Loss of a matriarch….

My husbands grandmother (not to be confused with my grandmother that I write about all the time) passed away last night. She was 97 and lived with such vitality and grace until the end.I feel uncomfortable writing about such personal things on the blog, but I just wanted to explain my absence and recognize what [...]

RHNJ-Family Vacations Suck. Especially other people's families.

So I am back in NYC for a few days and that means…. TIME. Quiet time. Time to watch TV on my very own couch and recap terribly awesome shows as I please.

The past ten episodes of this NJ season can be summed up as follows:

The Guidicies spend embarrassing sums of money as we cringe. [...]

Off to the fair…

The NYIGF fills me with joy and excitement coupled with complete and utter dread… Why? Well, because ITS HUGE!! But of course, I cant ever miss one and feel guilty when I dont go for all of the days.

It makes it easier if you scout out some companies from before hand… I like to hit [...]

I still think Kurt Cobain is hot.

Watch this video. Trust. 

Happy Birthday Cookie!

My little munchkin is 2 today… It feels like only yesterday that I was hideously pregnant, complaining to anyone who would listen (no one) and then sitting in a hospital bed for 12 hours shivering, itching and throwing up while an enterouge of 20 people hung out chatting and saying “It’s been a [...]

People under 20…

..just dont interest me. AT ALL. I’m not talking about people I know, I’m talking about teeny bopper celebrities. I have no problem with the fact that they exist – 13 year olds need someone to look up too, after all. What bothers me is when they are discussed as if they are important by [...]

Travel Lust: JK Place, Capri.

One of my friends emailed me from her vacation in Capri…

“Nicole, you must check out this hotel. You will love it. My husband wants to slice it off the ground and bring it home with us. We wouldn’t change a thing.”

Ummm… After seeing pictures of  the JK Place Capri, I now want to sell all [...]

Valentino: Runway to Hallway

I never do this feature, mostly because it never occurs to me. But when I saw this dress from the Valentino Resort 2011 collection, I instantly thought of this stairwell designed by Interior designer Amy Lau and Maya Romanoff for the Kips Bay 2009 Showhouse.

Startlingly similar –  arent they?

Lanvin, New York

Lanvin’s Boutique in NYC opens today… finally. And from these pictures, its as fab as their clothing. Who would expect less.

This really makes me want to head back to the city and start shopping for fall. Not pre-fall. FALL. It’s so FN hot and I already had my vacation, so I’m really ready for fall. [...]
