It gives off a feeling that the world has been cleansed, and the smell is so refreshing to me. But now listen, if you’re hosting a mostly outdoor event in the Summer and there’s forecast for rain it’s stress city for you. Helen Phillips (@styleinherited) and Faith Perry (@thebicoastalbrunette) handled this semi-rainy day with confidence. You would have never known the event was meant to be exclusively outside. A Summer Soirée With My Favorite Connecticut Bloggers It’s no…
(The Skylark, New York City) With an entire month and a half of Summer left, you still have ample time to get yourself some crisp frosé here in NYC. I’ve seen it all when it comes for Frozen Rosé aka Frosé. From adding all kinds of berries, simple syrups, marshmallows on top (yes you read that right) and I’ve even made my own frozé ice pops. So what does it take to make it best? First off, the rosé itself has to be good. If your base sucks, your frosé has no hope. I like a lighter rosé and nothing…
While I enjoy a good cocktail as much as the next person, mocktails can serve a purpose for me too. (AND NO, I’m not pregnant) If I’m only going to have one drink, or if it’s early in the day I’d rather have something sans alcohol. Day drinking leaves me worthless after about 3:00 p.m. and I personally find that I wake up the next morning after a cocktail with dinner at only 90% of my best self. And I’m just trying to be my best self as often as possible. Do you feel me? Well, if you do then…
Last Friday I attended a Storyteller’s dinner co-hosted by local foodie Tiffany Stacy of @breakfastatetiffany and Chef Dan Sabia in Yorktown, New York. Westchester County-based foodies and influencers were introduced to Chef Dan and his pop up dinner business, Wood Fire Food (@wood_fire_food on IG!). His mission? To create lasting memories through great conversation and food. If you couldn’t guess it from the title: Wood Fire Food is a top-notch connecting opportunity in Westchester. To truly convey the experience, I think it’s best to start from the beginning. Let’s back up… Wood Fire Food: A Top-Notch Connecting Opportunity In Westchester…
Three times this past weekend I heard that “Summer is over”. Uhhh, no, it’s not… and if that’s your opinion we can’t be friends. LOL. So, as Summer just begins, I wanted to share my top 10 things to do on the North Fork this Summer. My boyfriend Tom’s family has a summer house on the North Fork in a cute little town I’d rather not name because I’m afraid of murderers. haha, but seriously. Tom and I have been together for ten years, so I’ve been going out east for eight summers now? Something like that! Mostly I’m a…
You know I love a good on-trend on sale item as much as the next girl. But currently, and going forward, I’m focusing on shopping less and only purchasing quality products. Each item I’ve picked out today is either something I’ve used personally, would purchase for myself and are only brands I use and believe in. Which is why I’ve dubbed this post: quality over quantity – my Fall 2019 NSALE picks! You’re not going to find a lot of fluff here. I’ve gone through all 36 pages of NSALE items for you. Listed below are items I find value…
