Another great find from the thrift store in Bklyn… this black leather skirt! I absolutely adore it. It’s a great length and was only 5 dollars… you can’t really beat that.  The shirt is by my all time favorite designer Phillip Lim. I received it as one of my graduation gifts from college. I just […]

Two life (aka shopping) lessons for the day.  1) Ann Taylor will surprise you, so check it out… oh and everything’s either 30 or 40 percent off… all the time. 2) J. Crew is da bomb… they rock even more because they have great sales as well. This blazer, for instance, (which I had been […]

I saw this skirt in J. Crew… it was a whopping $188.00. My solution? Wait until the skirt hit the sale section and then purchase it with their extra 30 percent off promotion. Lo and behold, the skirt was mine for a mere 40 something dollars. Ah, gotta love J. Crew. I absolutely love the […]

I have always been a fan of Clare Vivier and I became even more enamored with the brand after viewing their Instagram.  It’s a little early to start writing down my Christmas list but I’m pretty confident it will begin with a Clare Vivier bag.  *All photographs taken from Clare Vivier. 

So I don’t actually have the blues but I’m wearing all blue! I definitely overuse this shirt but I can’t help it, it goes with so much. The two shades of blue are just different enough that this outfit works. The neon orange elastic waste breaks up the outfit perfectly. I saw this skirt last […]

The book drew me in from the first page.  I was very attached to the characters – particularly Isabel, one of the protagonists of the novel. Tom Sherbourne, Isabel’s husband, is a lighthouse keeper in Australia. Isabel lives with Tom on the island of Janus – they try to have children but have multiple miscarriages. Everything […]

Listen, you do not go north of Miami for the food.  But a girl’s gotta eat. (and I like good food). So the Yelp Gods worked their magic and we found Little Havana, a delicious Cuban restaurant in Aventura.  The chicharron was out of this world. Everything else was good, but did not live up to […]

Remember when I professed my love for Howard Roark? Well, I think I’ve met my next fictional match. I just finished Cutting for Stone and it was an absolutely stunning novel. I’m beyond pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations.  Ghosh, is one of my favorite characters in a long time. He has that same […]

I brunch. I brunch a lot.  So much so, some might say it’s an occupation.  So when I find a good brunch place, you know it’s good.  You know what else is great?  This place is even named Good. (I love it). I think Good had me at the pastry basket.  I’m a sucker for […]
