Dining in the top restaurants of New York such as Daniel or Morimoto is an exceptional experience. Multiple courses arrive at your place setting. The eclectic flavors magically compliment each other, and fine wines are softly poured into your crystal clean wine glass. Impeccable service harmonious with generosity, happiness, and steady hands. I never thought it could

According to Merriam-Webster, a doughnut is “a small usually ring-shaped cake fried in fat.” Well, I hate to break it to them, but that definition does not give that fine product justice. Growing up, I always knew following the lower school 3:10pm bell ringing would lead to an amazing afternoon snack. Usually we hit up

Everyone wants to have lips like Angelina, but we aren’t all born with the ability to perk them like she does! That’s why I decided get out and research the best lip plumpers on the market. Brand loyal to Lip Venom all of my life (it literally works wonders!), I went out into the field

All designers are inspired by something, but it is through their eclectic talent of design that allows them to create their individual visions into a spectacular reality for their consumer. Oscar de la Renta and Alexander McQueen are two prime examples of taking something that inspires them, and creating a completely different interpretation for stylish

What image comes into your mind when someone says the city: Palm Beach? On a recent phone call, my mom told me that we would be spending the holiday Easter weekend at that very destination. Two images popped into my head: old money and fuddy-duddy. I couldn’t have been more incorrect with this vision! Palm

I hate to break it to you, but requesting the phrase, ‘full bodied,’ is not only used when ordering a glass of fine wine. Having a big, volumptuous bouffant is the in thing at the moment, and teasing my hair has always been an essential part of my every day routine. Growing up down South,

Growing up, I’ve always had a close relationship with my parents. I’m not closer to one parent over the other, but I do have a unique relationship with them both. I value my mother’s opinion on always looking like a lady, portraying correct manners, doing the right thing…along with many more valuable suggestions. But my

Alright, when it comes to working out the last quality we want to expose about ourselves is that we are unkempt. I mean, seriously, working out is the prime time for post-workout flirting (fact: did you know that men are most attracted to girls after they workout not only because of flowing endorphins, but

Speaking of eating right, I thought it was most appropriate to post about this cool iPhone app that just launched. While cooking with my dad the other night, he asked me what I was currently writing on Bonjour + Hola, and I explained the ‘Gettin’ Fit for Summer Guide’ to him about getting healthier with

It’s easy to squeeze in a quick workout in a speedy schedule, especially with the frequent 45 minute SoulCycle classes or even just staying for one hour of a Bikram Yoga class, but even if you aren’t it is ultra important to keep your body well-nourished. Think of your body as a car – if

It’s around 11:30pm on a Friday night. Downtown. One thing’s for certain: there will be absolutely no cabs available for at least twenty minutes. Everyone is trying to get from to and from The Meatpacking District, the West Village, over to the East Village, and possibly back uptown. Who wants their night to be wasted
