Love Affair Links

Polka Dots and Pretty Things

The one downside of living in New York has got to be the size of the apartments (available in my price range). If I won the lottery had my way, I’d have (1) larger closets and…

It’s safe to say I’m completely smitten with Spain. From the food and wine, to the architecture and culture, this leg of the trip had me swooning. Having already been to Madrid and done the…

Looking through my pictures makes me want to hop on the next plane and head back to Europe. Since that isn’t a very realistic plan, I’ll relive my trip through a series of blog posts. Care…

Smorgasburg ~ A Mini NYC Food Challenge

Manhattan and I just celebrated our two year anniversary! I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious… My love affair started two years ago, the minute I stepped off that plane. Over the course of our…

Off to the Races

The horse track: It’s an excuse to get dolled up, soak up some sun, sip on a few cocktails and dabble in a little harmless betting. As a competitive person who loves fashion and enjoying…

A Little Something for Mom

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 Moms can be notoriously hard to shop for, especially on Mother’s Day. What do you get to show your appreciation for the woman who is…
