Holler…{that would be southern for Bonjour and Hola}! Today, I’m excited to announce a new feature in the Travelin’ section dubbed Travelin’ Through the Eyes of…………! I recently met up for a lunch date with my good friend, Anne Laurence, who just returned from a trip to France with her family. As she was describing

For all of you Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s regulars out there, I have a small request. Try a new place…even if it’s only for one day! You’ll surprise yourself with a fun new experience. Next Thursday or Friday, I dare you to grab a cup of iced coffee from The Grey Dog on University

On June 24th, New York’s Flatiron district welcomed a new friend into the ‘hood called Beecher’s Handmade Cheese. Walking home after a morning stop at Union Square Greenmarket to buy fresh fruit, I stumbled into this cheese shop and was immediately overwhelmed by not only the unique aroma of fresh cheese, but the detailed information

When there is torrential weather outside, the last thing any girl wants to do is get her hair wet. The thought of actually taking the time to straighten my hair, put on makeup, and pick a cute outfit out to then walk outside in the rain where my hair will immediately resemble the orphan “Annie”

Some people say: “You’re never fully dressed without a smile!”… I say: “You’re never fully dressed without your Hanky Pankys!” Why, you may ask? Well, let’s start from the beginning. Over thirty years ago, designer Gale Epstein was inspired and created a lingerie set for her friend out of embroidered handkerchiefs. The final designs were

Do you go to a restaurant where you feel right at home and get a delicious meal? For me, that spot would be Westville in Chelsea. With the owner, Shumlik, and my favorite staff members, Marshal and Andrew, flashing Westville business cards! A restaurant that isn’t too big and isn’t too small, a fabulous seating

Mimosas? Check. Buttered croissants and bagels? Check. Preppy attire? Check! By the looks of it, an outsider would have thought the pre-party at my apartment was for Nashville’s popular Steeplechase event held each Spring. Not this morning. Instead we were preparing for New York’s fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Govenor’s Island. Southern style!

Dinner dates are always just fabulous. But every once in awhile it’s nice to experience something new and exciting together. Recently, my good friend, Matt, asked me to go out to Citi Field and see a New York Mets game with him. I had never been to that stadium before, and was beyond thrilled! This

I’ve found the solution for you… Aesthetic Solutions

I could tell you for days about what the standard Nashville experience should be when you visit… Listening to famous or upcoming musicians at the Bluebird… Munching on buttered biscuits with dreamy jam at the Loveless… Or waking up to the most delectable chocolate chip pancakes at Pancake Pantry… And of course it would be
