FML
The one day I’m wearing glasses and I’m going to a meeting at the offices of the Wrapdress Queen.
I’m so psyched to go, just wish I took the extra 10 seconds to put on my contacts.

Calling All College Students (and anyone else who...
I’ll be speaking to a “Fashioning the Image” class of NYU students tonight about my job. Seeing as I tend to get nervous during public speaking forums and want to provide the most relevant information possible…. If you were going to hear someone speak on social media and fashion, what specifics would you like to learn about?

Bloggers Are People, Too
“Well, my first reaction was I absolutely hate them. Ha! I have to say now, you’ve got to love them, I’m just a little old-fashioned and old. It takes me a little while to come around to it. I mean—I don’t like it if they sit in my seat. But I’m getting used to it. They’ve grown on me. Some of them hang out at Vogue and stuff, so when you get to know them, at the end of the day, they are people,...

Hair Love - Paul Labrecque Salon + Special Offer...
It’s been 10 weeks since my last visit to Paul Labrecque Salon on the UES and my tresses were in desperate need of a touch up. Elana did such a phenomenal job back in February, so there was no doubt in my mind about returning.
I’m still growing out the hair catastrophe of April 2009 and my short layers continue to cause me pain. Elana and I are working to grow out the angles and...

Bouchon Brunch
Sunday in New York was rainy. And cloudy. And cold. Wah, wah, wah. To perk out of my mood, I brunched it up at Bouchon Bakery. Thomas Kellar tends to go the fancy route (think Per Se, French Laundry, Bouchon, etc) but with Bouchon Bakery, he went casual. Fortunately, the food is in no way compromised. The boulangerie-style fare includes sandwiches, soups, and salads, each one better than the...

Chesapeake Bay Retreat in the Heart of the West...
I grew up in Maryland and although Manhattan is only three hours away, I don’t return home as often as I’d like. During the warmer months, I don’t really miss the Orioles, but my heart begins to crave some serious seafood and Old Bay.
Recently, New York got another Maryland transplant with the Choptank, the Chesapeake Bay-loving restaurant offering mid-Atlantic staples like...

I'm in a DC State of Mind
I spent four years of personal growth in the nation’s capital and Georgetown was, without a doubt, my favorite part of town. The cobble-stone streets, the bustling waterfront, the ever-growing shopping boutiques…it’s hard to pick my favorite part of DC’s preppy headquarters.
So whenever I’m yearning for a Georgetown evening, I head to P.J. Clarkes,...

Greek Feast
Awhile ago (yes, I’m way late posting this), my mom came to town and we dined at Greek spot, Kefi. Recommended by my only Greek friend, I was so excited to try out the Upper West Side joint and stuff my face with some spanakopita, phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and feta cheese.
Unfortunately, spanakopita was nowhere to be found on the extensive menu, but my taste-buds were very happy to...

“Embrace the UWS… It has a lot to offer on its own! You talk about it like it’s...”
– I received the above comment yesterday. Anonymous commenter - you know what? Based on my blog comments, your observation is 100% correct. I seem quite defensive of my new home and don’t always treat it with the love it deserves.
Yes, my lovely new home is everything I wanted and more, and...
Attention NYC Dog Lovers
Biscuits and Bath recently rescued a group of precious pups who would have otherwise met an unlucky fate. While most are already in foster homes, two doggies, Cesar and Clipper, need temporary homes until they’re up for adoption in 10 days.
It is in the dogs’ best interests from a health-perspective, as well as while they get used to city life, to be with a family rather than in the...

Got Buns?
I’m a big fan of the Momofuku restaurants in Manhattan. Ko is obviously my favorite, but the Pork Buns at Noodle Bar and Ssam Bar come in a very close second. I raved about them before and will rave about them again. In fact, I will rave about them forever.
Sure, there are many other tasty dishes at Noodle Bar, but I came just for the buns. So what did I do? I ordered two orders. ...

Bottles and Bites
A couple nights ago, Megan and I met to dine and dish at hidden gem, Kashkaval. It was my first time at this little wine bar and I left utterly charmed with it. Located on 9th Ave and 55th Street, it may be a bit out of the way depending on where you live and work, but for us, it was perfection.
Now, the deets: This dark, brick room is located behind a teeny food shop and is very much only...
My Grandma, The Wine Enthusiast
Grandma Jo: How was your house-warming party?
Me: It was great! I have so many bottles of wine now and I don't know what to do with them all.
Grandma Jo: Oh honey, I know what to do with them!
Me: Haha, I know, I know.
Grandma Jo: Just let me know what time you want me to come over tomorrow and we'll take care of that problem.

Random question, but I really love the Michael Michael Kors sandals you've been sporting and I'm wondering if they're these:
