Gettin’ Fit for Summer Guide #4: Exercising in Style

  Alright, when it comes to working out the last quality we want to expose about ourselves is that we are unkempt. I mean, seriously, working out is the prime time for post-workout flirting (fact: did you know that men are most attracted to girls after they workout not only because of flowing endorphins, but [...]

Three iPhone apps = a stress-free weekend

It’s around 11:30pm on a Friday night. Downtown. One thing’s for certain: there will be absolutely no cabs available for at least twenty minutes. Everyone is trying to get from to and from The Meatpacking District, the West Village, over to the East Village, and possibly back uptown. Who wants their night to be wasted [...]

Flyin’ to London

Known for being the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, the city of London is filled with such unique culture and history that it continues to be my absolute FAVORITE city in the world. When you “cross the pond” to visit this foreign place, you will constantly be discovering your own unique mini-adventures and [...]

Linda’s Bra Shop

Growing up, national chain stores were the place for me to get a new bra. I didn’t think there was much to the process except getting awkwardly measured in a fitting room by a random salesperson, picking out a bra that looked cute, and then going straight to the cashier. Easy, done, and off to [...]

Get on the “Face Train” y’all!

“You have such beautiful skin! What products do you use?” All women have their own beauty routine and know which products work best for them. When I see someone who has beautiful skin, I always have to ask what products they use on a daily basis!  When someone asks me, I’m quick to tell them [...]

Trainin’ to Greenwich

It’s a beautiful day outside. My thoughts—why not a day trip outside the city?  I’m heading to Greenwich! Off to Grand Central I go, hop on the New Haven line, grab a warm coffee from Dishes to go, and what do you know…in no time flat, I’m on the train to experience a new place! [...]

Bikin’ to Brooklyn

Starting off my weekend with an intense spinning class at Soul Cycle? That’s pretty standard. Starting off my weekend biking over the Williamsburg Bridge to Brooklyn with my friend Tom for the day? Those are words I never believed would come out of this Southern Belle’s lip-venomed lips. But they officially did just a few [...]

The Little Owl

Located on the corner of Bedford and Grove in Greenwich Village, The Little Owl is a neighborhood favorite. Consisting of just ten tables and 28 chairs, the intricate dishes prepared by Joey Campanaro are crazy delicious. I love going to this restaurant.  I’m always warmly greeted by Jared and my favorite waiter somehow remembers (surprisingly!) [...]

Big Event Night

Oh my goodness! After getting ready for a Bon Jovi event this past week, I couldn’t help but think of a better way to launch my Bonjour + Hola blog than preaching to the choir about what an event in itself it is to get ready for a big event in nyc! Here are some [...]
