1. Fresh Day, 38 W 48th St (between 5th Ave & Rockefeller Plz), New York City. I am a tad bit addicted to this Manhattan deli that I came across the other week. It’s your typical run of the mill kind of deli…unless you’ve discovered its secret. To the back of the deli, on the…
Have Fewer Things, But Better Things. — Suzanne Rheinstein — I’m not sure what magazine I clipped this quote from, but this motto just really leaped out at me. “Have Fewer Things, But Better Things.” Why didn’t I ever think about that before? Because we live in an age of NOW. We want it now…not…
So I got myself a little pre-retirement gift from hockey writing. When I saw it up on Little Black Bag, I knew I had to get it! Considering how far both the Devils and the Rangers have gone this year in the post-season, it seemed fitting. This “Believe” necklace from Disney Couture ($50 retail) was…
A few years ago, I was reading “The Answer” by John Assaraf and Murray Smith. It was a fresh look at how to incorporate “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne into real-life business techniques. I didn’t get too far into the book, but there was one part that I’ll never forget. Assaraf wrote about his own Motivation/Dream/Inspiration/Goal…
Want to know what my GO TO store is for dresses, especially for big events (like the NHL Awards)? That shop is WAREHOUSE! I first got wind of this site last year when the soon to be Her Royal Highness was out shopping for her honeymoon. She made a stop into Britain’s own Warehouse and…
While most of the hockey world heads to the Draft, I’m heading out of the country. Destination: ITALY. It’s kind of funny because my boss and I always book our vacations and then later he mentions to me where he’s taking the family this year. I always look at him strange, because ironically…that’s where I booked…
In my Friday Loves post, I mentioned my newest addition to the purse closet…a vintage Gucci handbag. Yes, I love it dearly! Thanks to Bonanza.com, I’ve been able to acquire a Fendi messenger bag, Prada handbag, and a Gucci leather hobo. I think the Fendi has been my favorite find of the lot, because it…
I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I thought I’d share some of the things I love right now. 1. Yves Saint Laurent’s Paris Premiere Roses. I bought this fragrance a few months ago, just so I could rack up $250 worth of YSL purchases so I could get the free cosmetic…
So I’m a little behind in shopping posts…I blame this on the extra workload at the office, both of my teams in the playoffs (i.e. I have two teams to cover, but mainly the Devils), AND I’m just a little beyond obsessed with trading at Little Black Bag. You should have seen some of the…
Growing up, I always thought my grandfather did weird things. He recycled those styrofoam containers from food packaging and used them as plates. He swore by apple cider vinegar like it was the cure-all for everything. He gardened, canned, took care of bees, made his own mead, did pottery, rarely if ever watched television, and was…
If you’ve ever walked into one of these discount retailers like Loehmann’s, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Daffy’s, etc., you’re usually bombarded with items that are cheaper than the department store prices. The thing you need to keep in mind…you’re not always getting the best deal. Take for instance the Valentino scarf. Each scarf retails somewhere between…
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” – Dr. SeussSaturday was the last regular season game of my NHL hockey writing career. As I announced it on Twitter, I probably didn’t start to get all choked up until someone from the NHL Alumni tweeted they were sad to hear that it was my…
Not too long ago, I wrote a piece about a new members only site called Little Black Bag. For $49.95 a month, you get to choose one item from their collection. After you checkout, they reveal two other items in your cart that you won’t know what it is until after you’re done with checkout….
If you’re a hockey person, you’ve probably heard or have been following the Newark Mayor Cory Booker vs. the New Jersey Devils drama that’s been going on in the press since the Arbitrators dished out their ruling on Tuesday. I’ve been following this mess for a few years now. I’ve even talked about it here…
If you’re in NYC, you’ll find a lot of free things happening around the City. Luckily, not everything is limited to just NYC today. 1. FREE CONE DAY! It’s FREE CONE DAY at Ben & Jerry’s all across the US today. Stop into your local ice cream shop between 12PM and 8PM today to get…
After reading this wisdom from Mother Teresa, it reminded me that usually, a person would have this kind of wisdom when they are old. With age comes wisdom. The irony is…sometimes I feel like an 80 year old woman with the way my body is breaking down and half the stuff I write about and tell…
Last night, I got to get a sneak peek at the new Relativity Media film “Mirror Mirror” starring Julia Roberts. It was such a cute event with little kids running about, little girls dressed as princesses and prizes galore for the little ones. While I could critique the film and blah, blah, blah…I’m not going…
After my earlier post on my bag lusts, I thought I’d take a stroll through Yoox.com to see what else they had…oh…the spring colors from one designer to the next…how could I not share it with you??? For Fantasy Wardrobe readers…the key to any outfit is to find your signature piece. My signature pieces are…
Have you seen Net-a-Porter’s Bag Guide video? Talk about a fantasy purse closet! Since I saw the video, I’ve been on the hunt for an armoire to house my ever growing purse collection. Speaking of my ever growing purse collection…the hunt is on for spring/summer. Here’s my lust list. 1. Zara Large Rigid Shopper, $169….
