“If it doesn’t come from the South, it’s not coming through the door,” says James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock. Brock, who recently opened Husk in May, has instantly made this place the hardest restaurant to get into in Nashville, Tn. After being a huge hit in Charleston, Husk Nashville is its sister restaurant and

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

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

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

Alright, call me old school {or just a knowledgeable Downtown Abbey addict…}, but I totally enjoy the simple things in life. From actually reading a newspaper en route to work {sorry iPad} to writing meaningful thank you notes {although, I still love you Paperless Post} to loved ones – the list goes on and on!

Whether I’m cooking up a storm for a low-key dinner party or just brewing up some munchies for a cozy Sunday night in {like I did this past weekend!}, there’s always one recipe I know my guests, friends, brother…even boyfriend will go absolutely bananas over. I know, I know, Penne A La Vodka is so

Anddddd, it’s Monday! But just because the hustle & bustle of the work week has started doesn’t mean we can’t all chill out at night…in a reasonably priced fashion, of course! My all-time favorite dessert that’s not only romantic, but cheap? That would be cookin’ up good ‘ole fashioned s’mores. Hola. Whether you’ve got a

It’s the end of February and I think we all know what that means…the Academy Awards are finally here! Whether you’re hosting or attending an Oscar party this weekend, why not showcase your favorite nominee in a glamorously-munchie way? Hola. Les Miserables: french pear martini. classic and oh, so fraaaanch. Lincoln: dixie caviar. only god

Ohhhh, the weekend is finally here! But between soirées, ABT classes {totally doing this tomorrow…!} and catching up with old friends late over the good stuff, there is absolutely nothing more divine than to wake up, be lazy {flaunting this crisp robe, of course!} and have breakfast in bed. But since we are all most
