Estee's Summer Fruit Salad
Here is a great little fruit salad that is quick, easy & delicious. My amazing friend Estee made this at her apartment a couple months ago at a dinner party and it was a hit with the guests.
Three main ingredients: mango, apples & lychee. In this particular one I put in strawberries.. but Estee makes hers with blueberries.Top it off with homemade whipped cream, and you’ve got...

A favorite snack of mine is avocado toast. Check out this great website: Milk and Mode for the recipe: http://www.milkandmode.com/2011/07/avocado-toast.html Also, here is a tip when you are making this: instead of...

Food.Fashion.Music - Tip of the Day
Ladies, many of us forget how often we use our make-up brushes. So naturally, many of us also forget that we are supposed to WASH our brushes every once in a while!
How to: It’s simple. Use a standard bar of soap. Gently rock the brush back and forth under cold water. And like magic, off comes the gross build up of make-up that has been piling up on that thing since God knows when.

Food.Fashion.Music. -- Gjelina & GTA
One of my all-time favorite spots in Los Angeles is a restaurant on Abbot Kinney called Gjelina. I spent most of my summer dining there and like L’Artusi in New York City, Gjelina is definitely one of my special spots in L.A. Every little detail, from the food, down to the ambiance is simply exceptional. The place can definitely get crowded and over-packed, but even that seems excusable. ...

Food.Fashion. Music. -- Sultry Lip Liner
Ladies, It’s that time of year- Office holiday parties are about to start kicking, and what to wear, what to buy becomes a big headache. If you are looking for that perfect winter lip shade that will make the a big statement… I got one for ya. Michael Marcus cosmetics. In particular, I am obsessed with his lip liner (Red Velvet). The great thing about Michael’s line is that its...

Food.Fashion. Music. -- Olive Oil Cake
Last night, I was craving a slice of this:
Olive Oil Cake from L’Artusi.
This cake is a single wedge of incredible goodness. If the word ‘olive oil’ scares you … it shouldn’t. Why? Because you are essentially eating pound cake that is topped with powdered sugar and is baked to golden perfection. On the side, comes the perfect complimentary flavors: raisin marmelatta...

Food.Fashion. Music--- NYC Weather
Winter in NYC- I got my first real taste of NYC weather about two weeks ago… and boy am I in for it. I have lived in Los Angeles for eleven years and the three things that Southern Californians take for granted is the beach, good sushi and the 75 degree weather year-round. In preparation for my big move in Jan., I figured easing myself into that drastic weather change would be the best form...

Food.Fashion. Music-- Chanel No.5
Chanel has defined years of glamor and class. The products just seem to become more refined with time. To me, Chanel is like a great song. A great song is timeless and it sounds just as fu&*ing amazing thirty years later as it did the day it was written.
Although Chanel is insanely expensive, the quality of what you are paying for is remarkable. My grandmother gave me a beautiful, off-white,...

Food.Fashion. Music--- Urth Cafe
I like sweets. And I really like eating an entire bar of lindt chocolate in less than an hour. But in fear of becoming a diabetic at the age of twenty-five, I’ve decided to become a pretend vegan. Yup, I’m going healthy people. That means i’ll be eating lots of kale, drinking a lot of kombucha and eating yummy milk chocolate bars only ONCE a week.
For those of you who are...

Food.Fashion. Music--- Ryan Adams
Music: It takes a lot of courage to wake up every day and say, “Okay, today I am going to be creative.” Art is personal. It is a reflection of what the artist is feeling and going through at that moment in their lives. And often, it takes a hundred disappointing moments to actually have one that feels right. I have been listening to a lot of new music lately. I find that that helps...

Food.Fashion.Music-- Napa Valley
Napa Valley aka Wine Country. One of my favorite places in the world. It is a mecca for people who really appreciate the art of good food and good wine. I am certainly one of those people. This past weekend, I took a very special trip up north. My boyfriend and I made the arduous six-hour drive up, stopped in San Francisco, dined at a fantastic restaurant called Flour + Water, then drove...

Music: September absolutely flew by and as October rapidly approaches, I am preparing to head back into the studio to start recording my new EP.
New songs, limitless creativity, and a new and inspired soulful direction.
What will this new EP sound like? (definitely a question I have been hearing quite a lot recently) Well, I am lucky enough to be using a lot of the same...

Fashion: In traveling back and forth to New York and Los Angeles this weekend, I seemed to have forgotten that I need to make a conscious effort in keeping up with this blog! What inspired me to write tonight is an incredible book I just started reading. It is Paulo Coelho’s new novel called Aleph. I am about 30 pages in and I have already become entranced by his...

Sigh No More — Mumford & Sons
I was told to listen to this album seven months ago. Of course, me being me, I didn’t. The reason being, I was absolutely convinced that Mumford & Sons would “not be my thing.” It wasn’t until a few days ago that I finally talked myself into giving the record a chance.
Seven months later, I’ll...

Food. Fashion. Music.
Fashion: One of my very close friends is a wonderful man by the name of Michael Marcus.
Michael and I met two years ago at one terribly crowded, overhyped, Los Angeles Grammy gifting suite. Since we seemed to be the only sane people in the room, we instantly bonded.
I have talked about Michael Marcus’ products before in many different interviews, but like I said...

To further this love of tasty things, I decided to bake this weekend & I made something that actually turned out pretty damn great. This recipe is originally from the magazine Bon Appetit,...

Fashion can be a number things. To name a few: Clothing, cosmetics, accessories, behavior, a way of life —- The list goes on.. and all of those things make me equally happy! I recently started using a new product and I’m still trying to figure out if I love it. The brand is called Orlane. It’s a ‘cryme de beauty’ from Paris and it’s a...

Food. Fashion. Music.
Food: Thank God for apps like Epicurious because without them, non-cooks, like myself, would be SOL. One recipe I nearly perfected this summer was a raw kale salad. It’s healthy, takes 20-30 mins to make and its delicious. Here’s what you need— a pound of raw kale (tuscan kale or lacinato kale) for the dressing— 2 tablespoons finely chopped...
