Tasting fall on such a beautiful day in Beacon, NY was one memorable experience. Leaves changing into vibrant colors, green grass, bright blue sky…I was one happy girl! While walking down Main Street, my good friend, Katie, and I found three spots that we absolutely fell in love with {this post is an extension of

After yesterday’s post, I had so many emails wondering where I got my monogrammed yoga mat, so I thought I would share the love with all of you! I first saw my monogrammed yoga mat in Oprah’s O Magazine. At My Custom Yoga Mat, you can pick your color mat, your thread color and choice

My yoga mat…Smart Water…Frederic Fekkai hairspray….Champagne glasses. These are some of my absolute favorite things I use on a daily basis (well, maybe not the Champagne glasses! ha!), and they all have one detail in common: they’re all tall and cylinder shaped. My obvious attraction to all things tall carries over to my favorite Italian

As the cold air slowly drifts into the city, our lips are going to be getting chapped.chapped.chapped. After attending Syracuse University {aka the North Pole of NY State}, my solution has always been to use this fabulous product by Sara Happ called “the lip scrub” {in Brown Sugar}. But, there’s a new kid in town

As we say goodnight to summer sunshine, slurping smoothies and flaunting string bikinis, we have to keep ourselves surrounded by something sweet. What says sweet better, especially in October, than fresh crisp apples? Between the apple picking trips I’ve got on the calendar with my girlfriends this month or seeing on FreshDirect that Honeycrisp apples

Chanel {Le Vernis nail polish} There were so many colors jumping out at me as I was walking through the busy “racetrack” layouts of my favorite department stores in the city. New perfumes, makeup collections and palettes. All beautiful. But, I couldn’t help but notice one nail polish color that kept staring directly at me

I recently read an article in Travel & Leisure referring to the Catskills as “the new Hamptons” with its stylish restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. Right in our NYC backyard, you can quickly escape from anyone and everyone to this secluded jewel of New York State. Around the time the hurricane passed through Manhattan, my parents
