  • Last Thursday, I was invited to return to the Meatpacking District (I had just been there for a NY Fashion Week event) and peruse the area via a grown-up “treasure hunt”. With a treasure map of five distinct jewelers – all, within a couple blocks of each other – my friend Rae and I spent…

  • My “happy place” used to be Harrods and the Kensington Palace lawn. But since I don’t live in London anymore and I have no shopping budget, I had to adjust.

  • This past Friday, I was invited to attend a session at the newly-opened Paint & Sip Studio on the Upper West Side. The “BYOB and paint” thing is something I’ve always wanted to do, but never got around to trying. So I can’t even begin to express how much fun it was to finally be…

  • I love all things luxe and high-end, but I can’t be bothered with the snobby, pretentious attitude that can come along with it. Check out my list of six upscale, yet down-to-earth places to visit in NYC when you have some extra cash to spare. (Or if you’re lucky enough to score a free invitation.)…

  • When it comes to brows, it has always been about either plucking or waxing – that is, until I was introduced to the amazing world of threading and realized that New York has tons of awesome (and cheap!) threading salons all around the city.
