Happy Monday! The weather this weekend was pretty perfect - warm and beautiful - but definitely still hasn't transitioned into fall weather quite yet. I'm patiently waiting to wear my leather jackets and scarves but I will soak up the sun in the meantime. And I did exactly that this past Saturday while spending some quality time outside with my dear friend Stephanie who is moving back to Seattle today. (I've known her since I was 16, when we met in high school during choir practice!) I'm so sad to see her go, but luckily ... Read the post
The Coffee Spill
Good morning! So I have a funny little story to share about this outfit... Yesterday, on my way uptown to meet Casey for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, I stopped into Starbucks to grab a mocha and get him a tea. I made it all the way up to midtown on the train without spilling a drop of coffee on myself, which was impressive, seeing that I was wearing all white. I was crossing the street at 8th ave and 50th street when I did a silly thing. I decided it was a genius idea to balance my almost finished mocha on top of his ... Read the post
The Marlton Hotel
Casey snapped these photos right before I ducked into The Marlton to have lunch at Margaux with the Lauren Ralph Lauren team. It was such a fun way to spend the afternoon. The food was really good (hello cauliflower custard!) and I caught up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. Photos by: Casey The rest of the day was fairly quiet with a trip to the gym and then home to make dinner. Lately, I've found that mid-evening, around 8:30, has become my favorite time of day. It's after we've finished eating, ... Read the post
Over the Weekend
This past Saturday morning I was up by 7:30AM. I'm not a morning person by nature, but I have to say I really enjoyed the quiet time to myself, where nothing was required of me besides sitting on the couch, sipping coffee and watching Friends reruns. I eventually met a friend for breakfast at 10:30 then ran some errands in Soho. Afterward, Casey and I went for a bike ride along the Hudson River down to Battery Park where we sat in the grass, enjoyed the warm weather and played with the new Hyperlapse app. Have you tried it? ...

The Mamuye Tote
The Mamuye Tote ( I also love this scarf and blanket.) This beautiful tote was handmade by a woman named Mamuye, who works for fashionABLE. The site's mission is to help create sustainable business in Africa, with the main focus on creating opportunities for vulnerable women. So for every purchase that is made, jobs are being created so that the women are not dependent upon charity, but instead are a vital part of a developing economy. I also love how every product offered on the site is named after the woman who made ... Read the post
MSP Styles: Alexis Bittar
Cargo Leather Biker Jacket: All Saints / Sculptural Ribbon Cuff: Alexis Bittar / Turtleneck: American Apparel I've been a fan of Alexis Bittar's jewelry since 2005, when I was first introduced to it while working as an intern in the accessories closet at InStyle. I remember the pieces that the editors would call in for shoots and thinking how chic and amazing the rings, bracelets and necklaces looked. I continued to admire his jewelry whenever I would pass by this store on Bleecker, thinking how fun it would be to wear one ... Read the post
Celebrating Viva la Juicy Gold Couture!
Sunglasses: Karen Walker / Sweater: Top Shop (borrowed from Helena) / Jeans: Frame (gift) / Boots: Rag & Bone / Bag: Bella Bag (on loan) Lipstick: MAC in Rebel Happy Tuesday! Last week I attended a Juicy Couture event thrown by SheKnows for the launch of Juicy's new perfume, Viva La Juicy Couture Gold. It was held at Gold Bar downtown, which was the perfect venue since not only was the name fitting but the decor was extremely decadent and dripping with gold embellishments. There was champagne to be drank and perfume to ... Read the post
Over the Weekend
This weekend I experienced my very first NFL game by going to a Browns home game in Cleveland. Truth be told, I grew up in a more baseball-centric household, so football was never really on my radar. But recently, I started paying attention to the Seahawks as my Seattle friends got me involved in watching the games while I was home, and then of course when we won the Superbowl, that sure helped a lot. :) But I don't pretend to be a diehard football fan for the Seahawks or any other team since I am so new to it and don't want ...
