Farewell to Madmen

I am a little bit in a funk today now that Madmen is officially over.  I loved the show so much.  The fashions, the sets, the going back in time.  Everything was perfection.  I must admit I did love the ending.  Here is one last look at the Madmen style.  I love that they put so many vintage treasures and mid century modern pieces back in vogue, especially all the barware.  Good bye to seven amazing seasons of glamour and style!!!

Farewell to Madmen

Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s fashionable Friend friday is Rita Fusaro, owner of Rita Fusaro antiques.  She is a high end antique dealer that scours the globe for beautiful finds to sell in at Harborview Antiques in Stamford, Ct.  Recently I met Rita at Harborview and she showed me around her vignettes.  Rita is also going to hold a complementary antiques information session for our readers.  She will walk us through her gorgeous inventory and tell us about her unique items.  If you are interested please email nicole@thesteinthals.com and we will set up a mutually agreeable time for our group!  In the meanwhile, enjoy our online tour of Rita Fusaro Antiques.


We All Need A Health Advisor

I recently met Health Advisor, Nina Cheigh.  Nina works with her clients to discuss their overall health with respect to diet, exercise, sleep habits, stress management, medications and vitamins.  She has a 10 day plan which I am currently learning about and will be posting shortly.  In the meanwhile, Nina gave us an awesome healthy yet delicious smoothie to try at home.  You can learn more and follow Nina on Facebook HERE.

Wish List Wednesday


Since Memorial Day just around the corner, more time will be spent in the sun during the next few months.  I am looking for a stylish straw hat that I can wear to the beach.  When you are wearing a hat your face has more protection than sunscreen alone!  Hats off to you and safe sunning!

Girlfriend Tip

I love following other blogs and getting all types of tips, fashion or otherwise.  I recently started following Kristin Takeman, of The Real Housewives of New York City’s BLOG.  She has a great elegant, yet carefree style.  I love how she pairs this simple white shift dress with pointed bow flats.  A very easy put-together summer look.  I have included some similar options of the same look below, so we can all be as well turned out as Kristin!

Turks and Caicos

Last week I was lucky enough to travel to Turks and Caicos to visit Club Med coordinated by Cappy Devlin of CAPPY’S TRAVEL.   T&C is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world so, needless to say, I had always wanted to go there and dip my foot in the gorgeous turquoise water.  The sand is so white and pristine and conch shells can be found all over the beach.  Club Med, a french company, is an all inclusive resort so all you have to do is sit back, relax and let the GO’s (gentil organisateurs) take over and provide you with a fabulous time.  Below are some highlights of our trip.    Of course, I always have my readers on my mind so I brought back a souvenir for you, a one of a kind shell flower necklace.  All you have to do to enter this give a way is tell us in the comments below, what you consider the most wonderful get a away.  Good Luck!!!
