A Memorable Moment With Jordy Towers

Friday, April 19, 2013

Moments happen. People cross paths. But it’s the memorable people you meet in life that totally stick like glue. Or for what many call: a true or instant friendship. One of these moments happened to me two years ago {seems like yesterday!} when I was in London staying with my dear friend, Kristin. We were [...]

You’ll Never Forget Your First…

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

There’s something memorable about your first. Well, first pair of jeans from Imogene + Willie, that is. Hola. Known for their handcrafted jeans {which are finer than divine with the way they flatter your behind might I add…}, Imogene + Willie has instantly become a go-to staple in Music City USA. From the coffee shop [...]

Showering April With Champagne

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

With April showers soon turning into a sunny bloom, there’s all the more reason to raise our glasses to fabulous {and finally warm!} weather…champagne, anyone? But the last thing any host wants to flaunt shaggy flutes. So when I was visiting Nashville recently for the most fabulous wedding, I saw these blissful trinkets at Corzine [...]

Nello’s Chic Bellini

Monday, April 8, 2013

Everyone has that one spot near their flat they pretty much consider their second home…you know, the place to go just relax and sip wine, the place to bring friends for a catch up or just the place to bring a book and enjoy a long {and leisurely!} weekend afternoon. My neighborhood fave? That would [...]

Oh, The Pastabilities!

There are many things I remember from college…the ‘Cuse dome, fraternity parties…the orange list goes on and on! But, there’s one place in Syracuse, NY that I will always hold dear to my heart: Pastabilities. It wasn’t just the go-to place because we all wanted to show our parents or friends a delicious {and all [...]

A Tisket A Tasket Luncheon

Friday, March 29, 2013

Growing up, my mother was always the one who taught me how to do all girly things correctly! From showing me how to correctly tie a bow to improving my Southern manners, charm and cooking skills on a daily basis, she is literally the “bees knees” in my book. But there’s one area this woman [...]

Hippity Hoppity Into L.A. Burdick Chocolate

Thursday, March 28, 2013

Growing up in a household full of chocolate lovers, I was introduced to L.A. Burdick at a very young age. Honestly, I’m surprised I didn’t grow into a baby chalupa after all of it! But when I went up to Syracuse Univ. for college and away from my family, I always made it a point [...]

Shop Wisely. Shop BeGood!

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Between building houses in Tijuana {sans shower for one week} to being involved with the JDRF’s YLC committee, I thought my charity track record was well…quite charitable! But then I heard about BeGood Clothing and the two all stars behind the brand who not only have taken the meaning of being charitable to the next [...]

Edible Sunshine

Monday, March 25, 2013

From actually reading a newspaper en route to work {sorry iPad} to writing meaningful thank you notes {although, I still love you Paperless Post} to loved ones – the list goes on and on! [...]

Humorously Polite

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Planning and hosting parties {from cocktails to dinner soirees!} is one of my absolute favorite things to do. But every once in a while it’s nice to mix up the scene a little bit, whether it’s with a bourbon tasting {I conduct one now every time I’m hosting a party with a different brand…the guys [...]
