Fine Dining in NYC

Hello All!!

I had a fabulous night out in TriBeca NYC last week at DYLAN Prime. I enjoyed a filet mignon cooked to perfection accompanied by a spectacular pumpkin pie with warm apple cider. What a wonderful night in a great setting. It was a little empty for a weekend night, but all the better...I could actually hear what I was talking about. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a superb steak in a great setting. It is right by the Holland Tunnel, very easy access. We had great service on top of great food, my only warning is just be prepared to spend.

Anyone have any restaurant recommendations?

HD Foundation!


So, I decided to try Make Up Forever's HD Foundation last week, and let me tell you, I love it!! I have been using DiorSkin Nude for a year or two now, but I think I am officially changing. The consistency of this foundation is so silky and smooth, it feels as though you have nothing on, yet provides full coverage of any imperfections. The only downside I can think of is that there isn't an SPF component. My advice on that is that you shouldn't be relying on your foundation for broadband sun protection, because SPF 12 is not adequate. You should be using a moisturizer or sunscreen by itself at a minimum of SPF 30. I don't care if it's winter or cloudy, it is always so important to protect your skin!! Stay safe, and let me know if you try this foundation, and your thoughts. I picked it up at Sephora!!






A Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! So much to be thankful for each and every day!!

New Anti-Aging Regimen, Help me!!

Hello all,

Just decided to buy the "Help Me" retinol anti-aging product by Philosophy. A friend of mine has been raving about their anti-aging arsenal, and I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase one of the less powerful retinol products they have. I have extremely sensitive skin that has just come out of a horrendous battle with cystic acne over the last year, so I am very cautious when introducing new products, and especially wary that it may cause an outbreak. I will let you know how this product works, if at all. Wish me luck!!

You can check this product, and other philosophy products here.

And the Lace Trend Continues.....


I am a huge fan of blazers....and I found a way to incorporate this fall's lacey trend with one of my staples...a lace blazer!! You can dress this up with a dress or use it casually on the weekends with a pair of dark skinny jeans and some flats. A very versatile and effortless look. This jacket also has hidden shoulder pads to add some structure. If you are wondering where I found this...it was at the Saks Outlet. Happy Shopping!
