Wood Fire Food: A Top-Notch Connecting Opportunity In Westchester

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…

Top 10 Things To Do On The North Fork This Summer

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.

Of course, you should be careful with what you say to your fellow human, but what about all the things we say about ourselves? On today’s Motivation Monday I’m asking you to think about the way you talk to yourself, others and the power of your words. I’m fat, ugly, too tall, not smart enough, hair is frizzy, worthless, clingy, annoying. I mean you know the list goes on and on. And I’m guilty of it myself. I’ve always found…

Westchester Living: Polpettina Restaurant in Eastchester New York

PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMANDA ELLE I’m absolutely a creature of habit when it comes to restaurants. I can be quite indecisive when I have to decide what and where to eat. But who isn’t?! As much as I love trying somewhere new, an old favorite is always an easy choice. On today’s edition of Westchester living, I’m sharing an old faithful, Polpettina restaurant in Eastchester New York. Self-described as a “place you want to be on your day off–your home away from home” and I couldn’t describe it any better myself. Polpettina offers casual Italian American food that tastes homemade. There’s a lot of…

NYE Is Tomorrow! What Do I Wear?!

10 years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn’t settle for it. As someone who writes about fashion, you’d think I’d have my NYE outfit all planned out. Well, I don’t and I usually never pick an outfit out until the day of. I like to have some ideas and purchase a few versatile items that may work for NYE (or whatever event happens to be coming up) and then decide on that day. When the said day arrives, I usually come up with either an outfit I’m really happy with or have…

10 Reasons Why I Love Living In Westchester County, New York

What I’m Wearing: Coat: Unreal Fur | Sweater: ASOS, similar knit | Jeans: J Brand | Shoes: Zara (old), love this pair | Bag: Celine, affordable style | Bag Scarf: Lexicon of Style | Belt: Hermes If you’re new here, I’m Simone and I live in lower Westchester County, the suburbs, right outside of New York City. I was born, raised and did all my schooling here, even college. And before you even think it, no it’s not upstate or the country, it’s just the suburbs. To help further put it in perspective, I work in New York City, it’s…
