Little Black Dress

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

A little black dress will forever be a classic staple in any wardrobe.  It simply never goes out of style and there are so many fun, on-trend ways to modernize the look.  You may say I’ve been on a bit of a LBD kick lately (to put it lightly) so I thought why not share some of my current fave finds with you!  Bonus: Most of these are insanely affordable on Rent the Runway.  So get ready to follow along and find your favorite holiday garb for the upcoming season… Read more

Italy – all the goodness?

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

I told everyone I would come back from Italy 10 lbs heavier…and I may have reached my goal 😉
Tons of pizza, focaccia bread, caprese, pasta, wine, fish, gelato and desserts…Oh and how can I forget…countless cappuccinos! I must’ve averaged 3 per day. But when in Rome!  Read below for our favorite stops in each city.

Rome:
Papa Rex – Known for their fish. Close proximity to the Vatican. Definitely a great spot after the Vatican (minus the tourists). Read more

Gelato class

Italy 

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC
As most of you know I recently returned from a 9-day tour of Italy.  There aren’t sufficient words to describe this country, but I will tell you it was a borderline life-changing experience!  Since it seems to be on most people’s bucket lists (and I am ready to go again anytime) I thought I’d let you in on all the details of where we went, what we ate and drank, the landmarks we visited, and more!

Eataly in Flatiron District

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC
If you haven’t had an opportunity to visit Eataly in Flatiron District I can’t recommend enough that you take advantage this summer.  Part market, part café, part restaurant…and several of each at that…there’s truly something for everyone and every palate.  If you love fresh, high-quality food, cheeses, baked goods, chocolates, coffee, and wine, you’ll want to pull up a chair and never leave.  Not only that, they host tons of classes and events, and yes, they cater!

VIIcode

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

One downfall of travel, birthday celebrations, and All. The. Things. is the resulting tired, puffy eyes.  With my hectic schedule lately, I was feeling the effects (even in the form of dark circles, which are rarely an issue for me) and it was a perfect time to test out some new products from VIIcode.

Bergdorf’s Afternoon Tea

Posted on by Li & Me in NYC

When you don’t live close to your mom, you appreciate her in a whole new way.  Liam was so excited to have his grandmother in town and, to be honest, so was I!  We always fit in a girl’s shopping day when she comes to town and this visit was no exception.  To start, we donned our best hats and headed out to high tea at Bergdorf’s.
