Today’s Book Club Monday is The French Wardrobe: A Mystery Crime Thriller, by A.R. Shaw. It is definitely a cannot put down white knuckle book. And, we all love those. The plot has many twists and turns. Here is the story:
Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is artist Simone Kestelman. Simone is an internationally acclaimed multi media artist focusing on ceramics, glass, and photography. She has over 30 years experience in the art field and most recently moved her gallery from Brazil to right here in White Plains, NY. Simone has shown her work throughout out the world in such places as Greece, Brazil and the US. Her mantra is to step beyond traditional imagery and sculpture.
“I think art is the physical expression of our souls at a point in time. I put my feelings and aspirations into my art. Having a living art gallery enables me continuously record my inner state, while also having the freedom to reinvent myself. “-Simone Kestelman
There is going to be a fabulous opening cocktail party where Simone will be hosting a discussion and presenting her works on June 9th from 6-9. Please RSVP gruyich@hotmail.com. If you cannot make this amazing evening, there will be an open house on June 10th from 11-3pm. Please stop by!!! For more information on Simone or the gallery, click HERE.

It’s time to starting thinking of making mom breakfast in bed. I found this recipe and I think it is just perfect. Creme Brulee French Toast. It sounds so yummy and the perfect decadent treat for mom’s special day!

1 c milk
1/2 c heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch kosher salt
1 stick melted butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c maple syrup
1 loaf challah bread
confectioner’s sugar
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar and maple syrup. Pour mixture into a large tall baking dish and spread into an even layer using a spatula. Arrange bread on top in a single layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour mixture over bread. If you have time, cover and let soak in refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight. Otherwise, bake for about 25 minutes, or until the the butter-sugar mixture is bubbling in the bottom of the pan.
- Serve immediately, sugar side up. Sift powdered sugar on top if desired.
“IT” thing right now. Big, Bold, and Sculptural
that is what these earrings are. They come in all
shapes and sizes and are replacing the gold hoop
on smart stylish women this Spring and Summer. I
love the pairs from Annie Costello Brown. I ordered
mine from Net A Porter and they were delivered

time for mom’s big day!!!!
So mother’s day is only 5 days away! If you are still at a loss for ideas for yourself or the moms around you…I’ve got you covered..Here are some of my favorite things for Mother’s Day 2017!!!
I have to say this is probably one of the best items I have purchased this year….And, I am buying one for my mom this mother’s day. I have tried every steamer on the market over the years, and nothing comes close to this amazing hand held device. This Conair turbo steamer is amazing. For more information or to order, click HERE.
I recently received a fabulous monthly subscription from White Brick Lane of uplifting, inspiring prints. Your first month arrives with a bamboo holder and your first print. Each month a new print with another special message arrives at your door, for you to display. It has become my new favorite thing. Who does not need a little inspiration? This is perfect for mom and while you are at it, grab one for yourself!!!! https://www.whitebricklane.com
I am addicted to the Rodan and Fields Micro Dermabrasion paste. It is amazing and after you use it just once and you will see and feel a difference on your skin. This is a must for mom!! To order click HERE.
I started seeing these earrings pop up on many Instagram fashionistas so I had to get more info. These Lisi Lerch earrings are incredible…the are so light and the perfect length. Plus they come in a rainbow of colors to enhance any of mom’s outfits!! http://www.lisilerch.com
One of the best treatments I have tried in a long time is Cryofacial. It is only 10 minutes long but the results are amazing. It immediately leaves your skin looking refreshed and glowing. Mention NS Lifestyle’s Blog for a special price of $25!!! for mom. http://freeze914.com.
