I never though I’d have it in me but my fellow New York style mavens, I have a confession to make…since its opening in April of this year, I have not purchased one thing from Topshop and I have only been inside the store 1.5 times! (The .5 occasion was because I had to turn <... >
Last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon on a Sunday evening at the Mercury Lounge in NYC where Sean was performing with his new band. While it’s not an evening with John Lennon himself, I could surely feel his energy and the inspiration he’s had over Sean and his <... >
A while back we featured a giveaway of some pretty sweet Rodial products. Celebrity favorites, might I add… So when we heard that the brand teamed up with Billion Dollar Babes, one of the original discounted designer fashion clubs, to feature a 2-day sale on their products we were giddy with excitement. Selfishly though, we <... >
This year, I’ll be hosting Christmas dinner in my fabulous new Brooklyn apartment, and while I can’t wait to decorate and prepare a feast, I simply have no time to shop for gifts! Nor do I have the time to guess what it is that everyone wants! If you’re hoping to gain some points this <... >

Thanksgiving is approaching and all we can think about is good times with friends and family and good food.

It all sounds so tasty until we think about possible spillage on our clothing to the food <... >
During a recent trip to the MoMa, I found myself preparing to enter what appeared to be a funhouse occupying the Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters and Galleries. Said funhouse was actually a set of fluorescent paintings adorning the entrance to the Tim Burton retrospective now on display through April. The third floor gallery features <... >
There are ingredient lists best left to the imagination. Sausage, for example. Delicious, yet…mysterious. The way it should be. Little black dresses, on the other hand, are delectable in their own right – but understanding their construction wouldn’t exactly hinder a gal from throwing one on with a pair of her sexiest pumps. Yours Truly <... >

Aside from running around after her two young daughters, <... >
The other night my dad and I were discussing the mayhem that surrounds Christmas across the US. Mayhem such as Christmas music playing only days after Halloween (that’s right, Halloween, not Thanksgiving!) and the tis’ the season-esque commercials on tv, it’s too much! Per our conversation, my dad then proceeded to tell me about the <... >

The warm fuzzy feeling you get from giving back to your community is really priceless. Whether it’s something as small as helping someone cross the street, participating in your local food drive around the holidays or as big as creating an educational organization dedicated to helping kids improve their reading and math skills. In celebration <... >
If you spent your daylight-savings-extra-hour-of-sleep dressed as Lady Gaga drinking cocktails with your girlfriends in celebration of Halloween (maybe that was just me…) instead of actually sleeping, Origins and illy caffé have just the solution for your poker face.

Though the weather outside is starting to get a bit frightful (Fall, where did you go?!), it doesn’t mean you’ve already got to start spending your weekends cooped up at home.

Enter the Brooklyn Museums latest photographic exhibit, Who Shot Rock <... >
“Baby we were born to run.” Bruce Springsteen had the right idea with his popular 1970′s hit. At least that’s what 40,000 runners are thinking as they prepare for the 40th Annual New York City Marathon this Sunday, November 1st. More than two million spectators will descend on the sidewalks of the five boroughs – <... >
For most busy New York women, the recommended 8-hours of sleep a night has never been a possibility. There’s always something keeping us up late and waking us up early, interrupting our precious beauty rest and leaving us with the dreaded under eye circles and less than glowing skin. Until now… United Feather & Down <... >
Halloween. A top contender on my list of favorite American “holidays” – mainly because it provides a ready excuse for me to indulge in as many tricks and treats as possible.
