Covered in Caviar: Petrossian NYC

In a city congested with french cuisine, the Petrossian offers a menu that cannot be found elsewhere in New York. Chef Richard Farnabe has mastered the art of complimenting untraditional flavors to create a harmony of taste. I find myself craving caviar marshmallow as I write this; a sentence I never thought I would form. Everyone from the Kardashians to Martha Stewart is a fan of Petrossian Caviar. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity to review their new…

Hey, Cool Girl.

Hey Girl, Timing your texts: Normal. Asking friends for advice: Normal. Strategically planning run-ins: Normal. Look, nobody is going to judge you for stalking yourself on social media before sending a friend/follow request to the person you're interested in. It's totally okay to ask your friend for advice on how to respond to a text that doesn't quite ask a question.  When you first like something, it's normal to get a little obsessive.  I was referring to my boyfriend as "my boyfriend" before our second…

Spring Shopping: Guided

Call your mom because you're going to need someone to braid your hair. Spring 2016, it's fem-chic. Sporty spice from last season should continue to be overdressed, but keep it at the gym. Back are the days where more is more. Bless Gucci, they started this. Congrats on surviving winter 2k16 but tbh it wasn't that hard. First shopping trip: Blouses, blazers, ballet flats. Choose your colors for the season, choose your fabrics for the weather. Just because it's 70 in…

Your Weekend Outfit #Goal

I'm not one of those people who uses their body as an excuse not to pull off certain trends. I've got boobs, a very normal sized butt, and hips that occasionally lie. There are some fashion trends that I have no interest in going the extra-mile to pull off. Babydoll dresses? I'll just sit this one out. Maxi dresses? You think I'm going to get something I paid $19 for tailored?  But... on many occasions I'm going to go try my best…

According to Mack: Fashion in 2016

I'm back to myself. Posting at obscure hours, because I just don't care. Hey peeps. Now that i'm living in New York and kinda getting used to it, I think it's time to share my ~fashion predictions~ for the year. Usually I write this article in January. I was busy or maybe just lazy. Anyways, last year my predictions were pretty damn good. If you care to see the results, check the bottom of the page. Anyways, Colors: Black, white,…

Closing Time: 4am

Friends, family, and rando-subscribers I love dearly, One year ago I was 10000% certain that I would be in California at this given moment. I'm not, as you may have guessed, I'm in Marshfield, MA at my Dad's office organizing my student loan information.  One year ago I was straight chillin' living the life of single girl swag and going on dates strictly for free dinner. Why try? I was moving across the country! In June I met Ben. Who…

The Ultimate Scene Queen Playlist

Age 14, Circa 2007.  Bullhead jeans, a hello kitty graphic t-shirt, and checkered Vans. In my prime I wore blue eyeliner and plastic bows in my hair. I knew I was hot based on how many people commented on my Myspace pictures. I turned the volume on my iPod loud enough for everyone to hear that I listened to HXC music. To be honest, my taste hasn't changed much. I don't have side-bangs, but I take more mirror pictures than ever.…

Intro to “it” Bloggers

A surprising question I often hear friends and acquaintances is who they should be following on social media. Of course there are about a million account i'd like to recommend, but people usually freak when you go on a following spree. So, I figured I'd start you out with a few. See how you like it, and then we can always go back for seconds?   -Chiara ferragni- the celeblogger Many consider Milan-based Chiara Ferragni to be the most famous fashion blogger…

You Match: Yeah, We Planned It

Fashion question: is it cool to wear matching outfits? MK + A have been saying yes since the days of Olsen & Olsen Mystery Agency. These are the geniuses behind Elizabeth & James as well as The Row. I think they're probably on to something. I mean, they knew the homeless look was cool long before Free People rose to popularity. Then Fashion week happened. Caroline Vreeland and Shea Marie of PeaceLoveShea wore these matching VEDA jackets. Suddenly I wanted to match…
