spring

As the saying goes 'No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.' And with the warmer weather and sunfilled days, I'm planning to take advantage of what NYC has to offer. There's the Cherry Blossom festival, games at Yankee Stadium, eating at the yummy Shake Shack, and the Tribeca Film Festival all going on this spring. Enjoy! -Heather R

spring jacket

I’m loving the recent change in weather but I’m not prepared for spring at all! My biggest problem right now is finding a spring jacket. I love the look of a classic trench but I want something a little more exciting – maybe in a vibrant color like red or green. Well I haven’t found the perfect one yet so for now the hunt continues! -Maria

itunes essentials

I've been buying a lot of music from itunes lately to update my ipod and I discovered something new, "i tunes essentials"! Basically itunes created mixes of songs from all different years and genres. Some of my favorites are "60's Rock", "Alternative Hip Hop", Total Workout" (perfect for workout sessions with Levi)! -Erica

Dave & Busters!

I'm so excited because it is my husband's birthday on Friday and I am going to surprise him by taking him to Dave & Busters! He has absolutely no idea and I can't wait to play skee ball and the Dance Dance Revolution game! -Heather

Spring Shopping!

Yesterday morning was no nice and sunny here in NYC that it made me excited for spring! That got me thinking about my spring wardrobe. I love all the bold colors for spring, especially the bright yellows and electric blues. I’ve been tagging so many pages in my huge spring magazines of looks that I like. Last night, I was perusing through my Bloomingdale’s catalog and there was a Tory Burch dress I loved, which then led me to browse Bloomingdale’s website. I found this fun Marc by Marc Jacobs dress. I’m obsessed and need it! -Candace

girl scout cookies!

Since I am such a great aunt (and I have a secret obsession for tagalongs) I ordered several boxes of Girl Scout Cookies! I ordered some for home and work – samoas for Rich (his favorite), tagalongs for me of course and an assortment of others for my family…and maybe the tartelettes if they actually survive more then 2 days in my house! Heather R also ordered some from her relatives so we should be on cookie overload soon...yum! -Maria

Italy

So, remember a couple of months ago I casually mentioned that maybe I would book a trip to Italy that day? Well I did, and now it’s finally HERE, and Phil and I are leaving tonight for 10 days in Venice & Florence! We’ll be in Venice for Valentine’s Day, which is like a double treat. I am beyond excited to show him around Florence and basically eat everything that crosses my path. The timing couldn’t be better…the weather is just starting to get pretty blah and the winter doldrums have officially set in, so I really can’t wait to go someplace that inspires me and get reinvigorated. And when we get home, hopefully spring will be (sort of) on the horizon. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! -Alexis
