The Grand Bazaar
I was so excited to see the special edition images Assouline posted last week of the Grand Bazaar. I am dying to add this book to my collection! I love the vibrant colors and exotic ikat pattern on the covers!

The Sultry Speakeay
Recently I have been reliving my obsession with the Prohibition Era, which means I have been frequenting speakeay's in my neighborhood. I was speaking with a friend and she told me they are becoming more and more popular in New York.
Recently I have been spotted at the Bathtub Gin, which is a very dark, yet fun place to meet a date. It is easy to imagine yourself going back in time when walking in, that is until you see the modern wallpaper.
*If you are like me and love the Prohibition Era, be sure to order one of the gin drinks - you are at a speakeasy! Also, be sure to check out the Ken Burns Prohibition film that was on PBS.

The Devil's Dictionary
I admit it, sometimes people need a "cheat sheet" when it comes to my vocabulary so here is a sneak peak at my dictionary:
Town (n.) - Manhattan
ex: I am staying in Town for the week and plan on heading out to the Country for the weekend.
Hogwarts Express (n.) - 7 Train
ex: I take the Hogwarts Express to work every day.
The Bitch (n.) - Palm Beach (aka one of my favorite destinations)
ex: Mom, this dress would be perfect for the Bitch.
Frontier Justice (v.) - What happens when you don't agree with me
ex: Henry, have you ever heard of Frontier Justice? Yes? Then why on Earth are you tormenting your sister?

Party Planning
This picture is inspiring me to plan my next party - too bad I don't have the table to set my kate spade shoes and pick candles on! I suppose I will have to settle for a cocktail party so I can at least wear my shoes...
Ok, so recent events have also inpisired me to plan a couple of parties, namely meeting up with my Parson's Paris friends, house parties, and meeting one of the most intriguing characters i have ever spoken with in my life.

Harney and Sons
I am forever grateful that my cousin NJM introduced me to the Paris tea from Harney & Sons. It is so yummy and comes in the most adorable white and royal blue tin box!
Recently, I spent an afternoon gossiping and snacking on nuts and cheese while enjoying my tea with CMR at the tea room down in Soho. It's a must if you are looking to catch up with friends!

Breakfast With Tiffany's
While I am not able to enjoy my breakfast every morning at Tiffany's like Holly Golightly, I do enjoy my breakfast with Tiffany's fun dessert plate and mug... thank you Dad for getting me the most perfect present ever! Next item on my wishlist - the tea cups!
On a side note, if you love love be sure to check out the what makes love true site Tiffany has!

Fall Lifestyle Revamp
I am currently embarking on a 5 day cleanse (currently on day 2!) and let me tell you, it is not that easy! I am for sure experiencing some of the detox symptoms but I can only imagine how great I am going to feel after completing it! Maybe this cleanse is the reason why all my post ideas involve food (or meals...). I must get back on track!
Things I hope to accomplish while cleansing:
1. Jump-starting a new, healthier diet
2. Living a healthier lifestyle - AEB, I am still planning on Laduree dates and yoga sessions!
3. Save some money and lose a few lbs while I am at it!

New York Food and Wine Festival
This weekend I spent most of my time representing my company at the Food Network Wine and Food Festival. I never realized how much work it is to talk to people and be on your feet all day long....the plus side is that I got to meet so many people and try so many yummy things!
