The New In-Store Shop at Bed Bath & Beyond Mount Vernon

Post Sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond I get so excited when I’m asked to share anything that has to do with Westchester County. So when I heard that Bed Bath & Beyond in Mount Vernon had a new in-store shop I couldn’t wait to check it out! As someone who’s into fashion and not afraid to order jeans or anything for that matter online, I’m always happier when I purchase interior items in-store. I can never judge size from measurements for tables, picture frames, pillows and well you know everything. Needless to say, I was really happy to head to…

Photography by: Amanda Elle I’m not into weddings. Yes, not even the royal ones. It’s ok to roll your eyes I get it. Weddings are just not my thing. But I obviously caught a lot of the royal wedding coverage and all I could notice is all the fascinators!

Westchester Living: Food I Love – Flinders Lane Stamford

A few weeks ago I had dinner at Flinders Lane in Stamford, Connecticut. And my goddess the food was delicious! There was a band when we walked in and the restaurant’s overall vibe was very cozy. Today’s Westchester living post is focused on this new food that I love! I know how hard it is to find new restaurants in the Westchester County area, so if you like this post comment at the end. It’s easy to always go back to the same places, but I love being able to try new restaurants and share them with you. To give you a bit…

Westchester 101: Current Favorite Spots Plus A New Look!

Photography by: Amanda Elle I’m starting this new series Westchester 101 for my local babes that are looking for great spots in Westchester! In this post, some spots are new and some have been around forever. Becuase I’ve always worked so much (not complaining) I’ve never been someone who does anything that’s not my personal version of productive. Things like brunch, workout classes, shopping, and self-care have been put on the back burner for a while over here! I talked about this more on my BLVD Westchester post. I also worked in retail for eight years, so the mall wasn’t a…

Lord & Taylor x Simply by Simone

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let thing happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” Leonardo da Vinci Photography by: Amanda Elle I hosted my first event ever as a blogger two weeks ago at Lord & Taylor in Scarsdale and it was so surreal. The idea behind me hosting an event was first to try and become more connected to my Westchester audience. I’ve lived in Westchester my entire life so it’s important to me that I start working with my community! I also love living here…
