All Hail To The Detail

Located near the coast of Maine, Swans Island, which houses the most gorgeous handwoven blankets + artisanal yarns created through a time-honored process, is a globally recognized place you cannot overlook. And on a recent family trip to the peaceful area, this showroom was one we couldn’t resist prancing into and learning about…well, everything about [...]

The Perfect Pedi On The Ready

Between spinning, dancing the night away, and running around the city on the go, the stress of the streets has seriously gone straight to my feet! Sorry little toesies…! But just before I reached my wits end during fashion week about how my perfectly scrubbed up + gel polish on natural nails pedicured squeakers went [...]

Southern Roots In City Lights

When you bring a Southerner to NYC, it’s almost like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re going to get! And being a Southerner, I can totally say that with my teased bouffant held high, y’all. But when you bring the craftsmanship, the heritage, and the fine talent of a Southerner to the city, [...]

Truffleinas Awed By Godiva

Pardon for just now posting on this fine Wednesday, but between catching the sniffles bug + not having any internet or cable {thanks Time Warner!} this week, the B+H chica has been flat out of the loop! So when I was brainstorming what to post once I finally had my hands on a working laptop, [...]

It’s All About The Mini Things In Life

At recent W Magazine party during fashion week, I noticed the majority of the attendees were not only all about the over-sized Baked by Melissa gumball machine in the room, but were raving about how delicious these little bagel balls filled with cream cheese were…And yes, I’m talking about the models to designers to editors [...]

Burt’s Bees For Angelic Needs

If you’ve never been struck with an illness that makes you feel anything less than beautiful, it’s impossible to remotely relate to someone who is facing a severe challenge right now. So when I heard two well-known companies, Burt’s Bees + Lipstick Angels, were collaborating with the motive of transforming and uplifting spirits of women [...]

Vintage Down A New Lane

Picking out new accent pieces for Casa Blanca? That is one I am constantly on the hunt for around the city! But since my apartment has more of a modern feel to it, I’ve found I’m dramatically more drawn to purchasing vintage pieces to mix it up a bit. And although I could spend hours [...]

The Hip Way To Drink While You Think

Astor Wines & Spirits? That’s a go-to for any savvy winemaker to wine drinkers galore! But above the vine of this deluxe spirits mothership, there’s a place I’ve loved to go eat + drink + think for years. Hola! Located above its Lafayette Street shop, Astor Center is a state-of-the-art culinary facility that attracts all [...]

Purveyors of Chic Soles

So long comfy flip-flops, the cold air is making its way back into the city and it’s a must I keep my Essie polished toesies warm…in a stylish way, of course! But while I’ve got a closet full of suede to wedged boots to flaunt, there are those days when I honestly just don’t feel [...]

The Little Black Dress Of The Kitchen

After hearing the oohs and aahs coming from coworkers biting into these new mini munchies of heaven in NYC, it was a must I followed the trend and tried my first {and current favorite!} cookie. Hola! And although I was a tad health conscious about what I was inhaling, I was reassured that even if [...]

Beauty Rest Helped With A Balm Of Flash

Laura Mercier honey bath? Cashmere blanket? Diptyque candles perhaps? Those are all my usual go-to’s whenever I really need to wind down after a crazy work week. We’ve all been there! But with New York Fashion Week just finishing up today, I’m having to take my home remedies to a whole new level. My pick [...]

Capturing The Art Of Fashion

With Fashion Week shining bright around the city this week, I wanted to step back and think about the exciting creativity + dedication other New Yorkers are into at the moment…with a fashion influence, of course! So when I saw these fantastic shots of one of my best friends, Jamie Barnes, on Insta + Facebook [...]
