#Autumn

Autumn. Colors brighten. Colors fade. From green, to yellow, to orange, to red, to brown. Salmon. Mustard. Burnt sienna. Sage. Such delicious colors this time of year. Specific words come to mind. Harvest. Hearth. Honey. Hot apple cider. Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Pumpkin. Caramel. #Autumn. The majesty and splendor of it all.


If Lovin' The 80's Is Wrong...I Don't Wanna Be Right

I love these earrings. Chic, edgy, fun and fresh. I'm so excited to see a new look in Anthro's jewelry department. It was becoming a bit stale and too predictable when it came to their earring selection, which goes against everything they're all about. It looks as though they've taken cue from their predecessor and sister store Urban Outfitters. You know a piece is great, when you can picture wearing it with a multitude of things. I can see wearing these with a cocktail dress, a chic blouse and pants, a suit and of course a cool T, jeans and shoe boots. I NEED a pair of these, STAT! Check out Anthropologie.com for more info. Happy Shopping. :)

It's All In The Details


Chic. Devine. Rich. Lux. Reasons why I simply adore these pieces. It truly is all in the details. Home accessories are an inexpensive way to freshen up the look of your space. A small investment can give you (& your guests) a fresh new focal point. I'm loving all of these pieces. Go to Anthropologie.com for pricing.

99 Reasons & The Price Is 1


There are so many reasons why I adore Bar Rosso, that I honestly don't know where to begin. The ambiance is simply amazing. It's rustic, chic and warm, all at the same time. Whenever I walk in, I'm greeted by smiles from all of the staff and enveloped in the warmth of the fire from the brick oven in the back, the high ceilings, tiny retro lights in over sized glass vases or what could even be enormous decanters, the second floor, framed by a black wrought iron railing, brick walls, fantastic artwork & photographs, always freshly changed out & a larger than life television screen with the current important sporting event or cooking show on food network to whet your appetite. And, THAT'S just the ambiance.

The food, oh, the food. Tuna Tartare. Beef Carpaccio. The Wood Fired Pizza's. The Charcuterie Boards. The Bar Rosso Burger. My favorite of all has to be the Truffle Fries; they are absolute heaven and can be paired with any cocktail, beer or glass of wine. The saltiness, the sultry earthiness of the truffle, the crisp exterior and soft interior; they're simply to die for. The cocktails & wine selection are fab. The service is excellent. The most exciting thing of all is that they have a Happy Hour, Monday through Friday, from 4-7 pm, which means I can get "said fries" for FIVE DOLLARS!!! How lucky can one girl be?! :)

Bar Rosso is at 30 Spring Street, Stamford, CT 06901. Great for friends, family and even alone time. :)
