Coast of Maine for Labor Day Weekend? This was a question my mom {aka “melbabe” to my friends} had asked me a few weeks ago. I thought…why not? And although I traded honking horns for bird chirps and concrete for picket fences over the holiday weekend, this chica couldn’t have been more ecstatic to be

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

Prancing down 5th during my lunch break {Jamba Juice style, hola}, I saw Kate Spade’s store shining bright like a diamond on the corner. And although it’s not quite time to be flaunting the chunky sweaters + furry coats, I decided to walk on in and see what they had on display for the fall

If your kids {imagine if you don’t have any yet!} were ever struck with the challenge to raise $50 for charity, what would you suggest for them to do? A lanyard sale at school? A spontaneous Tooth Fairy donation {hehe}? Well, when the Russell family was faced with this task they decided a good old

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

founder of wear it don’t bear it: toby milstein Whether it be a personal or public tragedy, we are all affected by the various struggles that life throws our way. But speaking up to actually make a difference on the issue? Many of us try but rarely act to help victims…especially when you’re still in

Between seeing different parts of Zurich, meeting new friends and trying bunches of bespoke chocolate, it’s safe to safe our chocolate tour was a delectable success. Although I loved them all equally for their unique attention to detail and handmade heaven, I couldn’t help but leave out the main two chocolatiers in Zurich: Teuscher and
[...]
When we approached this next chocolatier, I was immediately drawn to the relaxed, yet stylish atmosphere presented on their front porch filled with tables + classic faces. Conditorei Schober is one of the oldest cafes in town situated in the ‘sweet corner’ and when you walk in their front doors you see why it’s still
[...]
The next chocolate shop we stumbled upon was that of Aeschbach Chocolatier. Now, if you grew up in the States this probably isn’t a company you received in your holiday baskets, but for many Swiss-born natives, this is the place to get your brew. Oh, how I couldn’t wait to enter the gates of this

After being delectably spoiled by Truffe’s yummy cocoa, we continued on our chocolate excursion about Zurich en route to the second pick: Honold Tea Room. Conveniently located next to our hip hotel called the Widder Hotel, Honold is not only a welcoming place to pop into for chocolate at any point during the day, but

The moment I heard my family would be ending our Switzerland trip with a weekend in Zurich, I immediately started googling, stalking Suisse lifestyle blogs and searched for potentially anything I could find on what were the top five chocolate shops to pop into while visiting. Well…I could barely find a thing! Obviously, this gave
