There’s something about a crisp white oversized button-down that just does something to me. This is one of those key staple items that is SO versatile. I styled this in two different ways. First, I paired with a cropped leather jacket (kind of my go-to move lately). Secondly, I threw a basic black blazer over it. Instant work chic. Each has it’s very own distinct and unique feel (and with such a subtle tweak, I may add). Not to mention, you can wear alone for a super…
(From Left to Right) Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum | Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser | Coconut Oil | Peter Thomas Roth Mega Rich Intensive Anti-Aging Cellular Eye Creme | L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream | Clarins Toning Lotion (Normal / Dry Skin)[/caption] Skincare is kind of everything to me. I’m constantly reading about skincare, trying new products, and harassing the salespeople at Sephora and various department store counters (heh, heh) for new insights. Can you blame me? I just would like to understand what will ensure my skin remains glowing and youthful, dammit! …
I stumbled upon a new restaurant called Santina with some friends last weekend while having a day in the meatpacking district. This place is essentially a glass box directly underneath the entrance to the high line. For those of you who don’t live in NYC, the high line is a structure created from old railroad tracks. It has now been turned into a park with beautiful gardens and architectural delights (aka, a tourist’s dream come true). The aesthetic of this…
I’m in utter confusion when it comes to putting outfits together these last few weeks. It IS spring, but it’s not reallllly spring…It’s been in the upper 50’s, sometimes mid 40’s in NYC. I’d love to pull out all the stops and start whipping up delightful fresh new spring outfits. However, lately I’ve been resorting to booties, light sweaters, and jeans until spring decides to wise up. Ok, I’m done with my weather rant. Easter Sunday last weekend turned out…
Ok, I need to document my meal last night at Javelina Tex Mex in Flatiron. You GUYS, I think I’m officially in love with tex mex. Or maybe, it was the queso. Or maybe, it was the cilantro avocado margarita that just did me right. It was recommended that I go try this place out by a close foodie friend. On top of that, I went on Eater and saw that Javelina was number 1 on the list for hot new March restaurants. I…
A close friend of mine just landed her dream job at a creative agency in NYC, and told me she wanted to update her look. Her and I completely agree that it’s so crucial in this industry (and in any profession for that matter) to look the part, so to speak. I mean, you can walk into a room and own it simply by wearing the perfect statement blazer or a killer pair of heeled booties. It’s all about how…
I had a somewhat life-changing (too much?) experience at the Nars store in Soho last week. First off, Nars is my favorite make-up brand. Prior to my store visit this week, I’ve always sworn by their face makeup using their bronzer, blush, and tinted moisturizer religiously. I went to the store with the intention of picking out a new foundation, and I came out with a few more products than planned. Hey, I needed them! I sat down to get my face done up by one of their makeup artists. Her…
Wow I missed Miami. I hadn’t been since college, and I have to say this current trip kind of woke me up from (what seemed like) a winter coma. I was itching to get down to the 305 for some sun, sand and great eats. With just a long weekend to work with, I feel like my boyfriend and I managed to squeeze in a ton. Below I’ve listed some of the spots that we ate it, in addition to some of the…
Lately, I have been on an almond flour kick. I will literally try to include almond flour in almost anything I’m making lately. From cakes and cookies, to pancakes and sauces, let’s just say I have not been shy when it comes to experimenting with this ingredient. It’s a healthier alternative to white or whole wheat flour, and as a plus, it’s gluten free. Almond flour or almond meal are the same thing and can be used interchangeably. So, if you…
I’ve lived in Manhattan for almost four years now. I am a Brooklyn lover. I mean, literally, any chance that I can get I will take an adventure over the bridge. I’m only at the beginning stages of my love affair with BK, and I have no intentions of cutting ties anytime soon. There are countless restaurant, bars and spots to explore (did I mention my love for just straight-up exploring? I love to frolic all over Brooklyn and Manhattan…
