It’s no secret, as past posts will attest, autumn is my favorite season. The changing leaves and abundance of apples at the Union Square Farmers’ Market make me yearn for trips home to Connecticut to bake pies with my Mother, where we trade in our chilled chardonnay for spicier cabernets. Not only are autumnal foods [...]

Hot, Haute & Hamptons, By Erin
Well friends, there’s no doubt it’s been a hot summer so far. If you’re like me, you’ve been running up your Con Edison bill, doubling your daily iced coffee quota, and finding any excuse in the book to get the hell out of Brooklyn and onto the beach! It’s usually right around this time of [...]

Silver Belles
Okay, so it’s not Christmas time in the city and it ain’t gonna be upon us again anytime soon, but it did snow this week, I’m eating just as many root vegetables as I was when the sidewalks were “dressed in holiday style,” and alas, a string of twinkling Christmas lights are still strung from [...]

Though the holidaze has passed, the gaze outside my 5th floor tenement looks a lot like an urban Christmas village, city sidewalks and rooftops twinkling in the glow of streetlamps [...]

Fall for The Dinner Belle, By Erin
Autumn is awesome. Sure, summer is sizzling, winter’s a wonder, and spring is sweet, but fall is fetching, fall is fragrant… fall is foodalicious. I’m sure the fact that I’m a born and bred New Englander makes me nostalgic for the changing leaves, crisp air and homemade applesauce, but I think there’s also something special [...]

Moving on Up… and IN!, by Erin
I love the sunshine. There is no doubt that warm weather puts a spring in my step, a smile on my face and a sweet tan on my Italian skin. Spring is a lovely time, but often brings rain and seasonal allergies, and to me is sort of like a waiting period…a tease of what’s [...]

Fall Food, Fashion & Farmhouses, by Erin

What sort of events, you may ask, could possibly top Topshop? While I may look [...]
