The next broadway show on my list is Come From Away. I have heard that it is so good and a definite must see this season. Here is the story in case you did not hear!!!!
Come From Away won the Tony for Best Direction in a Musical. It tells the amazing story of how thousands of travelers were grounded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in a tiny Canadian town and how they were heartwarmingly cared for.
On 9/11 38 planes with 6,579 passengers landed and were stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. The story tells of the camaraderie of how the townspeople opened their homes and hearts and hosted this international community of strangers, which basically doubled their population!
I love this Easy Orange Chicken recipe. I will increase the recipe and serve it with toothpicks and bring it to a Fourth of July party. However, it is also great served over rice for dinner. Either way, it is a total crowd pleaser!!!!
I am absolutely in love with these pearl embellished slides. I love all the colors. These looks adorable with white jeans but I have also paired mine with a cute off the shoulder dress. For more information, click HERE.

I absolutely LOVE Spanish espadrilles. These have to be my best find so far. They come in a bunch of colors and are a must have for the summer. Click HERE for more information.
I love long lashes but I have never had luck with having false eyelashes applied. I was so allergic to the glue that I found it so painful but I did love the look. However, I am persistent and kept trying. I recently found some options for lush, long lashes that you will LOVE.
I went to a salon (well a casual salon) to have mink eyelash extensions applied and it was a huge success. The process is long but they seat you in a very comfy chair and it became painless. Really…no allergic reaction and I love the result. If you are local the salon is called Angel Tips and it is in Stamford, CT (it is a chain so there might be one near you, if you are out of the area). And, you are in luck…there is a Groupon for almost $50 off the first application. Click HERE for more information.
Maybe you don’t feel like sitting for an hour to have the eyelashes applied or the maintenance is too much for you (you need to have them refilled about every 3 weeks). Well, I have the most incredible option for you…..One Two Cosmetics Magnetic Lashes. I ordered these and they are really amazing. I will admit, it takes some practice to get them just right. I watched every youtube video out there, on this product, but they are super easy to apply (once you get the hang of it) and look really great.
This week’s Book Club Monday is an awesome fun beach read. It is The Assistants by Camille Perri. I read that this book has been called “addictive”, “funny” and “smart”. Here is the story:
Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is local Rye mom Susanne Carroll. Susanne comes to the rescue to some many of us who stare daily into our closets choc full of clothes and cannot find anything to wear!!! She helps to tackle the job of cleaning out your closet, which she swears is the first step in making getting dressed easy. At your first meeting with Susanne, you will talk about your lifestyle, different wardrobe needs, style and color preference. Then she goes to work!! She really aims to rejuvenate her client’s current wardrobe by putting outfits together with what she already owns. She suggests pieces to add and most often, Susanne explains, that it is only a few pieces that “can open up a whole new wardrobe”. She also will shop with you in store and online! She started working with another local mom, Susie Johnson and this dynamic duo are conquering closets all over Westchester County with their incredible fashion sense.
Lastly, you might just want to know what happens to all these discarded clothes and treasures!! Well, stay tuned…Susanne and Susie are going to have curated online consignment sales and seasonal pop-ups. I CANNOT wait!!! To contact Susanne to set up your own closet refresh, click HERE.
