Marigold Tuesday
I work in the fashion and beauty social media departement at Attention, so it should come as no surprise that many of my colleagues are style bloggers. Although we joke around about the rise of personal style bloggers, we can’t help but take our own version every couple days. We emerge onto the brick NoHo streets of Bond and Lafayette and create our own humorous photo shoots….
Sure,...

Tudor City Italian
A couple weeks ago, during the height of my exhaustion and stress, there was one thing and one thing only that would make me feel calm - good food.
I chose Convivio, the much talked about Italian restaurant in Tudor City that is held in the same regard as Mario Batali’s eateries. In fact, it has one Michelin Star and three NYT stars.
This was my second time dining here and although...

Equestrian-esque Monday
Monday kicked off with a torrential downpour of muggy rain. This is the equivalent of the world saying “don’t even try today”.
Alas, I did, and put together a fun outfit to ensure I started my week with a spring in my step because, as you know, the right outfit has the power to invigorate the spirit.
I went with horsey look, pairing camel riding pants, equestrian boots, a...

Hair Color Done Right
I asked, you delivered!
Several weeks ago, I once again found myself in search of a new hair colorist. Many of you recommended Cutler Salon and after a peak on their Yelp page, which received 4 1/2 out of 5 stars, I knew this was going to be a good hair route.
I arrived the night before Fashion Week festivities began with this dull brown root mop on my head.
Cutler is recognized as a...

Cavalier King Charles Photo Bomb
When I got Lady three years ago, it set off a Cavalier King Charles trend in my family. Soon enough my father got her litter sister, Gwynnie, who is also half cocker spaniel and takes after the cocker parent much more. Then, my cousin Heather and Rich followed suit and got two little Black and Tan Cavaliers of their own, Thorin and Keeva.
This past weekend, we got all four together, wore them...

Relax and Recharge for New York Fashion Week
Last week, the beauty gods must have known I was in desperate need of some pre-Fashion Week rest and relaxation. With a slew of back-to-back events, a week of house guests, and more work than I had ever imagined, a pampered evening is just what the doctor ordered.
Fortunately for me, Aveda took time from their busy schedule (such as Christian Siriano’s show) to invite yours truly and some...

DVF New York Fashion Week 3-Day Extravaganza
Apologies in advance for the ridiculous length of this post, but it is necessary.
You may have noticed that things have been a bit quiet over here on the blog front. That has to do with the fact that I’ve been knee-deep in coordinating and executing a 3-day New York Fashion Week event for the notoriously fabulous designer, Diane von Furstenberg.
Let’s first take a step back.
Last...

Liam Dean Art
I don’t consider myself to be an art connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. Typically I’ll see a piece or art and either determine it to be good or bad, but with little thought as to why.
I also tend to think of art as very “adult”. By this I mean that a person owns art when they are older, successful and settled.
A couple weeks ago I was contacted by Liam...

Fancy Sandwiches in Nolita
I am a fan of Tartines. I ate these open-faced sandwiches quite often while living in Paris, so when I heard there was a French bistro specializing in Tartines, I was very much on board.
Tartinery has a very cool ambiance, but that’s the only thing going for it. The tartines were okay, but I suppose it’s not the best idea for dinner in theory or reality. The real problem with the...

Mint Indian, Can't Compare with Tamarind
I’ve waxed poetic about my love for Tamarind, my personal favorite Indian restaurant in New York. However, I’ve heard from several reliable sources that Mint is another great Indian spot so a couple days ago I finally made the trek to the East 50’s to give it a go.
My thoughts? Mint certainly serves some tasty Indian dishes, but Taramind still reigns far supreme in my culinary...

Dijon Crusted Lamb Chops, Robiola-Stuffed Tomatoes...
While navigating the world of Eataly, I was inspired to make dinner from their local, fresh market. I spiced up two recipes from my to-make list and went to town making a fun dinner that looked (and tasted!) out of this world.
To start, we had a couple glasses of Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay (one of my favorite whites) along with Eataly’s 24-month aged Prosciutto di Parma. I...

While preparing dinner and listening to some tunes courtesy of Nora Jones, Lady decided to do a little dance. And perform some her tricks. Show off.

Run, do not walk, to Eataly.
If you live in New York and love food, Eataly will no doubt become your culinary mecca, awakening every sense imaginable.
I love everything Mario Batali (Babbo, Otto, Casa Mono), so clearly I was going to love Eataly, a gigantic Italian combination of grand food hall, farm stand and unstoppable urban market that just opened its food-frenzy doors three days ago in my old neighborhood next to...

One Year Ago
I said goodbye to dealing with daily sadness and self doubt.
I said au revoir to the idea that the current job was something I had to do, rather than what I wanted to do.
Waved buh bye to letting others control my future happiness and destiny.
Said toodaloo to frustration and a road to nowhere.
Bid adieu to a passionless career.
Said no more for an endless drowning feeling.
Peaced out from...
