My schedule can be unpredictable but there are two things in life that are {usually} guaranteed on a Sunday: church and brunch. A relaxing brunch is the perfect way to unwind before beginning another work week. This week I caught up with my friend Johara from Luvin’ My Curves and we decided to hit up Kitchenette in Tribeca. The restaurant’s known for its down home cooking. I wanted a ladylike frock that was church appropriate but also comfy for the near 90 degree temps, so rocked the little...

The weather in NYC has been so schizo lately. Though we experienced summer like temps in spring, off and on rainy days and nights were pretty common this week. So what’s a girl to do on a lazy Saturday when the weather won’t cooperate? She plays dress up of course. And that’s exactly what I did. You guys know how I learned to walk in heels? I would play dress up with my grandma’s heels. I’d flop around the house in her size 9’s. I couldn’t wait to...

I wanted to check in with you guys since I’ve reached the nine month mark of my year long shopping hiatus. Woo hoo, I’m in the home stretch. I started my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on September 1, 2010 and vowed not to purchase any new clothing or accessories {except underwear} for the next year. I’ve found some amazing thrifted finds over the past nine months so as usual, I don’t miss shopping for new clothing because I consider my thrift store items to be “new” to me....

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. I hate shorts. Well, at least I used to anyway. Though I love a skirt or dress, I just felt my legs looked chunky and stumpy in shorts. Until last summer, I hadn’t worn shorts in years. I loved a pair of Banana Republic shorts I thrifted, but I wasn’t super confident about wearing them. However, that’s all changed this year. I actually wore a pair of shorts and felt super confident. Maybe it’s a product of my NY...

I think I dress pretty casually but my family always says I’m overdressed. Maybe it’s my love of skirts or my obsession with stilettos, but I’m the resident diva in the fam and this Memorial Day weekend was no exception. My cousin, his wife and their three little girls came from Ohio for a visit and we took a quick trip to Van Saun Park in Paramus, NJ. I used to go to this park/zoo as a kid so it was nice to see my younger cousins experience...
