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 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

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,

I remember those countless mornings waking up to the smell of my mom’s delicious baking. Especially around the holidays, there was one distinct smell that I remember the most: her sour cream coffee cake. My mom acquired this yummy recipe from a good friend, Clark, back in her college years and it still wows our

I’m thankful for many things in my life, but there is one that sticks out the most to me this year: my friends. When you live in a large city away from your family, it is your friends you depend on, get advice from, and know that they always have your back. My friends up

Alright y’all, if you’re anything like me it’s that time of the year where immediately after you “gobble til you wobble” this week, you’ll start panicking on Friday that you only have a few weeks to buy and wrap up perfect gifts for those you love! My typical shopping spree has always been while I’m

I rarely post anything on the weekend, but I couldn’t help but share this delectable place I dove into yesterday. The 14th Annual New York Chocolate Show in Chelsea {on 18th between 6th and 7th}! And guess what? It’s here until this Sunday, so scootchie tootsie on over! Francois Pralus {owner and chef of Pralus}.

For years, I’ve always looked forward to October not just because it’s one of the prettiest months in New York, but because of Halloween being right around the corner. Cocktail parties, costume planning, and the well anticipated…carving pumpkins! But, this year I was curious to do something a little bit different. Instead of getting messy

I love anything sweet, and I absolutely love anything simply elegant. When you combine the two…Well, all this girl would have to say is “qui, qui!” On a recent trip to Vermont, I found this oh so divine restaurant called Starry Night Cafe in a quaint town called Ferrisburgh {near Middlebury!}. Although the food is always

Between picking out the freakiest costume or which goblets to serve at your party, it is never too early to prepare for one of my favorite holidays: Halloween. Down at Chelsea Market {in the Meatpacking District}, they make it incredibly easy for you to shop early and get the best treats! My favorites? 1. Fat

As we say goodnight to summer sunshine, slurping smoothies and flaunting string bikinis, we have to keep ourselves surrounded by something sweet. What says sweet better, especially in October, than fresh crisp apples? Between the apple picking trips I’ve got on the calendar with my girlfriends this month or seeing on FreshDirect that Honeycrisp apples
