August All Year Long

August, in the West Village, is one of my favorite restaurants. The signature cocktails are delicious, I suggest you try "My Best Friends Girlfriend"; just the cocktail! Chef Jordan Frosolone focuses on seasonal and local ingredients to make pan-European cuisine. The majority of seats in the restaurant are in the back which is in an enclosed garden room. It serves for a very romantic atmosphere. My favorite item on the menu is the Tarte Flambe which is a flat bread cooked in their stone oven topped with onion, bacon tart and creme fraiche. If you can't make it for dinner, definitely stop by the bar and have a drink!

Burberry Obsessed

Winter is around the corner and I have been scoping out coats for a while now...yes I like to plan ahead. I am head over heals for the current Burberry collection of coats this season which you can check out at the Burberry site. Though I am crazy about many of them, they are not all practical for everyday wear. This is the coat that I feel is the most versitile and beautiful. It is approriate for everyday use, and evening. I did make a trip to Bloomingdales just to try it on, and it feels like heaven.

The Chubby Stick

Who knows what thoughts went through your head when you read that title. Get your head out of the gutter because I am talking about lip stick. Clinique reminds me of middle school and I haven't used it since, until I discovered the Chubby Stick. I NEVER wear lipstick but since this little tool has come in to my life I have been wearing it everyday, and I have to say, I like the way it makes me feel!

Bow-Tie Blouses

There are quite a few trends for this fall that I like, but one that i LOVE is the bow-tie blouse. There is nothing better than finding out that your favorite shirt, which you have been wearing for three years, is now the hottest look of the season! Here is my favorite blouse for fall by Rachel Zoe:

OH DESERT BOOT HOW I LOVE THE

Desert boots have been in men's fashion for a while now. It is a trend that my husband actually dove in to fairly fast, which is unusual for him. The greatest thing about fashion today is that many things are gender neutral. When I discovered these desert boots for women at Madewell I was in love. They thoughfully named it the dustbowl boot.

They come in three beautiful colors. Madewell has many impressive shoes in their collection right now so I persuade you to check it out! Have I mentioned that Madewell is my favorite store?
