Apres Ski is the Best Part

Happy Friday! It is crazy to me that my three year anniversary of living in Europe is coming up and I have still not been skiing on this continent!  Granted the last year was a bit of wash but still, it is definitely something quite high on my European bucket list.  And while getting on the slopes this season is wishful thinking I am already mentally planning ahead to next Winter!Until then, I might just have to apres ski, without the ski.  It has been a few years since I bought a lift ticket but sadly, I recall not looking attractive on the slopes - for me it is about warmth and comfort over fashion but after?  That's the time to show your style!  Skiing is all about layers and this J. Crew sweatshirt is perfect for the lodge, all I need is a cup of hot cocoa or perhaps a cheeky ...

Testing Out Drugstore Eye Makeup Removers

If you follow me on Instagram you have seen selfies and boomerangs of my black tears on stories but it's not because I am sad.  I often workout in the evening and rarely take off my makeup before so a good sweat leads to makeup running down my face.  And sometimes a good sweat, shower, and scrub still does not get it all of my waterproof mascara and eyeliner off.  Enter makeup wipes!  I have been a fan of these for years and have written about them many times. And until last month I thought my trusty wipes were getting all the makeup off but getting a white silk pillow case  proved me wrong.I then went down an Internet rabbit hole to find the best option to make sure ever speck of black was removed before bed.  Dozens of highly reviewed options came up but between what products are ...

Blair Eadie Atlantic Pacific - Green Outfit with David Yurman

The Queen of Monochrome

Have you ever had the experience when someone says ten years ago you think back to the days of boy bands and hair gel when really ten years ago was 2011?  This happens to me quite frequently and most recently when I was putting together this post.  I knew I had featured the fabulous Blair Eadie as one of my Style Icons in the past but if I had to guess, I would have said three or four years ago.  Turns out it was eight!  However, I still love her and her wardrobe as much today as I did when I first did that feature.As a New Yorker the default assumption would be that a fashion blogger from this city loves black or neutral looks but Blair is the exact opposite.  Just scrolling through the homepage of her blog,  Atlantic-Pacific you can see she is a big fan of color.  And yes, I know she ...

Sparkles and Shoes Valentines Day 2021 with Red Wine

My Favorite Wine Accessories

It is no secret I am a fan of wine and this year I scoffed at the idea of dry January.  Not because a reset wouldn't be great but because I love wine and think it is a great way to wind down ant the end of the day.  Not everyday, but a few days a week.  And on those days unlike some others, I do not treat it is a bottle a night - one glass is just fine but for that vino, I have been collecting a number of gadgets to make my vino experience better.  Today I wanted to share with you my ten favorite wine accessories:1 | Silicone Wine Stopper. - This list has my preferred stoppers for whites, reds, and bubbles but I have found that silicone stoppers really do work best for whites in the fridge.  I have tried a number of rainbow options and found that the Houdini Silicone Stoppers from ...
