Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of my absolute favorite pasta dishes. This sauce gets its unique flavor from a combination of chili flake, black pepper and Guanciale, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl. I like to buy my Italian specialty ingredients from A. Litteri, but feel free to substitute […]
This past weekend I decided to take a trip down to the National Harbor for dinner. The Old Hickory Steakhouse has a new February menu and they wanted us to preview the new dishes and wine pairings. As a DC local, I have sadly not spent much time in the National […]
The Screen Actors Guild Awards or “SAG’s” were this weekend and the red carpet looks were BOLD! Part of me is excited that actors are taking risks and part of me is distraught that THESE were some of the risks they took! When I told you that the Golden Globes were a sign of […]
You may still be adjusting to work after an intense weekend, but the silver lining of this odd time is that it’s award season! The Golden Globes were on TV and there was so much good red carpet FASHION! You guys, I am so impressed. Rare are the moments that I end […]
The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards were this weekend and the blue carpet was full of fashion. The big winner of the night was the new musical La La Land, but not all of the style choices were as successful. Here is a look at the biggest hits and misses of the […]

from the archives… The first Thanksgiving I can really remember was typically anticlimactic. My dad had to work, his girlfriend was on a diet where carbs were declared the anti-Christ, and I had just lost my Gameboy privileges for neglecting to feed my goldfish (RIP Gilbert). After a day spent […]
From the archives, original post appeared October 18, 2016 Halloween is right around the corner. If you are like me, you have already begun prepping to hand out candy scare the pants off your family and trick-or-treaters this Halloween. Why not bring that fear to the best people to prank […]
As Fashion Week season continues, the next stop on the fashion marathon is London! London Fashion Week is a much smaller affair than its predecessor New York Fashion Week. There are far less shows (around 60 runway shows compared to New York’s 200). The big London based brands are always present, […]
September is upon us and that means Fashion Week for the Spring 2017 collections in New York, London, Milan and Paris! To kick off this style marathon the first stop was New York City. Now that the tents have come down and the couture dust has settled, I wanted to […]
In case you missed it, the 68th Annual Emmy’s were on ABC Sunday night. Although I do enjoy awards season, I basically just watch for the dreamy designer clothes. For those of you who did not tune into the festivities, I have highlighted my best dressed, worst dressed and biggest trends […]

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your favorite mom-and-pop shop, sometimes an upscale dinner atmosphere is simply needed.
