New York City is the greatest city in the world but many of us trade ample space and access to a personal backyard we’d get in most states to be in the thick of it all. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the only thing that saved me from going raving mad was having […]

Gearing up for summer travel? If you’re like me, you probably like having your workhorse beauty products on hand at all times. I try not to pack my entire bathroom for vacations because I like being as carefree and unfussy as possible. I have learned to downsize my makeup and beauty bag by opting for […]

The dog days of summer are not over yet with the hot and humid 90-degree weather we’re having in NYC.  It’s the part of the summer I dread the most.  The time when it’s so sticky you can barely breathe, your makeup drips off your face as soon as you step outside the door and […]

After spending two weeks in the French countryside in the Poitou-Charentes region, a week in Paris was well needed. T and I boarded the TGV for a two-hour ride to the Paris Montparnasse station. We were staying with friends so there was no need for a hotel stay.  I had an aggressive schedule of sites […]

MONTREAL TRAVEL GUIDE

Last month’s Montreal trip was such a blast but with so much content, it’s taking me a while to post everything.  It also doesn’t help that I jetted off to Miami a week after returning from that trip.  So now I have three weeks of content that I need to sift through, edit and post.  […]

I accompanied T on a trip to Montreal a few weeks ago and it was one of the best trips we’ve been on together so far. Even though the Canadian city was frigid with temperatures below freezing, we decided to get a reprieve from New York City for a change.  T had lived in the […]

My friend Jill is the queen of rompers and through her, I’ve learned how to style a jumpsuit for any occasion.  I have to admit that I am a novice in the jumpsuit game because I always lean towards dresses for their ease.  I finally caved and bought a jumpsuit from ASOS for my trip […]

An Au Pied de Cochon Montreal review was a no brainier after our visit last week. We dined on some of the best and most gluttonous foie gras in the world. Take a culinary journey with us, as we eat our way through this Montreal institution. How do I start a raving review of Au […]

Hello from Brooklyn! Today is all about the top summer destinations I’m heading to. But before I get started, T and I got back from Montreal on Wednesday and we’ve been pouring through hundreds of photos we took while there.  I have so much to share with you in the next few weeks and I […]

Good morning from Montreal. T had a business trip in Montreal and I decided to tag along so that I can do a travel guide and also explore the city. This is the third day of the trip and I’m enjoying Montreal fully. We kicked a Friday night with a decadent dinner at Au Pied […]

It’s T here taking over for Makeda on her Travel Tuesday series.  I’ve been getting a bit more involved on her blog as she redesigns and re-brands it into a lifestyle destination for glam girls who love fashion, food, decor and travel.   I’ll be popping in on occasion to give my two cents on food, […]
