Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with all the blessings of family and treasured friends. For me, it also included an amazing unexpected dose of relaxation. Living the insanely busy, hustle bustle, on-the-go lifestyle of New York City can easily lead to lack of sleep and stress, so I jumped at the

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.

One of my all time favorite things to do is discovering up and coming bands. Maybe it’s from previously dating a rising music agent, who introduced me to array of different music acts and venues. Or maybe it’s just from growing up in Nashville, TN. But, I just love it all…The excitement of finding a

Until recently, I had always thought that guys had it easy when it comes to fashion. I figured that all they had to do was button up a collared shirt, throw on some slacks, and top it off with a clean belt. Boy, was I mistaken! On a shopping excursion with my friend last week,
