12 Inexpensive Valentine’s Day Date Night Ideas (From the Comfort of Your Sofa)
A few years back, hubby and I started the Valentine's Day tradition of ... drumroll ... staying at home. Of course now, with an 18-month-old, it's easier to keep our Valentine's Day date night low key, but long before our baby girl was here, we actually relished in a night in on the sofa. The key . . .

The Perfect Proposal Plan
In just a few days, hubby and I will be celebrating our five-year wedding anniversary. I can't believe we were married five years ago, or that he proposed a little over six years ago. Sometimes it feels just like yesterday, with a baby and so many great memories squeezed in. We met at a mall, . . . Read the Post
Why I Fall In Love Again Every Day
Today is our three year wedding anniversary, and it went by in the blink of an eye. We've been together much longer than that actually: we met when I was sixteen, he was seventeen. We were boyfriend-and-girlfriend weeks after that. There was never any question that we wanted to be together. The . . . Read the Post
Is Brooklyn the New Black?
While in New York back in September, I spoke to so many New Yorkers who swore by ... Brooklyn. Then last week I posted a look at Jenna Lyons' former Park Slope residence, and so many of you confessed that Brooklyn was where it's at. This VOGUE article, Bonjour, Brooklyn: Why New Yorkers Are . . . Read the Post
Date Night on the Couch #TruffleTakeoff
After my week-long marathon through New York Fashion Week a few weeks back, and non-stop work catch-up in the weeks since, my living room, a blanket, a good movie and a magazine and probably my laptop (because yes, I'm one of those crazy multi-taskers: movie, magazine, a little bit of blogging), . . .

Shopping for the Perfect Bed #Choiceisyours
Sometimes we get so focused on making things look pretty (I'm totally to blame here), we forget to consider comfort, functionality, a good night's rest, for example. I've been dreaming up a new comforter, fun pillows, and a brand new look for our new apartment master bedroom, but the truth is, . . . Read the Post
Design: A Pop of Animal Print
I fall in love with my husband a little bit more every day. And a few times each year, mostly at major life events, but sometimes when he says or does just the right thing, I fall in love all over again. And though it may not compare to the tougher times, like when I was really sick and hubby had . . . Read the Post
4th of July No-Bake Cheesecake
I don't normally re-post recipes on this blog; in fact, this is the first recipe I have ever re-posted ... it's that good, and easy, and almost guilt-free. Meet my secret-weapon go-to Summer dessert: the no-bake cheesecake. Plus, with strawberries (or raspberries) and blueberries, it is the perfect . . . Read the Post
Tough Days + Frozen Yogurt
Yesterday was tough. Really tough. I spent the day in the hospital, pretty unexpectedly (I had about two days notice plus a few less than great bloodwork results). I'm okay now, I promise. A bit defeated, maybe a bit more shaken than before, but I'm used to this. I've had a surgery and at least . . . Read the Post

Meet-Cutes at Grand Central Station
A few weeks ago, Grand Central Station celebrated it's one-hundred-year anniversary, and in honor one of my favorite holidays ... Valentine's Day (oh yes, I'm a sucker for pink and red and hearts and sugar ... who isn't?) I thought I'd share the story behind a very special place at Grand Central . . . Read the Post
Valentine’s Day Wedding Cake
I adore everything about Valentine's Day - the colors (red and pink, what's not to love?), the desserts (candy, cakes, and cookies, oh my!), and the outpouring of unabashed love. This cake will probably be the first of many Valentine's-related Glitter Weddings posts, because I'm a total ham for the . . . Read the Post
New Years Resolutions/Goals
I've always sort of loathed new years resolutions, not because I'm against having goals in place, but simply because I think resolutions add too much pressure. We build up so much expectation for this "start" to a new year, when really, they are all just days, days when we could make a change . . . Read the Post
The Working Couple
Hubby and I have found ourselves in the thick of what we like to call "workaholics syndrome". I touched on this here, but I'm curious to know what you all do to combat laptop-glued-to-lap-itis. The story goes a little something like this: Hubby is an eternal Md/PhD student (a.k.a., school is the . . . Read the Post
Good Taste, Great Style: 8 Stylish Picks for A Cool-Weather Date Night
On the heels of our two-year wedding anniversary (it was yesterday!), I thought I'd talk "date night" ... and fashion, of course. I love date night. I know it's nerdy, especially because the hubs and I have been together for eternity (or at least since high school), but there's something about date . . . Read the Post
Mini Weekend Getaway to Maine
Last weekend I managed to surprise the hubby and took him to Maine for an early 30th birthday! Let me tell you, pulling off a secret trip was no easy task. But it was so worth it: the look on his face when he realized what I was up to was priceless. He obviously figured out pretty quickly that . . . Read the Post
Glam Camera Bags + Straps
I've always strived to make things that are somewhat icky or bulky-looking appear more girl-ified. And I know I'm not alone here. I mean, who didn't go crazy with glitter glue pens for the better part of their childhood? The hubby actually bought me this super snazzy (and supposedly user friendly . . . Read the Post

Dear week, you went by in the blink of an eye ... thanks, I think. Dear NYFW and LuckyFABB, you are so freaking close I could scream. I can't believe I am finally going!

Fun Stuff You Learn in Marriage
Today I bring to you part two of the Sony/Glam series featuring Sony's latest film: Hope Springs. Sony asked me to spill the deets about my crazy marriage, so here goes!

Black + Gold Interior Design
I am obsessed with black and gold, whether it's in home and design, fashion, a great pair of shoes, glitzy kitchen wares, you name it, I want it. And though, in truth, I know a home full of black and gold is probably a bit too dark for my taste, these shots of black and gold interiors have me . . . Read the Post
