Fall Wish List

posted on : October 7, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 2 Comments
I keep getting asked the question, “what is on your fall wish list?”.   I have spent some time thinking about what I need and how to edit my wardrobe, so I can add some new things to my outfit rotation.  I definitely want a navy dress.  The two below are so chic.  I love the cashmere cocoon sweaters from Calypso as well the some fashionable furs sweaters and vests from Linda Richards.  I am loving that the color wine is in this season, so a blouse would be nice.  And, there is always room in my closet to add some statement jewelry and of course a little leopard.  What’s on your wish list for Fall?  I would love to hear from you, please leave a comment below!!  I will post your suggestions next week!!!!  Cannot wait to hear what you come up with!!

Sometimes incredible talent is literally right under your nose!!  As is the case with this week’s Fashionable Friend Friday!!  My friend Augustina’s Instagram posts are incredible.  Not only is she an amazing cook but her presentation is out of this world.  I am so impressed with the care she takes to provide her family with Michelin Star-worthy meals.  Whether it be breakfast in bed or dinner al fresco on the Patio, Augustina’s is the place to be.  And, if you think the food is amazing you should get to know the company….THE BEST!!!!   Bon Weekend!!





Augustina’s Nicoise:


•Ahi tuna 
Take a pastry brush and paint on olive oil on both sides with salt and pepper 
Then sear in a very HOT pan. 
1 min on each side for rare 
Let cool 
Slice 

Lay on top on a bed of Boston lettuce 
Roasted potatoes 
Hard boiled eggs
Steamed green beans 
Roasted asparagus 
Black pitted olive
Quartered tomatoes. 

champagne vinaigrette:
(Ina Garten) 
1 tsp Dijon 
1 tsp minced garlic
3TBS champagne vinegar
Salt and pepper 
1/2 cup good olive oil 

• if you don’t have time to slowly whisk olive oil into mixture place it all in your blender … Magic 
Double or triple and have it on tap! 

You can add spices, and lemon, honey — adjust to your taste — above is a good start.

Greenwich Wine and Food Festival

Last weekend I was invited to the Greenwich Wine and Food Festival with my friend Monique, Account Director of Serendipity Magazine.  Ever since its launch, I have loved Serendipity, a Westchester and Fairfield county lifestyle magazine.  It was amazing to be able to be their guest at the Wine and Food Festival.  The event took place in the Greenwich Harbor and local restaurants and caterers provided samples of their delicious menus.  It was so nice to be introduced to some new local eateries as well as visit some of our old standbys!
