First Look: Rei Kawakubo / Commes des Garcons – Art of the In-Between
My favorite time to visit the Met Museum is in the summer. It’s when the Costume Institue by Conde Nast is brought to life by the Met Gala and is open to the public throughout the summer. This year Rei Kawakubo‘s avant garde pieces fill the exhibit and illustrates the designer’s revolutionary experiments in ‘in-betweenness’
Weekend Recap: Summer Strolls in Battery Park and Woodbury Outlets
Happy Monday! I can’t believe how fast June has come and gone. Time flies in the summer and I’m doing my best to take advantage of the warm weather and with New York offering so many things to do outside this season, we’re slowly crossing them off the list. Saturday We’ve been addicted to The
Travel Diary: Wedding in Wine Country
Ray and I made our way to Sonoma County, Healdsburg to be exact, for the D+D wedding! Healdsburg is just about 1.5 hours north from San Francisco so before hopping on the road, we grabbed dinner at Ha Nam Ninh. The popular dish at this Vietnamese establishment is #25 dry topped with a fried egg
First Look: Saje Wellness in SoHo
I must have stumbled across Saje Wellness while browsing Instagram — their wellness images of essential oils drew me in! I’ve been interested in essential oils for a few years now; I diffuse them, wear them on my pressure points, and you can often find me carrying around a vial or two to aid me

Our Wedding Day Preview
I can’t believe it’s been a week since Ray and I said our “I do’s” surrounded by family and friends in Central Park. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better and the weather held up nicely for our ceremony. I’m so excited to share our day with you once we receive our wedding photos
Maybelline’s Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liners
This post is sponsored by Maybelline. All opinions expressed are my own. Warmer weather is right around the corner for us New Yorkers! Its a fun scene to see once the slightest of warm weather hits; people dine al fresco, the fashion changes from coats to shorts and dresses, and people generally look happier. My
I Broke Up With ClassPass
For a little over a year I was a ClassPass member. I namaste‘d, boxed, barre’d, and reformed my way through 169 classes. Every day I had the option to pick a work out from a range of studios; a majority of the times I picked the work out based on how I was feeling. ClassPass
