Deck the ... {Christmas Tree}

This year we again have two Christmas trees, one in the living room and one in the sunroom. 

The living room tree is quite traditional in the colors red, green, gold, and silver. I adore the gold mesh light covers we found a few years ago at Dunn & Sonnier on Magazine Street.

Here are some of my most favorite ornaments donning the tree:

Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!

Deck the ... {Family}

I'm not sure that title is the best, but I'll go for it anyway.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

Every Thanksgiving we gather somewhere for a photo. This year we spent Thanksgiving at my sister's beautiful home. Cheese!

Cheers, y'all!

Eating {and Drinking through NYC}

J and I traveled to NYC last weekend for our annual excursion to catch the sights and sounds of the city. We literally ate and drank our way through NYC. I have said it before, and I will say it again, "there is no better place than NYC at Christmas time."

Lunch

Lexington Brass: Sleek-but-casual bistro offering up hearty New American fare & creative cocktails.

Snack/Cocktail

Palette at Bergdorf Goodman: Housed in the basement of Bergdorf Goodman's, Ashley Longshore's art makes a bold statement.

Dinner

The Polo Bar: Handsome American restaurant by designer Ralph Lauren, serving classic dishes, bar bites & drinks. Guests dining were Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa, David Muir (ABC News), and Candace Bergen (Yes! Murphy Brown). I am always star struck!

Lunch

Amaranth Restaurant: Mediterranean fare & a European-style social scene in a busy bistro off Madison Avenue.

Dinner

Majorelle: Place for elegant French fare with a Moroccan touch in The Lowell hotel, with a bar & skylit garden.

Drinks

Jacques: Cocktail bar in The Lowell serving high-end drinks & small plates in a Moroccan-accented space.

Brunch

Tavern on the Green: Restored Central Park icon for American fare in an elegant setting with courtyard & garden seating.

Eating & Drinking, y'all!
