After the Alt conference received its final applauses for a fantastic week, I decided to take advantage of being so close {30 min driving to be exact!} to Park City. I mean, Sundance was going on there…who would want to miss that? via my Twitter: @elizabethobaker…follow me! Folded up clothes. Zipped up bags. It was

Being the one who loves to explore everything that surrounds me, I made it a point {even if I was delirious from sitting in a no-windowed room all day!} to get out of the hotel at night and see what Salt Lake City had to offer. Since it was my first time here, I really

Attracted to people who “dot” their “i’s” and cross their “t’s”, this girl was so excited to step into Alt conference’s world of perfection and high attention to detail. It was like a dream had come true, especially after all of my favorite Paper Presentation visits back in NYC, that there were other people my

After hopping on a flight out to Salt Lake City for the Alt Design Summit conference, I honesty had no idea what to expect. Computer geeks? Divas? Down right nerds?

Plopped right next to the Delancey Street subway stop, Essex Street Market appears to be nothing more than

Who doesn’t love to go and get pampered? Get laid up on a heated bed {it’s like you’re in a coffin to be quite honest!}, get a deep exfoliation treatment, your nails did, or my personal favorite…a blowout! Blackberry Farm houses one of the most relaxing spas I’ve ever stepped into…and yes, it’s literally a

Sipping our last drops of bourbon at 2AM. Finishing up intriguing conversations with people we met earlier that day. And finally cuddling into my fluffy feather bed anticipating what was in store for the next morning, I knew this trip to Blackberry Farm would be like no other. Meeting new people, unleashing new passions and

It’s that time of year. Cramming for exams. Finishing up last minute work before the holidays. Trying to find the perfect holiday gifts for your friends and family. Or my personal favorite? Trying to catch your train at Grand Central! It’s all stressful…which is ironic since it’s one of the most beautiful times of the

Growing up, my mom inspired me to appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, and through her guidance I fell in love with the perfect brushstrokes of master calligrapher, Bernard Maisner. I was thrilled when I recently heard he would be on the 7th floor {my favorite floor!} in Bergdorfs showcasing his retail line of exquisite hand painted

On the Upper East Side, Elio’s {Elio Guaitolini} has been satisfying their loyal customers of this “clubhouse” for decades. This dark wood {and handsome!} Italian restaurant serves to any type of crowd {all the way from a lonely man sitting with his newspaper to Martha Stewart with her large crew} and is known for their
