    • The White Party in East Hampton

    July 11th, 2011

    This past Saturday I hosted a White Party at our house in East Hampton to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was a delightfully chic way to host an evening soiree around the pool. We hung white lanterns and required a strictly white dress code.

    We served tequila lime chicken skewers and watermelon and feta salad.

    Guests sipped on refreshing champagne and elderflower cocktails and enjoyed the warm summer evening.

    Red velvet cake pops dipped in white chocolate were the perfect way to end the delightful evening.

    Tonight is the MET’s Rooftop Party for Young Members. I have a new gown, a hot date, and my best girls attending. I couldn’t be more excited!

    The whole museum is going to be open just for a select group to enjoy all the exhibits (including the Costume Institute’s Alexander McQueen!) and for us to get our groove on wherever we please.

    I promise to take lots of photos and report back.xx

    Happy 4th from NYC

    We spent a fabulous weekend with great friends in East Hampton and then came back into the city to watch the firework show from our rooftop.

    Bridal Shower Inspiration – Dylan Lauren

    June 29th, 2011

    Nothing other than confections would be appropriate for the the sweets mogul Dylan Lauren’s bridal shower.

    Can you believe that these are candy?! So much chicer than the version that I was wearing in the third grade.

    Crazy fabulous!

    And of course a candy crown. Totally gorgeous and tasty!x

    2 Years of Wedded Bliss

    June 28th, 2011

    Yesterday the Mister and I celebrated 2 years of wedded bliss. He showered me with flowers and jewelry and everything sweet.

    We spent the day lounging by the pool in East Hampton and then went out to for a lovely dinner at the famous Nick & Toni’s.

    We ended our fabulous meal with the “tarfufo” which was filled with caramel.

    Happy Anniversary to my Mister!x

    Dinner at Per Se

    June 26th, 2011

    You know that it is going to be a spectacular experience before you even walk through the front doors.

    Per Se is nestled on one of the top floors of the Time Warner Building in Columbus Circle.

    Here is the view. The Mister was looking particularly dapper that evening.

    The meal started off with a delightful Spring pea soup with pockets of creme fraiche.

    Next came some delicious vegetable cubes. I believe they were composed of leeks.

    Then the buttered lobster on parsnip puree. Divine!

    And then the beef….

    And then the pork….

    Then a savory cheese with cherries…

    And then the dessert courses…A sweet berry trifle with crystallized fruit.

    A banana themed tasting…

    A chocolate caramel tasting…

    And more…truffle and macarons and caramels..oh my!

    The final serving was semi-freddo with homemade donuts.

    I actually went to Per Se a few weeks ago and I’M STILL FULL!
