Sh*t New Yorkers Say

2012-01-19T11:12:00.000-05:00

I know the whole youtube phenomena "Sh*t (fill in the blank) Say" is getting a bit tired, from "Sh*t Girls Say" to "Sh*t Girls say to Gay Guys," BUT I couldn't help myself I had to share this one, "Sh*t New Yorkers Say." Hysterical!

Kate Spade Gloves

2012-01-09T14:17:00.001-05:00

I thought these gloves by Kate Spade were super cute, and perfect for any glamorous woman in your life, don't you think? I feel like it's something Holly Golightly would wear! Things have been unseasonably warm this year in New York, but I fear those days are over.

Hirz Yogurt Photomatic

2012-01-09T13:15:00.000-05:00

Hirz Yogurt. Oh, you've never heard of it? Me either! That is until I showed up on set for a booking and was told I was doing a photomatic for Hirz Yogurt, which happens to be a Swiss yogurt company! It was such a interesting shoot, as the clients were on skype from Switzerland. We live in such a digital world now, it's so amazing that a client can be half way around the world and conduct business as usual with talent in New York City. It seems the overall trend for print and commercials in the past few years has been "ethnically ambiguous," but when it comes to blonde hair and blue eye, I gotchu Switzerland!! :-)

SUS Commercial

2011-11-18T20:13:00.000-05:00

In October I shot a commercial for the organization called Services for the Under Served, directed by Bram Coppens and produced by FixerFilms and JWT. Watch the commercial above and learn some sad and shocking statistics about veterans returning home from war. I was honored to be apart of this project and I hope it's able to bring awareness and help to those that need it.

Warby Parker

2011-11-11T11:20:00.005-05:00

I'm SO excited that my new frames shipped today! I know it's kind of a silly thing to be so excited about, but it's been years since I've bought new frames for myself, AND the price on these are amazing. Only $90 TOTAL for prescription glasses! They're nice enough to give you a $5 discount on your first purchase. I know you're thinging, "It can't really be that cheap!". Oh my friend, but it tis. The amazing Warby Parker is able to offer such low prices by cutting out the middle man, with you purchasing directly from the company. I made an appointment for myself on their website to visit their offices in person, but they also offer the cool feature of "virtual try on" where you up load a photo of yourself and try away! What do you think of my "Sinclair" frames?!

Tweed Blazer

2011-10-31T13:13:00.003-04:00

When the seasons change I can't help but want to get a new seasonal wardrobe. I'm loving this tweed blazer from JCrew. Super cute! I think it'd look fab with a pair of boyfriend jeans, heels, and a strut out the door, don't you?

Speaking of the fall season, I'm looking forward to a fall feast tonight with my husband! Complete with mulled apple cider, squash, and carmel apples! I can hardly wait to get home and be cozy! Do you have anything fun planned for the evening?

I was walking by Rockefeller Center early this morning and spotted a huge fake castle in front of the ice rink. Did you see the Today Show's awesome Halloween Costumes? Check it out here. So fun!

Happy Monday xo

You can say that again...

2011-10-31T10:08:00.000-04:00

We had some unexpected and unseasonably early snow on Saturday here in NYC. I'm just not ready for it! Are you?? I think this Kate Spade winter cap says it all. But then again, can't you always use a vacation? If I feel this way in October, wonder what January will feel like!?

Totally loving these and these from Kate Spade.

Services for the Underserved

2011-10-30T12:14:00.002-04:00

Happy to report that last week I shot a commercial for a great organization called Services for the Underserved. The commercial highlights the realities and sometime devastating results of post traumatic stress disorder. The producer also informed me that a longer version of what we filmed will be at The Cannes Film Festival this year. I'm very proud of the work we did and can't wait to show you the clip when I get a copy!

I also had a call back for a Walmart commercial on Friday or their Black Friday commercials. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Can you believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner?! I'm already thinking about what I can buy my family, and must admit I already purchased my husband's gift! A bit crazy I know, but when you find the perfect gift you have to act! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's gift guides this year, aren't you? xo

Loving this Annie Bag from Ila Handbags! I fell in love with Paula's designs when I was looking for the perfect purse for my wedding, and now I can't get enough! They even featured me on their facebook page, check it out!

Is it too soon to start a Christmas wish list?...... Just checking :-)

Wedding Showers

2011-08-06T14:40:00.007-04:00

We decided to take our photos at the Prospect Park Boat House. Prospect Park will always be a magical place for us and hold amazing memories; we live very near to the park, we got engaged in the Botanical Garden, and we spent our wedding day getting photos there! The Boat House is just so beautiful, and while the rain seemed to put a damper on things, I'm so glad it did! I think it added a great touch to the photos, and our "reveal." We decided to see each other before our ceremony, which eliminated stress and made the run more smoothly. Doing it this way allowed us to go straight from our ceremony to enjoying our guests and getting our dance groove on! What are your feelings on seeing your bride or groom before the wedding? Yay? Nay? This couple had a little bit of both!

Perfect Day NYC

DIY Everywhere!

2011-08-04T10:45:00.009-04:00

Our wedding, like most these days, was on a smaller budget, but it's amazing what you can do with a little creativity and patience. I realized I could cut the cost of flowers by buying the vases in advance. My husband came up with the great idea of using vintage milk bottles instead of traditional vases. (Thanks honey!!) I was able to locate about 15 or so on ebay, and for the remaining 5 vases I used old mason jars we had around the house. Andy at Accent on flowers was wonderful about accommodating my requests and ideas. I wanted a wild flower feel with flowers such as lizianthus, dahlias, button chrysanthemums, and tuberose in a mixture of creams, greens, and pale pinks. I wasn't too particular, and wanted him to use his creative genius. What you see above is a small example of the center pieces for a few tables.

I thought it would be a great idea to have photos of our grandparents on their wedding day on display, along with our vintage suit case for cards, and baby's breath in vintage soda bottles. As you can tell, there was a vintage theme for our wedding! My family was great about getting the photos to me, and my aunt was awesome enough to pick up some simple black frames. Now we have these great photos of our grandparents to decorate our home. We asked our photographer if she could recreate a similar vibe in a few of our wedding day photos and I think she did a great job.

I couldn't resist the opportunity to make little mini me's for the top of our wedding cake. I found these great wooden cake toppers on Etsy. Thankfully they give you a second set in case you mess up your first (which I did.) I'm not a master artist by any means, as you can see, but I had a fun time making them. I thought they added a fun, personal touch to our wedding cake.

Wedding Photo Booth

2011-08-04T10:33:00.009-04:00

I'm guilty! Guilty! Yes, I too took part in the trend known as the wedding photo booth! It's just too darn cute to pass up. I'm sure you've seen on wedding blogs similar booths and props. I crafted guns, mustaches, talk bubbles, boas and more, and left them in the booth along with craft tape, fun pens, and a guest book that was a product of my DIY projects. Folks could take a picture with our Polaroid and leave us a "photo message." Here are just a few! My honey and I snuck in a few for ourselves to remember the day :-)

Kair-ied to a Perfect Day

2011-08-04T10:18:00.007-04:00

While I've been trying to catch up with my life post wedding, I've also been posting on a new blog called A Perfect Day in NYC. In addition to being an actor here in NYC, I also concierge at a hotel in mid-town Manhattan. My co-worker and I share our picks around town and silly adventures while we're not working. My exploits are obviously signed -Kaira :-) Check it out!

All Things Blush

2011-07-31T16:36:00.013-04:00

Since the hustle and bustle of the wedding is over, it's time to share some of my planning and style picks. I know tons of ladies getting hitched in the coming year, and hopefully this will lead you to some great vendors! As some of you may know I'm obsessed with a good Etsy find, and I absolutely loved Lo Boheme's online store. I ordered "Audrey" for my flower hair piece. Lo is so personal and amazing! She allows you to customize the size of the flower, the base color, accent colors, and center of the piece. Not only is it custom tailored to your specifications, she makes three samples and sends photos of each so you can pick your favorite! Talk about service. I'm a major planner (slightly OCD,) so I ordered mine back in December, but keep in mind there is a month turn around to accommodate your personalized piece. A hair piece can't dazzle without the aid of a great hairdo, and I was absolutely thrilled with the way my hair turned out. I used this Kristen Bells side bun as my inspiration. Vilma at Salon Quartier was able to give me something similar to Kristen's do, but totally unique to the essence of our wedding and my personal style. I like to call it Brooklyn Vintage Chic :-p

Again with my obsessive compulsive tendencies, I found my shoes, ohhh about a year before the wedding. But! When you find The Pair (capital T, capital P,) like the man, you just know. I fell in love with these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes on Madison and 68th and had to have em'! The bridesmaid's dresses are a blush color, as is the sash on my dress, so it was only fitting my shoes were too.

The blush theme would not be complete without a blush handbag! Or in this case, "French Coral!" I must admit I was skeptical that the color would match due to the fact that I was purchasing online, and to my wonderful delight it matched PERFECTLY. Like Lo Boheme, Ila Handbags are handmade, so do allow for about a month turn around. It is well worth the wait, you get a lovely personalized bag that you can use for your wedding day and other events throughout the year. In fact I have my eye on this one next!

Sneak Peek!

2011-07-31T14:02:00.010-04:00

Prospect Park Boat House

On our way to Brooklyn!

Making our way to our wedding! Dodging the rain!

It's been a crazy couple of months! Here's a sneak peek of my wedding photos! Didn't Jenn do an awesome job?! I showed her a few photos from my HUSBAND's and my grandparent's wedding days and asked if she could recreate similar photos during our wedding day, and look what she came up with! Jenn usually does documentary photography, and that's why she made such a great wedding photographer; she essentially documented the day as if it were a story. As you can see we had a bit of rain on our wedding day, but I think it made the day memorable, and made for some great photos!

What's the saying? Wedding day showers means you'll be showered with health, wealth and a long marriage? Well that's what I'd like to think anyway :-)

When the Sun Aligns...

2011-06-06T15:43:00.008-04:00

You know when things in your life seem to align and you feel tickled pink? Yeah, I feel that way about loads of things right now. I'm tickled because I've had a good run recording voice over commercials and demos this last month for various clients like Neutrogena and Children's Hospital, and tomorrow I'll be recording a voice over commercial for Wendy's at Phantom Audio! Acting and doing voice overs is so fun, exciting, and everything I've always wanted to do with my life. Not only that, but I have amazing friends, family, live in what I think is the most amazing city around, and I'm about to marry the love of my life. Yeah...things are purty good. I need to remind myself to be thankful everyday for the amazing people and experiences I have in my life, not just when really amazing things happen.

I'm one lucky gal! What are you tickled pink about this month? xo

New York City Wedding

2011-06-06T15:17:00.008-04:00

Shayna and Justin's wedding was not only beautiful and stunning, but it was fun! I was taking a gander at 100 Layer cake this afternoon, and to my surprise I see Shayna and her new husband! Shayna and Justin just so happen to be friends of my fiance and mine, and we were in attendance for the fun fete! Every detail was personal, artistic, and modern New York chic. Check out more of their wedding at 100 Layer Cake, and really great video by You + Me

ps that my fiance and me in the photo booth, upper right hand corner :-) So fun!

Summer hats

2011-05-31T17:14:00.005-04:00

I never fancied myself much of a hat lady, or those foolish moments when I did, I'd wear it for a day and that would be the end of my hat wearing days. But after passing by Jcrew several times over a period of a month and picking up the same hat, I decided it was time for triumphant return of "Kaira the hat wearing lady." I think its so versatile, and looks great with a dress or a sport blazer.

I'm off to the beach for my bachelorette weekend in just two weeks, so I thought I should also rock out the old lady beach hat to protect my milky white, translucent skin. An added bonus to keeping my skin healthy and young looking, it was super reasonable at Target! I love them! Just gotta rock the "I look amazing" attitude. And voila, you will ;-)

Hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend! xo

Great Wedding Hair!

2011-05-27T17:24:00.009-04:00

I have a hair concept covered for my wedding day, buttt I also have to think about all the other weddings I'm going to be in this coming year! I was looking around, but not finding much. Fear not! I am saved! And now you will be too with my amazing discovery. I spotted a link to the great site Hair Romance, via YAMF. Plus these styles look great to try just any ole day, don't you think? I know.... you love me.... well actually Melanie....well actually hair romance.

DIY Project Success!

2011-05-23T14:14:00.007-04:00

I shared some photos from my bridal shower a few weeks ago, and I thought my cousin did such a stellar job on the party favors, I had to share her DIY success! You may have seen this project on Style Me Pretty a few months ago. Everyone loved them and they looked great with the rest of the decor for the party. Aaaaand they traveled all the way from Pittsburgh to NYC intact. Go ahead, say it, tickle you impressed. I know. I love you Christina! Thank you! xxoo

I'm beyond excited to have a full TWO WEEKS away from the city to relax and enjoy vacation with my new Husband. Feels weird to say that... hhhusssssband :-)

Everything was beautiful at the ballet....

2011-05-21T18:46:00.007-04:00

This past Thursday I got a last minute call from a long lost friend of mine I used to dance with at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, oh about 8 years ago. He had an extra ticket to see NYCB and wanted to know if I'd like to join him. You don't have to ask me twice! It was beautiful, fun, and took me back to my days at Pittsburgh Ballet and made me want to jump back in the studio! Maybe Steps on Broadway will have a visit this week :-) There is something so magical and transcendental about the ballet. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and support the ballet! You won't regret it. I promise.

And kuddos to you if you know where the title of this post comes from ;-)

Party Favors

2011-05-14T08:52:00.002-04:00

I think I'm running out of steam with DIY projects for my wedding, but the little Martha Stewart devil on my shoulder says, "go ahead, just one more!" I saw these great little party favors on You Are My Fave. Our wedding falls on the 4th of July weekend so sparklers are perfect! Sparklers rock and who doesn't love confetti? I mean, really.

2011-05-13T20:13:00.006-04:00

The company Minted has been flying around the blogasphere, so I had to check them out. And sure enough, they're pretty darn good at what they do, and cute if I must say so myself. They were awesome with fulfilling my requests, specifications, and giving me a product I was completely happy with. What do you think, do you like my new business card? I'd definitely use them again in the future!

Telegram invites

2011-05-08T10:13:00.004-04:00

While I'm excited to share our wedding invites, I figured I'd keep you in suspense until the big day roles around. Buuuuutttt I will share with you this super fun website I used to make our invites for our rehearsal brunch. It's an old fashion telegram! How cool is that? Since we have a smaller budget for our wedding, we decided a rehearsal brunch would be a perfect way to spend the day before our wedding. And I think the telegrams fit in with the casualness and fun of our brunch, don't you? You can definitely use telegram stop for any fun occasion, even to say "hi -(STOP)"

Latest Obsession... amazing gal pals

2011-05-01T17:42:00.013-04:00

My friend Brittany pulled out her Martha skills with hand dipped mint cookies, and homemade K name tages.

My cousin and MOH was the DIY queen with homemade favors for the ladies to make their own ice cream. Brittany made cupcakes with eatable flowers! And Char provided lovely homemade flower arrangements!

Eat your heart out Princess Kate, because while you may now be a princess, (psssh) and yes the whole world may have had their eyes on your for days on end for your wedding, and okay, okay, you had an Alexander McQueen wedding dress- Whatever, I've got you topped. That's right, I said it. I have the most amazing, caring, loving, out of this world friends and family. Just a couple weeks ago, my bridal party and family threw me a beautiful shower filled with laughs, champagne, delicious food, pretty pink flowers, and most importantly love! We had brunch at this friendly restaurant called Gusto in the West Village. The staff was amazing, and I would highly suggest your next party there! I am one LUCKY lady- thank you!

But alas, I'm going to say it- I've been super busy lately focusing on various projects, and oh yeah, and planning a wedding! Above are some photos from my recent photo session with the ever fabulous Nick Coleman. If you're in quest for the perfect photographer, I can say without a doubt Nick is your man. It's a fun, and most importantly, cooperative process. Not to mention Nick is an actor himself, so he knows what you're looking for. Good deal in my book- Kaira Klueber stamp of approval. BOOM.

2011-02-25T19:41:00.007-05:00

For all my actor friends out there..

"In our kind of work, whether we're actors or writers, the important thing is not fame or glory, not what I used to dream about, but learning how to endure...If I have faith it doesn't hurt so much, and when I think of my calling I'm no longer afraid of life."

Groovy Brooklyn Spot

2011-02-24T15:20:00.006-05:00

I may have mentioned before that my fiance and I have unusual days off, Tuesday and Wednesday. On the upside, it makes for less crowded bars and restaurants, which we love! We went to The Clover Club last night for a few cocktails with my future sister-in-law, and we sat cozy by the fire place for a few hours. Not only do they have great cocktails like the Daisy De Santiago, but we had great crisps served with truffle creme fraiche! Can you say yummm-a-lish!

Recently my fiance and I went to our friend's event in Brooklyn, celebrating her recent win of the title "Next Big Small Brand!" Pretty awesome. Her cookies are deliciously amazing! As I've mentioned before, at our wedding this summer, we're having a cookie table in addition to our dessert. I think her cookies will make a lovely addition to our table, don't you think? Order Sweet Loren's for your next party or just because :-)

"How to Fold a Map?"

2011-02-20T11:07:00.003-05:00

Yes, it's that time again! It's time for a Funny....Sheesh Production! I'm happy to report that I'll be performing in "How to Fold a Map?" this March 8th-13th. You should come check it out! Order your tickets here. It's "a high-speed misguided journey into worlds know and unknown. a myriad of colorful characters meander through three universes: home, work, and surreal fantasy. Tables are turned, nightmares become reality, automated voices animate and soap stars save the planet in this warped program of 20 micro stories, (HTFM) is an electric smorgasbord of depraved fun from the earth to the moon."

You may also remember the hilarious multi-award winning play "Love Me." Whelp, "Love Me" is going to be published in "Plays and Playwrights 2011." How cool is that? Tre cool, that's how cool.

well hello there

2011-02-20T09:54:00.004-05:00

Well hello there friend! It's been a long time. I'm a bad girl. I've been away mostly due to rehearsals and wedding planning! What you see above is a color palette that my awesome long time friend, Vanessa, created for our wedding invitations. Vanessa is an amazing artist and graphic designer based in Pittsburgh, Pa (our home town woot woot!) It's a bit of a secret of exactly what we have up our sleeves, but I will say for now that it is definitely not traditional and reflects who we are as a couple. I like to call our wedding style "Rustic Brooklyn Chic" :-) I'm so excited and can't wait to see Vanessa's final product! What fun have you been up to since I've been on hiatus?

Summer Dreams

2011-01-22T16:24:00.007-05:00

I'm loving these retro inspired bathing suits, and sexy backs. Oh how I wish these cold winter days were gone! I know, I wanted winter early, BUT ONLY FOR THE HOLIDAYS I SWEAR! Even though our wedding is still 160 odd days away, I'm dreaming of myself in one (or two) of these amazing bathing suits for our honeymoon. Do you think if I count sheep it will come any sooner?? Or maybe wish upon a star? Maybe? I know it's become a reoccurring word, but forgive me.... sigh!

Oh, I want....

Gettin' Old

2011-01-20T09:13:00.006-05:00

I have the best girlfriends and husband-to-be a gal could ask for. They made my birthday one of the most memorable yet! Friday night we had a lovely meal in Soho at Peasant. I had the mushroom gnocchi, and more cheese than should be legally allowed. And the ladies were so sweet and surprised me with a cake at the end of the meal! We then departed for a night of dancing in the Lower East Side. Not a shabby way to spend a Friday night; dinner, dancing, and my bestest buds! The following day, my actual birthday, my fiance took me to quite literally the most amazing meal of my life hands down. I know, bold statement! But 100% true. We were at dinner from 5:30-10:30, and devoured everything from the atmosphere, the service, to the absolutely delicious tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park. I urge you, if you have a special occasion to celebrate, make a reservation at EMP! It's a four star restaurant, and three time James Beard winner, and will be one of the most delightful dining experiences you'll have! I can't say enough about this meal. The general manager even took us into the kitchen to observe everyone in action. Behind a small standing table out of the way of the hussle and bussle of the kitchen, they served us cocktails complete with liquid nitrogen sorbet! Le sigh. The perfect weekend! Thank you my loves!! xoxo

The Business of Being Born

2011-01-10T10:39:00.004-05:00

I never really thought about having babies any other way than in a hospital. Have you? Sure, you've heard of the occasional crunchy granola woman, who's a friend of a friend, who had her baby at home in a baby pool. Whelp, my fiance and I recently watched the documentary "The Business of Being Born," and it really brought to light the benefits of having a midwife, which I never really considered. (Oh yeah, and Ricki Lake is in the film) Babies still being a good 4 years away, I'm not a 100% sure of what sort of birthing plan I will want when the day comes, but it certainly raises some questions to think about! Check out the trailer here.

BLACK SWAN - Official HD trailer

2011-01-09T09:41:00.003-05:00

This past week I FINALLY was able to see "Black Swan." My fiance and I promised we'd wait to see it with each other and I couldn't believe it took us so long for our schedules to align. I throughly enjoyed the film, but even more so after the film was over and had time to think about it. I especially enjoyed watching Natalie and Darren's interview on Charlie Rose. The interview brought to light some of the choices made in the film, and their opinions on the dance world. I love watching interviews with Natalie Portman and hearing what she has to say about her acting process and experience. She's been in the film industry for 18 years, and she's only 28! Get it girl. Get it.

Watch Charlie Rose interview here.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-02T09:55:00.006-05:00

Hello my pets! (phrase totally not utilized enough) I've been a rather lazy larry every since Christmas Eve hit. And sshhhh, but it's been AMAZING! The R&R was exactly what the doctor ordered to make me bright eyed and bushy tailed for the New Year. Some rather exciting things happened during the last couple of weeks. Not just one but TWO couples, who are my very dear friends from my Penn State years, got engaged!! I'm so happy and excited for Kaite, Pat, Adrienne, and Jason. I think 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty thrilling year already. It's exciting to think of the possibilities that 2011 holds, aaaand it's my last year as a Klueber! What plans do you have for 2011?

Christmas Treats

2010-12-23T09:41:00.005-05:00

My cousin is one of the most thoughtful and kind people I know. She and I grew up much like sisters. I always have and always will consider her a sibling rather than a cousin. Just a couple weeks ago, I received a lovely package on my door step. Something I hold near and dear to my heart. CHOCOLATE! These marshmallow treats were a little bit of heaven. Thanks Christina! Love you! xo

Merry Christmas

2010-12-19T11:39:00.004-05:00

Okay so it's not the largest tree on the block, but it has a lot of heart :-) I love how it makes the apartment seem so warm and cozy with the glimmer of twinkle lights in the background while you watch holiday movies or read on the couch. I hope all your shopping is done and tucked under the tree, just a a few short days until Christmas! Ho ho ho. What did you ask Santa to bring you?? Last night my fiance and I went on a double date with our friends to see BAM's Hard Nut. It was definitely a new twist on the old classic with modern costuming and updated story line complete with gender bending costumes, partnering dance moves, and men in point shoes at moments. I definitely LOVE all forms of dance and welcome contemporary dance; however, I prefer to see a performance chalk full of dancing. Hard Nut was more about flashy and funny costumes and laughable pantomime/acting. While it is refreshing to see something different and new, I think I prefer good ole George Balanchine's Nutcracker.

German, ja!

2010-12-18T10:12:00.005-05:00

As of late I've been looking up German and Italian wedding traditions as a way for my fiance and me to incorporate our heritage into our wedding day. I have to say one of the funnier German traditions I found is the bride and groom saw the end of a log off immediately following the ceremony to symbolize the first difficult thing they have to work through as a married couple. I laughed at first, but now it sounds kind of fun! Don't you think? Ja vol!

2010-12-17T19:31:00.003-05:00

Of course, while my mother was in town this past week she made me fall in love with the PERFECT holiday dress at Sak's. You know, the kind of perfect holiday dress that you wear to holiday parties with your fiance. Le sigh. Why do you do such things to me mother? Why?

Gadget friendly Gloves

2010-12-13T09:16:00.002-05:00

You're walking down the street in the dead of winter, it's freezing, and your phone rings. Ugh. Then you have to take your hand out of your warm fuzzy glove to answer your touch screen phone. I know you've been there. NOW they have a glove that can eliminate that pesky problem. How cool is that?! Might make a great stocking stuffer this year, or a Christmas gift for yourself!

Around the Inter-web

2010-12-12T13:31:00.003-05:00

Hope everyone is having (had) a great weekend. Mine was complete with afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel with some amazing ladies. (And look who showed up!) And my mom arrives in just a few short hours to spend a few days. I'm excited to do fun holiday things around town. Here are a few goodies from around the web!

My latest guilty pleasure for my subway rides home.

What an amazingly crafty gal! I'd love one (or two!) for my wall.

Just plain cute.

My latest obsession.

A beautiful backyard wedding.

Would make an ab fab addition to any holiday wardrobe.

Dreaming of a few of these! Your thighs will hate you in the New Year.

Too funny!

What a great holiday helper.

Holiday gift ideas...

2010-12-10T16:12:00.009-05:00

These holiday gift ideas would be great for the man in your life who is in love with Brooklyn, enjoys a scotch on the rocks, can make a mean cappuccino and is a rock star in the kitchen. Don't be jealous ladies, I'm really describing my fiance. I know. Hot.

A Charlie Brown Christmas - Christmas Time is Here Song

2010-12-10T16:00:00.004-05:00

I was so thrilled we were going to go get our Christmas Tree just a few nights ago. But, I'm sad to report, we totally got a Charlie Brown Christmas tree! Short and slightly bare. Somehow (I'm not quite sure how) my fiance convinced me that our one bedroom Brooklyn apartment was too small for anything larger. I know, I'm an adult, I'm not supposed to care about such things; but I'm not going to lie, I'm slightly disappointed. Next year, I don't care! I'm getting a full sized tree! Maybe I'll have a change of heart after we decorate it this Sunday with its twinkle lights and ornaments.... and of course all done with a large mug of hot coco.

New Year's Resolutions

2010-12-09T10:59:00.003-05:00

I'm pretty sure a number of you feel exactly how I do this time of year (or really any month in the year) OVERLOAD. Somehow, no matter how hard I try, my google calendar ends up becoming this scary monster that I'm afraid might eat me! I think in the new year my resolution should be to find a spot, even if its a teeny tiny one, for some down time. I'd also like to take more time to take dance classes. I used to train professionally and is something I really miss doing, so I think Steps is in my future for 2011. What are your New Year's resolutions? I'd love to hear!

2010-12-07T17:27:00.003-05:00

I love a DIY project! And for our wedding this July, we wanted to personalize our special day as much as possible. So I set out to get a custom stamp made for a little project I have up my sleeve.

Latest Obsessions

2010-12-06T13:44:00.004-05:00

It's a cold day in New York City today, feeling like it's in the 20s and I spotted a few flurries this morning! Thus, my latest obsession, THE ELECTRIC BLANKET. Yes, the beloved electric blanket probably takes you back to your childhood and memories of your mother telling you not to sit on top or you'll break the coils! fear of leaving it on when you left the house and hoping you weren't the reason your house burnt down, but above all the amazing warmth you felt on those cold winter nights. I haven't had an electric blanket probably since I was 10 years old, and I am now obsessed! Every night I preheat that baby up, and snuggle up for a long winter's nap. hahah okay, go ahead and laugh. I realize what I'm saying sounds a bit absurd and grandma-ish, but I can't help it! I can't wait to go home and snuggie up with my electric blanket and hot coco! What's your latest obsession?!

Amazing Food

2010-12-04T10:11:00.007-05:00

I admit it, I'm not much of a Suzy Homemaker when it comes to making dinner. (I always said I'd marry a man who could cook, and I am!) However, we recently received an early Christmas gift from my cousin, this amazing Ad Hoc cook book by Thomas Keller. It makes me want to strap on an apron and spend the day in the kitchen. Maybe with Thomas Keller's recipes and guides to follow I'll be more successful than in the past! Wish me luck!

ps This would make a great gift for the foodie in your life!

You may be familiar with Rifle Paper Company and all of Anna's wonderous illustrations, as she's plastered all over the inter-web and is several blogger's "frequently visited."

I had a lovely Turkey Day with my family in Pittsburgh, hope yours was amazing too! Here are a few things that Kair-ied me away...

I gobbled up this book during my plane ride to and from Pittsburgh.

We brined our Turkey and then covered it in duck fat, lemons, oranges, rosemary, and thyme!

My friend Rebecca LOVES bacon. I'm sure this will be a hit with her!

Amazing holiday gift wrapping ideas.

I'm in total hibernation mode and wouldn't even need to leave the house to wear this amazing scarf.

Thinking about wedding cakes for our wedding, and these look great! So pretty!

I watched Oprah's favorite things yesterday, and I must admit I was totally jealous of the audience! I guess my chance has passed.

I guess I'm out of the loop, because I had no idea H&M had high fashion designers design a line once a year. Super cool.

Loving the updated design of one of my fave blogs.

Would love to make my house look like something out of here.

TV to die for

2010-11-13T10:19:00.005-05:00

I'm addicted. I can't help myself. It's like a secret rendezvous with my television set, every night I turn on the electric blanket and snuggle up for an episode of Mad Men before hitting the hay. Okay, I admit it, I sound like I'm 85, but it's all so glorious as the nights have grown colder. I'm a tad behind, and jumped on the wagon a few seasons late, but I'm catching up! There is something irresistible about the story line, the ridiculously attractive people, and clothing I love. Do you have a latest obsession? Prey tell.

I can't help it, I know I might be rushing things along a tad, but as soon as the temperature drops my mind floats to being cozy inside with a cup of hot chocolate, Christmas Trees, and Frosty the Snowman. Yesterday I found myself rocking out to Harry Connick Jr. Christmas tunes, and enjoying the glorious return of the eggnog latte at Starbucks! I found this cool site this morning on fun things to enjoy while in New York City during the holidays. Sure, I'm beyond cozy and excited now, but I'm sure come January I'll slip into the winter blues, but for now it's great fun!

Actresses Roundtable

2010-11-08T12:26:00.004-05:00

I was reading the new Hollywood Reporter this past week and came across this great interview with Amy Adams, Hilary Swank, Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, Helena Bonham Carter and Annette Bening. I'm always in awe and have amazing respect for women who can seem to handle it all: a fabulous career, children, marriage, and manage to look fabulous. I loved hearing their fears, how they over came certain doubt that goes through almost every actors mind, and how they balance life. I felt like I was actually sitting at the table with these ladies, and it felt comforting to hear the same thoughts that go through my mind at one point or currently go through their's. To see parts 1 and 2 of the interview watch here, and here.

UGH, so disappointed with Project Runway Finale. I had to DVR it, and only got to watch it last night. I LOVE Mondo, LOVED his clothes, and definitely thought he had it in the bag.

Rose and Thorn

2010-10-28T09:34:00.003-04:00

It's that time of the week again. Rose and thorn. I can't seem to pinpoint my thorn of the week; except to sum it up as a series of not so great incidents...one after another... multiple days in a row. We've all had those kind of weeks, right? The kind where you just sit on a bench and cry and don't quite care who sees you. All those tiny things that appeared to be so major, turned out not to be that big of deal in the end and seemed to melt away when I came home to a smiling fiance and a pristine home. There's something so great about knowing that no matter what happens at the end of the day we have each other. Sometimes a clean home, a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and alil' tv/snuggie time can fix it all. The way I see it, the week can only get better, right?

Have a happy Thursday ;-)

Amazing Theatre

2010-10-25T08:41:00.012-04:00

Last night I attended a City Guide event for NYC Hotel concierge's and had an amazing evening of food and theatre! We had yummy pre-theatre sirloin, cocktails and much more complements of Del Frisco's. Afterwards we were off to The Lyceum to see the new Broadway show "The Scottsboro Boys", officially opening October 31st. The show was absolutely fabulous! What I'm about to say is going to sound odd, but just believe me; the show had this amazing ability to be funny and fun, while telling a very serious and sad story without detracting from the overall gravity of the story. The show is about nine young African American men who were wrongly accused of a crime against two white women, which ultimately lead to rage across the US, sparking the Civil Rights Movement. Told as a minstrel show, these men do an praise worthy performance with standout work (in my opinion) by Joshua Henry and the young Jeremy Gumbs. If you live in the New York Metro area, do yourself a favor and see "Scottsboro Boys", you won't be disappointed!

Ceramic feminine hand

Slightly creepy, but I'm kind of digging this ceramic hand for jewelry storage. I think it'd add some funky style to anyone's vanity. Check out other off beat decorating at Urban.

I just love Kate Spade, it exudes such a fun and carefree spirit. I feel like I'm in a chic, fun, New York City party every time I go into one of their stores. Check out Kate Spades London Pop-up Shop. So cute! I want to be there, don't you?!

Don't these fall soups look so yummy?! I'd love to try my hand at them sometime in the coming weeks. Check out how to make them on Hooray.
