  • SUMMER STYLES: TRENDLAND X REKORDERLIG

    Have you ever heard of Rekorderlig Cider? I first discovered it sometime last year when they were launching stateside. It was paired with light Swedish fare that allowed you to really taste the flavor of the cider rather than overpowering it. So this Summer Styles we celebrate the collaborative effort honoring the Swedish Midsummer –…

  • CARTEL HANGOUT| WÖLFFER ESTATE VINEYARD

    We haven’t done a Cartel Hangout in a while, and it being summer, there’s no better time to do one. This time around we’re talking Wölffer Estate Vineyard in the Hamptons. Let me clarify before you judge me on the Hamptons – I’m southern born and bred, and the glitz and glamour of the Hamptons, or…

  • SUMMER STYLES: ALCHEMY CREAMERY

    Summer has shown its hothead and as much as I don’t want to admit it, anything goes when it’s blazing. Lounging shirtless on the wooden floor of your apartment? Yes. Scheduling your dog walks during the coolest hours of the day? Check. Only eating cool temp meals, to not exacerbate the sweat already streaming down…

  • SUMMER STYLES

    All throughout the summer we’ll be posting cool places to check out in the states and in Europe, sites to visits, must have travel accessories, and so on. But most importantly, we’ll still be focusing on how to stretch that buck even when it comes to updating that seasonal wardrobe. I know we’re not all…

  • HOMME DÉCOR| HYD FOR MEN RAZOR SHIELD

    As a woman who would pick scalding hot wax over chucking razors on the daily, I was quite intrigued when approached about HYD For Men Razor Shield. I know, I know… it clearly states for men, but if I feel annoyance with the lack of sustainability many razors have, imagine how those guys who shave,…

  • BEAUTY HOTSPOT| OASIS DAY SPA

    There’s nothing I love more than being pampered. An hour long facial turns into a day of relaxing, being positive, and enjoying your surroundings. Well for me at least, it’s important to soak up as much positive, self-loving juju exuded during a treatment. And at Oasis Day Spathey know that your experience should start from…

  • HIP & HEALTHY

    Recently, I did the 12-Day GoodBelly Challenge. I love challenges. It’s like competing with myself, which build personal and emotional strength. Anyway, so I did this challenge going in slightly fearful. There are so many things on the market today that you don’t know what is what, what the long term effects are, and is…

  • AIRBERLIN ANNOUNCES BUSINESS CLASS SALE

    The one thing I love about vacation is the splurging aspect of traveling. I mean if you’re going to travel to a 6-night luxury spa hotel in Bali, wouldn’t you want to get the luxury party started in the air? Lucky for you, airberlin has covered. Since the launch of their new business class, airberlin…

  • TOP CELEB LOOKS OF THE WEEK

    This post should actually be entitled Top Celeb Looks of the Last 2 Weeks, as I missed last Monday. I’d like to say that it was due to some uncontrollable situation but it wasn’t. Since the beginning of the World Cup, I’ve been so engrossed and madly tweeting that it’s taken over my world. Many…

  • MASTER COLORIST KAZUMI MORTON

    OK… we’ve never done a Beauty Hotspot on an individual before, but sometimes there’s an exception to the rule. Kazumi Morton, Master Colorist has brought her signature coloring style to the East Coast. Known for the highlights that allow extra re-touching time between each visit, Kazumi has a following of clientele that don’t have the…

  • BENEFIT COSMETICS X LESPORTSAC

    Yeah, yeah, yeah… we’re late on the collaboration news, but better late than never. Especially when their latest installation is ripe and ready for the summer picking. I  was reconnected with why I fell head over heels with LeSportsac during fashion week in February. My old leather clutch that I used as a purse organizer…

  • 2014 FRAGRANCE FOUNDATION AWARDS

    Monday night, The Fragrance Foundation Awards honored the industry’s creative achievements of 2014 with a slew of iconic names and faces. Hosted by revered comedian Dana Carvey, and co-chaired by Carine Roitfeld and model Coco Rocha, the evening seemed more of a comedic fashion show than the monotone events of Prosecco as the only saving…
