With the 4th of July weekend behind us, summer is in full force and (if this weekend’s weather was any indication) the temperature is only going to rise. While sitting indoors with the air conditioner cranked up to capacity may be an easy solution, it’s impossible–and almost silly–to spend your entire summer inside. Check out these rooftop pools for a quick, cool getaway from the city’s upcoming heat waves.

This may have been one of the busiest months by far for me in New…
I am thrilled to announce the one year anniversary of The {New York} Life! What I’ve been able to share with you over the last year has been both fun and moving. The greatest reward though has been the opportunity to develop incredible relationships with amazing, inspiring friends that have enriched my career and have given me an insider’s view on all the different ways people express life in Manhattan – with their homes, through food, with fitness, in being mommies. I am so grateful to live in this amazing city that has always had so many doors of opportunity for growth for me.
It was an honor to be part of this month’s AVENUE Magazine! If you don’t know AVENUE yet, it’s a must-read among the city’s most stylish and savvy audiences. By celebrating the blend of affluence and influence…
Being a city mommy has its own challenges and rewards. There are days I claim a “total success” when I can drop my kids off to school, pick them up and do homework with them and contribute towards playtime while negotiating deals for my clients and showing the hottest properties in the city, and fit in a workout. However, not every day is the perfect city mommy or real estate life day…
Spend your snow day in Manhattan sledding with the kids at one of these parks, known for their sledding hills in winter, or take the family (or a date!) ice skating at the Standard Hotel rink. Meeting the girls? Sip afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel.
Here’s a quick guide to the best things to do when it’s snowy in New York!
It’s fall in New York, and that statement comes with an automatic sensory overload. Art openings (check back Monday for my choice of must-see exhibit), the most perfect walks on the High-Line, the best fashion to be had in the city, and an outpouring of new restaurants to expand your tastes! This fall, I am thrilled to see the new batch of great restaurants opening their doors and feeding our bellies (and, for we foodies, our souls).
August and September are my favorite months to shop – when all the new fall styles hit the stores. Nothing makes me happier than a new leather jacket, a classic Chanel bag (a must-have for every girl’s wardrobe), some fresh tees and skinny pants. Then of course I top it all off with some stand-out jewelry, whether some stacked bracelets or a memorable necklace. There’s something so inspiring about fall fashion; the edge, the layering, the mystery…
Besides being really passionate for real estate, another one of my big loves in life is fashion. This quote by Gianni Versace sums it up: “Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” One of my absolute favorite designers is Isabel Marant, largely in part because her line is both fashionable and practical.
I hope you’re all back into the swing of things after the long weekend! We…
