Melissa Velia

As you all know I’m a huge fan of full length skirts, so as you can imagine, I can’t get enough of full length dresses. I received this gem from the lovely people at Melissa Velia. She is an up and coming designer who has some absolutely beautiful items. I love the color of this […]

Ralf and Sonoar

I love finding imitation designer items at great prices. I had been lusting after the Isabel Marant Ralf boots but didn’t want to spend half-a-grand on a pair of shoes. Luckily for me Ted Baker made a very similar pair for a quarter of the price.  #winning

The Cronut

Have you heard of a little thing called the Cronut?  I’ve been trying to get one of these baked goods for months now and I’ve come up short each time.  No matter when I go the line is always around the block.  To make matters worse, the Dominique Ansel bakery is just steps away from […]

Weekly Inspiration: Henry

My weekly, daily and hourly inspiration is my family.  Today, one of my two favorite little men, turned two.  We are doing a horrible job of keeping them from growing up. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it always, the day Henry was born was one of the best days of my life. He […]

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have recently started to bake. I’ve found that the best dairy-free desserts are those that I make myself! I found this chocolate chip cookie recipe on Love Taza and adapted it to fit my dietary restrictions. They were insanely delicious. My whole family ate multiple as did my co-workers. No one could believe they were […]

Snake

Equipment, Old Navy Ugh.  I was so sick today.  Have you ever had that feeling where every part of your body aches?  That was me.  Even though I could barely move, I still found happiness in knowing I got a great deal. I had been eyeing this Equipment snake patterned sweater ever since Alicia wore […]

Fjallraven

Finding a good, stylish, backpack is a hard thing.  I was pleasantly surprised to walk by a Fjallraven store on my way to lunch.  After much debate, I landed on a mini blue pack.  I’m totally smitten with the rugged, yet classic look.  The future looks bright for me and my backpack. *Collage made by […]

Orange Eye

Shorts: American Eagle Don’t let the month, September, fool you, it’s still hot as ever in NYC. My thoughts are that nothing’s better to let off some heat than shorts and a sleeveless blouse. BTW, I’m declaring that every weekend should be three days long… it’s infinitely nicer.
