En Blanc

June 30, 2014

It’s not every night you can dress up in all white, bring your own tablescape to the park and revel under the summer sky with a few thousand people. Suffice it to say, this past weekend was one for the books.

This past Saturday, I got together with my partner-in-crime Roxy and our respective loves for PopUp Dinner Brooklyn. The rules were simple: dress up in all white, bring your own food, drinks and table décor and let the magic unfold.

So … maybe it was easier said than done considering how much we had to transport from Manhattan to Brooklyn. After a morning of outfit, food and décor preparations, we ended up bringing a multi-course meal, homemade sangria assembled on site and a spectacular tablescape that included Roxy’s wedding china (would you expect anything less?). All that was missing was one of her signature bar carts — but hey, there’s always next year!

Once we settled in and sangria’ed up, the evening was ours for the making. We wined, we dined and we danced to a guest performance by Ben Folds. I couldn’t have created a better evening if I tried. It’s unexpected, awe-inspiring, over-the-top moments like this that make summer in the city truly spectacular.

date night

February 18, 2014

Staying true to my commitment to celebrating Valentine’s Day in style, I plucked one of the prettiest pink pieces from my closet this past weekend. But this was date night downtown, not brunch on the Upper East Side so I pair the feminine frill with all black accessories — a comfy marble knit sweater, my favorite faux leather pants and a little black bag.
On Friday, I treated me and the boyfriend to dinner at Tipsy Parson — a cute little restaurant in Chelsea that served southern comfort food and plenty of neighborhood charm. On Saturday, James cooked up a delicious homemade meal, complete with wine and dessert. I think this might be our new Valentine’s Day tradition!

street art

February 10, 2014

I may have lived in New York City for nearly a year and half now, but there will always be a little bit of tourist in me. I mean, how could you not just be in awe? This past weekend, Tracy and I paid a visit to the Bowery Mural, a giant wall space on the corner of Bowery and Houston that periodically features street artists from around the world.

This mural is going down in the books as one of my faves. Bright colors and a bold print — it was love at first sight and it was the perfect canvas for my tweed moto jacket, faux leather pants and neon accessories that look like they could’ve came from the mural itself. What can I say? I like my street style to match my street art.
