With phones ringing throughout the holidays with the exciting news of friends tying the knot, I was left with one question in mind: “what oh what to get them for engagement gifts?” It’s a question I’ve received from many in the past, but I finally decided to research options and select my top picks for [...]

Friday, January 18, 2013

Red Carpet Glam. Hairspray Of Edge.

Monday, January 14, 2013

Between the red carpet fashions to the comedic-chic jokes from Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, it’s safe to say the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards show was nothing short of fabulous last night! But besides the elegant dresses flaunted {or torn!} and awards announced, there’s one other element I always love to focus on…the celeb’s [...]

Eggs. Scrambled…Hold The Yolk!

Ohhhh, the weekend is finally here! But between soirées, ABT classes {totally doing this tomorrow…!} and catching up with old friends late over the good stuff, there is absolutely nothing more divine than to wake up, be lazy {flaunting this crisp robe, of course!} and have breakfast in bed.

Access Behind Celeb’s Taste

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

From the moment my friend Tony Monte pitched a TV project he was working on to me last year, I knew the concept he described of combining celebrities, culture and food into one show was going to be an immediate hit.

Date Night: Button Up With A Slim-Fit

Monday, January 7, 2013

A Payard Wonderland

Friday, January 4, 2013

Between Francois Payard trying to “throw” me into the oven down at his Soho bakery to clinging our champagne glasses in celebration of the holidays, it’s an understatement to say it’s been such an amazing time building a true friendship with Francois and his talented team. But just a few months ago, the Payard family [...]
