The Dress? The Stress! What am I going to do with my Tress?!: Don’t let picking out your wedding dress become “the stress!” Start early. You aren’t getting married tomorrow, and although it is important to get your dress early on to allow for ordering and fittings, you still have time to pick the perfect [...]

Friday, March 16, 2012

Been brand loyal to Miss Dior Cherie for years? That would be me! But then again, who wants to wear the same fragrance all the time? For the last month, I’ve been on the hunt for a new fragrance to spice it up! Luckily, while walking down Crosby Street, this girl walked into the swankiest store [...]

Mississippi Hits NYC: Shrimp Boil Style

Thursday, March 15, 2012

From the moment I clicked “attend” for my life long friend’s Mississippi Shrimp Boil, I knew that I was crossing into a new territory of the South. I mean, I’ve grown up with my mum cooking fine meals, including mini shrimp boils on our porch in Nashville, but my friend, Caroline, who has been living [...]

Barbour Up

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

While visiting Baltimore this past weekend, I was surrounded by top notch athletes and preppy chic senioritas, but I couldn’t help but to notice one article of clothing that blatantly stood out. That would be the Barbour jacket. Classically known to be the go-to jacket for your ultimate prepster, I dare to differ. My eyes [...]

What’s In Your Jar?

Monday, March 12, 2012

Still carrying a paper sack to work for lunch? Um…that’s so 1998! With mason jars being all the rage right now {from serving your guest’s wine or beer in them to even making them a perfect votive candle holder for your table setting} I couldn’t think of a better way to hip up the way we bring [...]

Light as a feather. Stiff as a board.

Friday, March 9, 2012

Pillow fights? Painting nails? Making up dances to Britney Spears? Late night chit-chats over crushes or prank calls? I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a slumber party. It was time to call up the chicas! Definitely not your ordinary Wednesday night in Manhattan… Where oh where to begin? Evening color theme? Girly pink! [...]

A Swede Fix

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

While recently strolling through the streets of Greenwich Village, I unexpectedly came across an amazing neighborhood gem. If their unique name, Sockerbit, isn’t intriguing enough for you to come in off Christopher Street, maybe their Scandinavian smågodis {“little candies”} housed inside will! All white with a crisp clean-cut look, Sockerbit {which means “sugar cube”} makes their [...]
