Stylish Reading: In My Shoes

In My Shoes, Tamara Mellon Solid read… I have MUCH respect for Tamara Mellon especially given her humble and pedestrian beginnings as she built Jimmy Choo. She’s a powerhouse and that’s exactly what you’ll learn in this book. When she first visioned her line, she wanted to make it truncate the time between showing a line and having those pieces available and she tried… Although it may not have 100% worked out in her favor, she’s trying to change things

On The Road: New York City Drug Cocktails

We all love the Big Apple and there’s always something new to discover while moving about the overcrowded, opportunistic city. Next time, head to Stanley’s. It’s a full service pharmacy-meets-wellness kind of bar. Imagine a soda fountain, prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies, and a mix of “….teas, sodas, kombucha and coconut water paired with pharmaceuticals…” [departures, pg.60] and you’ve got Stanley George’s creation. It’s at 31 Ludlow St.

My Scent Obsession…With Laundry Detergent!

When Monica gets here, she’s not going to be happy with this smell…. Oh Monica, your place always smells so yummy when I visit. What is that scent? Hey, it smells pretty good in here. What’s the deal?! The first is my brother-in-law talking to my sister who is cleaning out her new office space. The second is one (of many comments) from a girlfriend upon entering my house….. The last is a male friend who couldn’t care less but

My Secret Pursuit: Graphic Tees

Well let me be more specific because it’s not just a t-shirt with writing on it….. I’m looking for those graphic tees that aren’t so casual that you’d wear them to a “moving party” but aren’t so stiff that they can’t work with denim. My ideal graphic tee says something slightly meaningful or whimsical or aspirational, has enough room so it doesn’t feel constricting but will be able to work with a full skirt for a store opening or on

Girls Road Trip to Wyebrook Farm

Wyebrook Farm – you’ll love it! A 360-acre sustainable farm that grows just about everything you need to have a delicious meal! Along with four girlfriends, we did the 118 mile trek to Honey Brook, PA and collectively, fell in love. Separately, we’ve all planned return trips too!! You’ll love it because it’s a breathe of fresh air. You can walk the grounds to see the pigs eating (bacon!!!), the herb garden, watch the cows roam, or head to the

Nike Roshe One “All Black” – Thumbs Up or Down?

The beau of one of my mentors says the sneaker is “a little more than ahh-ight“. Understand that his style is a little more casual, less metrosexual and camera-ready but equally as curated as a David Beckham. Now that you’ve got that, the shoe just released and Highsnobiety.com did a review too (the site for everything men’s sneakers), and here’s what it has: -monochromatic (black) -mesh and synthetic materials -matching phylon midsole Is it for you?

On The Road: Buenos Aires’ Secret Staircase

  Buenos Aires is known for its meat and rightly so. It’s so yummy, tender and tasty. Their newest addition for the city of foodies is cheese thus, the go-to place is Bar du Marche. Bar du Marche is in the city’s Palermo Hollywood neighborhood. Argentina already has great wine so throw in the cheese and it’s a marriage made in heaven. Chillax long enough and, of course, you’ll need to order a steak. Here’s what to do next: look

[Poll] Which Kim Kardashian Look Do You Like Best?

I’m not a Kim Kardashian lover but here’s what she does with a viciousness: she stays in her sartorial lane (or her biggest successes are when she does!) she does black all the time (at least 70% of the time) she does a lot of monochromatic looks she lives in heels her clothes hug her shape (even if it’s paid for!) she rocks makeup….always! when she rocks longer hemlines, she typically shows midriff (to create more length) [poll id=”14″] My vote

Monthly Help With “ME” Time

The way of monthly subscriptions is frequent, almost rampant but none, as of yet, promote “me” time until now. Monthly Express (or ME) creates carefully curated full-size product samplings for busy women with hectic lives. Treat yourself for $129/month and expect to receive such items as a sniff box from New Zealand for better sleep. While I think I’ll be sticking to a few weekend jaunts, the concept is spot-on….quality time for the busy woman!

Ready for the Weekend: Raffia Clutch

Have you learned that not everything you wear has to “match”? Take this lesson to heart….plus it will save you soo much money! It popped into my inbox and I immediately started plotting how to add it to my current, ever-expanding clutch collection. – hand-embroidered polka dots (so girly) – silk-screened stripes (slightly upscale) – drop-in chain strap (tres versatile) – it’s tan, orange and….yes, navy! Just wait for me to post my outfit pic with this one….you may even

Personal Reflection: Advice to My 27 Year Old Self

I had some thoughts to share with my 27 year old self…and thought “why not share them with you too because something may resonate with you now…or 20 years from now.” Dare I say, you’re going to get older and while you won’t look the same, you’ll still look good (it’s in your genes). Take this opportunity over the next three years to ask mom as many questions as you can possibly think of and if you’re smart, record the
