The Top Five Bespoke Chocolatiers in Zurich? Second Up: Honold Tea Room

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.

The Top Five Bespoke Chocolatiers in Zurich? First Up: Truffe

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 [...]

This Summer’s Sip

Hiking the Swiss Alps during the day and lounging in pure luxury bliss at night became my instant routine last week on vacation with my family! But on one of the afternoons where I completed the daily 8 mile hike early, I decided to lounge by the pool and totally craved something icy-sweet. So when [...]

Step Right Up Into Summer With Coach

Bonjour, summer child. It’s been awhile! And oh, how I’ve missed making homemade blueberry pies, flaunting bright colored Essie polish and my personal favorite of nixing the self tanner, I can’t tell you how excited I am for this fine {bikini} season to be here! And to kick off these good ‘ole summer days, one [...]

Oh, what happens in Casa Blanca…

When my best chica proposed the idea of coming over to my place {aka Casa Blanca}, inviting our NYC tribe and becoming dough boys for the evening, my immediate response was “girl…A. flour mess and B. busy real estate job? Umm…let’s go out for dinner instead and ditch the Windex fest?” But when I heard [...]

Sweet Satisfaction On A Rainy Day

Rising on this foggy Monday morning was hard enough! But adding the rainy drizzle into the mix? Um…I’m fine! Between my toesies getting soaked to my bouffant losing its volume in the humidity, there’s only one thing that can make this girl’s Monday that much better…one word says it all: chocolate. Now, I’m not talking [...]

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

Looking back, I really have learned so much from my mother. Between tying my shoes, using my manners and maybe the most important of saying the fine word no, the woman is a complete legend in my book. And although she is coming to visit me next week {cannot wait to spoil her!} for girl [...]

CHICO DE MAYO

This weekend is sure to be filled of fiestas, margaritas and my personal favorite, guac. But dressing up like a Meh-hi-co chica? I’m fine! So as I was searching the net to find the perfect “chico de mayo” outfit to flaunt next to all the sombreros I found this perfect number from new NYC based [...]

An Edible Break

Oh Friday, it’s about time my friend! After a glam-filled week of classic bubbles, downtown concerts to even a Brooklyn potluck, this workin’ girl is one tired seniorita! Which is why I couldn’t be more thrilled to have a weekend filled of low-key evenings, organizational errands and my personal favorite, pampering. Hola. And as much [...]

Fake Your Bake With Vita Liberata

There is absolutely nothing worse than getting a bad {not to mention stinky} tan. Wooh! And the worst part is the majority of us have all been there. Let’s just say: I’m fine! But with the summer sunshine blowing on in into the city, it’s finally time to shed our winter layers {& albino look…} [...]

The Crèmebebés of NYC

Although I’m not even remotely close to becoming a mommy {or married, speaking of!} any time soon, I do spend a decent amount of time around some fabulous and hip mamas in NYC. Between working, working out to shopping {who doesn’t love Lulu Lemon?}, I’ve made my fair share of mamas + mamas “to be” [...]
