Dress Of The Kitchen

After hearing the oohs and aahs coming from coworkers biting into these new mini munchies of heaven in NYC, it was a must I followed the trend and tried my first {and current favorite!} cookie. Hola! And although I was a tad health conscious about what I was inhaling, I was reassured that even if [...]

Maine-Ing About: Farm To Table Plates

Although the views were stunning, the lobsters were incredibly fresh, and the hikes were out of this world, my ultimate favorite part about visiting the coast of Maine was diving into their farm to table restaurants at night. The two I’m obsessed with? That would be Primo and Fore Street. Both restaurants are maintained by [...]

Maine-Ing About: Lobster Living

So how could we go to Maine and not have lobster…and tons of it?

The three most delicious lobsters and lobster rolls we inhaled over the weekend were those we had en [...]

Since I’m usually the head player in the kitchen, I was totally excited when a friend in a group uptown we like to call the “UES tribe” offered to make the whole crew homemade pasta on Monday night. Hola! But obviously I wasn’t just going to sit around and not enjoy the true gems being [...]

Husk: Housing True Tastes Of The South

“If it doesn’t come from the South, it’s not coming through the door,” says James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock.

After being a huge hit in Charleston, Husk Nashville is its sister restaurant and [...]

Sugarfina: A Sweet Tooth Heaven

There’s always something to celebrate. Whether it’s a new job, new casa, new baby…you name it! But honestly, with a ton of exciting life events coming up, there’s only so many times I can send flowers + a chic card {boredom to the max much?} Hola. Luckily, I recently went to a dinner where my [...]

Stamping Up A Merci + Gracias

After being overwhelmed with Birthday love yesterday, it’s a total must I get going on all of my merci + gracias notes…asap! But this Southern chica can’t just send out those generic little thank you cards showing my mucho appreciation to the ones I love. So I pranced right on over to my mothership, Paper [...]

A Bubbles + Burgers Birthday

When I was brainstorming various ideas of how to celebrate the big 2-6, I decided it would be totally fun + different to host my friends in Central Park for a sunset picnic. Hola! But as the date grew closer and the weather.com reports appeared to not be in my favor, I decided last minute [...]

TREAT HOUSE

If your kids {imagine if you don’t have any yet!} were ever struck with the challenge to raise $50 for charity, what would you suggest for them to do? A lanyard sale at school? A spontaneous Tooth Fairy donation {hehe}? Well, when the Russell family was faced with this task they decided a good old [...]
