{WEARABLE} ART & CULTURE

Walking around Chelsea the other day, I spied a chic, new fitness space called CULTURE. Part “urban country club,” part 1-on-1 athletic studio...

KNOTTY & NICE

Don’t you love how friends of friends can instantly become your friends too? I do. And, that’s how I felt when I met Nur-E Rahman, the designer of Knotty Gal...

A Really Good STORY

A Really Good STORY

The newest “STORY” just opened and this one is, hands-down, my favorite. The concept: it’s a retail space with “the point of view of a magazine, changes like a gallery and sells things like a store.”  Every four to eight

At the Height of Fashion

At the Height of Fashion

The Heat in the Dead of Winter {Part II}

Love at First Sight

So, I just met a bag that I can’t stop thinking about. It comes from Italy. It’s made of python, in the most eye-opening shades of fluorescent yellow, pink, green and orange. It makes me want to throw off my

The Heat in the Dead of Winter {Part I}

Just over the Brooklyn Bridge is Gleason’s–the oldest active U.S. boxing gym, home to 129 World Champions and 2 Olympic Gold medalists.  It’s the actual place where Maggie Fitzgerald (played by Hilary Swank) went pro in “Million Dollar Baby.”  Equinox,

Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  And, luckily for me, it’s also my favorite.  I’m instantly ready to chow down.  But, not everyone feels this way (my brother prefers a solid hour or two to wake up)

Le Road Trip

Le Road Trip

Hopped into my SUV, singing along with Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Nicki Minaj, for a drive up I-87 to visit my friend Audrey.  We met in middle school–the awkward years of french cuffs, braces and big Jersey hair.  After
