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

If there’s anything I care about most when it comes to beauty, it would be maintaining a volumed + blown out bouffant. But on work mornings where I’m in a huge rush and barely have time to look in the mirror post workout, I came up with a ‘do I literally “bobby up” in the

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

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

TGIF, my friends! I cannot tell you how excited I am for the weekend…oh, hello! Between working on a new real estate project, cocktail-ing it at summer meet-ups + soirées, and putting the finishing touches on B+H’s ever lovely facelift {less than a month until the new launch…woohoo!}, I am ecstatic to put away the

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

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

When my best chica proposed the idea of coming over to my place {aka Casa Blanca}, inviting our NYC tribe and becoming dough boys for the evening, my immediate response was “girl…A. flour mess and B. busy real estate job? Umm…let’s go out for dinner instead and ditch the Windex fest?” But when I heard

Oh Friday, it’s about time my friend! After a glam-filled week of classic bubbles, downtown concerts to even a Brooklyn potluck, this workin’ girl is one tired seniorita! Which is why I couldn’t be more thrilled to have a weekend filled of low-key evenings, organizational errands and my personal favorite, pampering. Hola. And as much

There is absolutely nothing worse than getting a bad {not to mention stinky} tan. Wooh! And the worst part is the majority of us have all been there. Let’s just say: I’m fine! But with the summer sunshine blowing on in into the city, it’s finally time to shed our winter layers {& albino look…}

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
