When there is torrential weather outside, the last thing any girl wants to do is get her hair wet. The thought of actually taking the time to straighten my hair, put on makeup, and pick a cute outfit out to then walk outside in the rain where my hair will immediately resemble the orphan “Annie”

Mimosas? Check. Buttered croissants and bagels? Check. Preppy attire? Check! By the looks of it, an outsider would have thought the pre-party at my apartment was for Nashville’s popular Steeplechase event held each Spring. Not this morning. Instead we were preparing for New York’s fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Govenor’s Island. Southern style!

Dinner dates are always just fabulous. But every once in awhile it’s nice to experience something new and exciting together. Recently, my good friend, Matt, asked me to go out to Citi Field and see a New York Mets game with him. I had never been to that stadium before, and was beyond thrilled! This

Dining in the top restaurants of New York such as Daniel or Morimoto is an exceptional experience. Multiple courses arrive at your place setting. The eclectic flavors magically compliment each other, and fine wines are softly poured into your crystal clean wine glass. Impeccable service harmonious with generosity, happiness, and steady hands. I never thought it could

According to Merriam-Webster, a doughnut is “a small usually ring-shaped cake fried in fat.” Well, I hate to break it to them, but that definition does not give that fine product justice. Growing up, I always knew following the lower school 3:10pm bell ringing would lead to an amazing afternoon snack. Usually we hit up

I hate to break it to you, but requesting the phrase, ‘full bodied,’ is not only used when ordering a glass of fine wine. Having a big, volumptuous bouffant is the in thing at the moment, and teasing my hair has always been an essential part of my every day routine. Growing up down South,
