Blonde Ambition at Arrojo Studio
I’ve enjoyed being blonde for the past month or so, but alas! My roots have crept up from under me, and I’m due for a touch-up. My little bob cut from the summer has grown out quite a bit, and that, too, needs some trimming.
So, here I am at the award-winning, Arrojo Studio, in TriBeCa. Olivia brought my current color a shade lighter with cooler tones on top of touching up the roots....

Snakeskin Manicure
Two weeks ago, I was treated to the best manicure, ever! The lovely ladies of Nail Gypsy came over to my home and gave me a snakeskin manicure. Tiffany (founder) and Maria both worked on me, giving me an avant-garde nail design, inspired the runway fashions. When you get an at-home service, its much more relaxing and not rushed. They love using natural and even organic products. For my...

Katherine Kwei Spring 2012
I am so excited to show you a preview of Katherine Kwei’s new Spring. The intimate shindig was held at one of my favorite eateries, Delicatessen. I feel like I can finally do her handbag line justice now with my new camera, since I only had an iPhone at her Fall 2011 preview. It was such a delight to see the designer, herself — looking gorgeous! If you are new to the line,...

Spot Dessert Bar
Throwback!
If there is any post that is overdue, it’s this one. Masquey and I came here in January 2011. That’s about 10 months ago. Yikes! I’ve Tweeted and Facebooked the experience, but alas… now I am finally publishing this on the blog. The photos were taken then with my iPhone 4, if you were wondering about the difference in quality? It’s hard to believe that I...

The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park
New York City can be such a magical place during the holiday season. There are so much more bright lights coloring the streets and an endless amount of cheer in the atmosphere. Just wait until the tree lightings come full swing!
Soo.. I was invited to experience The Holiday Shops over at Bryant Park. To be honest, I’ve never really shopped there until this year! Sure I’ve been there...

Lands End Canvas Spring 2012 + The Wandas
For Old Times’ Sake…
I knew from the moment I received this CD-as-invitation at my doorstep that this will be a fun night. Boy, was my gut right! To sum up the night in a few words, it was full of fashion, art, music and great beer. I chickened out in drawing on the art wall, for fear of butchering the great work already on it.
Did I mention The Wandas played? Uh, yes…

Rebecca Minkoff Girl's Night Out
I must preface this by saying how much fun I had that night! This is where I won the Mini MAC monogrammed by Jenni of I Spy DIY, I wore to the Lucky Shops VIP party. So fab! Of course, I loved catching up with my favorite blogger friends over Skinny Girl Cosmos, Macarons and Cake Pops from Goodiebites.

Fast forward to present day, I’m excited to see the change the store has made. In addition to the glamourwear, Caché is carrying trendy sportswear for everyday. Judging from what I’ve seen at the preview, it’s worth waiting...

Four Cheese Mexican Pizza For One
Table for one?
Yes, please! Since I don’t really cook, I rather order in or heat up a quick bite — preferably a single-serve dish. Who wants to clean up and fridge leftovers? Not I, that’s for sure.
Enter Rustic Crust. It’s organic and needs no refrigeration. I love that it comes with its own pizza sauce, so you only need to worry about getting your favorite toppings....

Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Clutch
What’s in my MAC?
Carrying a super large bag is like holding a double-edged dagger. It’s extra roomy, so you can tote your entire life around, yet when you need something, it tends to get lost in the black hole. Then there are bags like the Morning After Clutch. It’s perfectly sized to store all my essentials, and I can easily locate everything in one look.
