Gold & Pink Ring

 I cannot resist writing about Jennifer Miller jewelry twice in one week! I have been seeking a pretty silver chain link bracelet for a while and snagged one from their sale section.

The pieces are eclectic and pretty- perfect for building out your personal collection. This over sized gold plated oval ring is high on my wish list. While Carole Raziwill is my favorite New York Housewife, I must admit Aviva Drescher is bang on with her jewelry choices.

Effen Cucumber Cocktail

My husband brought me home a bottle of Effen Cucumber Vodka last week. I thought it might be fantastic for a Bloody Mary, but was craving something a bit more refreshing last night. I rummaged around the kitchen and created what I'm dubbing the Cucumber Citrus Refresher:

2 oz Effen Cucumber (pre-chilled in freezer)
2 oz Club Soda
1/2 Lemon
1 tsp Agave Nectar
3-4 Ice Cubes

Squeeze lemon into a shaker, add agave, ice and vodka. Shake. Pour into a glass, add soda, stir.

Humans of New York








I'm completely absorbed in Humans of New York. Created by photographer Brandon Stanton, the project is focused on creating a photographic census of New York City. He set out to take 10,000 portraits of the city's inhabitants. The funny thing is, I recognize a number of the folks featured. Even in a city of over 8 million, the world feels small:)
