Given that it’s a short week, work is a little busier than normal, but I am loving that it’s only 4 days long. This weekend should be fun with a Garth Brooks concert and an event at Brooklyn Brewery already in the books. We got an engagement present last week! That package was definitely nice…

On June 7th, I hit my milestone 30th birthday. I celebrated with a bat mitzvah themed 13 Going on 30 Party at Sammy’s Roumanian.

My parents are coming tonight! Unfortunately, it did not work out that I could take the day off work tomorrow, but I am thrilled to be hanging out with them all weekend. The most important item on my nightstand right now is my Jo Malone lotion. It is saving my hands from the terribly dry…

When I realized how much money I was spending on food for my Prohibition Party, I put myself on a tight budget for the decorations. I propped books from the era (“The Great Gatsby” and “The Beautiful and Damned”) at the ends of the buffet and draped a white boa and silver beads everywhere. On…

True, I’ve hosted theme parties in the past and have plans to throw one in the future for my birthday, but I wanted one that was classy and didn’t feel like a sorority social. From the invite to the food, everything needed to be on-theme. The chosen theme: Prohibition. Albert sent out an invite that…

After about five years on the less convenient river [for me, the only one that matters] the fireworks came back to the east side (thanks, Mayor de Blasio!) so I decided to throw a party on my rooftop. It was a great idea until I woke up to rainy skies. The weather cleared up just…
