This week I…
+ am so thankful for all of your advice about our crazy apartment situation (and don’t worry, there’s an update below!). Seriously, thank you. This truly has been one of those situations where all you can do is laugh because there’s nothing else you can do. I was glad to hear from so many other New Yorkers that our experience hasn’t been that uncommon.
+ (along with Meg) launched two new shots at The B Bar! The first covers everything you’ve ever wanted to know about giveaways (including laws around them), and the second is a quick look at when to report gifted items as income. Super useful stuff here! We’ve got some other longer cocktails in the works, as well as some very simple pre-made media kit templates almost done, so stay tuned for even more.
+ totally bookmarked this interview with designer Paul Hecker. Helloooo apartment inspiration.
+ am very intrigued by this whole Vegan before 6 thing. Have you heard about this? Passing trend or probably a super smart way to approach food?
+ want to remind you to enter the MATINE giveaway! That $250 has to go to someone…why not you?
+ got some work done, but I won’t lie, I mostly stressed out about apartment stuff. So here’s the update (oh, and it’s good)… Read more »

Yesterday, though the temps were a little lower, the humidity was even higher (or maybe the appropriate adjective is heavier), and all I wanted to do was wear as little as possible for my lunch date with Hitha. But it’s New York, and she had suggested Bryant Park Grill, where one cannot show up in a bikini, tunic and flip flops during the lunch hour, so I opted for this super lightweight dress and easy accessories… Read more »
When Carolyn Tillman contacted me to introduce me to her beautiful line of handmade leather accessories, MATINE, I was instantly smitten. I mean, how can I argue with a gal who says, “I believe that scalloped edges and a touch of gold are just about the best things that could happen to a bag.” She’s right, after all!
I loved Carolyn’s bags and clutches so much that I was totally game when she suggested a giveaway — why not get you guys in on the goodness too, right? I think her sweet, simple accessories will be the perfect thing to top off your casual summer style (like, how amazing is this foldover scallop-edge clutch, or this tote with a bow on the straps?). MATINE also makes great little pouches to corral things like coins, Kindles and iPads.
