Last week I took my nephews to see the Star Wars costume exhibit at the Discovery Museum in Times Square. On display were over 70 of the actual costumes used in the Star Wars movies, including the amazing C3PO, R2D2, Darth Vader, Yoda and sooo many more. I have to say that it totally rivals anything I have seen at the MET!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, you HAVE to go. Anyone who has grown up seeing the movies, young and old, will be amazed by what is on display!!!! I must admit that it is one of the BEST exhibits I have ever seen!!!! May the Force Be With You!!!!!!
This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is a Skin Genius!!! Julie Pipolo of Skin Westchester, a licensed Aesthetician with over 30 years of experience, is the bomb in skincare. I have been going to her religiously for the past 5+ years. I never miss or cancel. I have been known to keep my appointment despite being under the weather and asking Julie to put on a face mask to block the germs. That is how addicted I am!!!! Julie keeps up on the latest and greatest treatments. In fact, she offers most services BEFORE your own dermatologist. I have been known to interview specialists that recommend new treatments that Julie has offered for a while. I have to say she has changed my life. She is truly brilliant. Bon Weekend!!!!

With June beginning, I am still working on my outdoor space. I’ve decided to turn to Target and check out what they have to offer. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. How great are these outdoor items? So chic yet so cost effective!!! Happy Shopping!!!
We decided to try Black Tap in the meatpacking district of NYC for my daughter’s bday. Black Tap is known for its amazing craft burgers, sides and outrageous shakes. The only downfall is that there is usually a long wait to get in. They don’t take reservations so it is first come first serve. We waited 2 hours!!!!! But, it was certainly worth it. Despite the wait, Black Top is still insanely popular and definitely one of the hottest restaurants in NYC right now!!!
I love the look of the off the shoulder tops. I am definitely planning on jumping on this trend. Right now I am focusing on the solids but there could be a print or embroidered number in my future. They look is so carefree but really pulled together. I love how it is accessorized below with armfuls of bracelets. Happy Shopping!!!!
Happy Memorial Day!! We remember those who sacrificed so much to serve us today. It is also a day to spend time with friends and family and celebrate the official beginning of the summer! Today we are having the first of many BBQs. I recently discovered chimichurri sauce on flank steak at Wholefoods (but that is for another post). It is so delicious but I searched and searched for an easy all-American dessert that we could make over and over again for all our summer guests……AND, I think this is it……WAIT FOR IT…….Ice Cream Sandwich Cake. You are going to love it. Happy BBQ!!!!!
