I’m headed off to Miami – can’t wait, it’s one of my absolute favorite spots to travel. Here’s “what’s in my bag”… As you can tell I’m a lover of whites, creams, and neutrals, but I couldn’t resist the vibrant DVF jumpsuit! And, if you are late to the TokyoMilk game, their lotions are luscious and every scent is divine. And, anything Tom Ford is just perfect.

Dinner in New York

When we’re in the city, we’re usually running from meeting to meeting, or photo shoots, sourcing stuff for upcoming events, etc but I really try to squeeze in time to check out a new restaurant.

This time I hit ABC Cocina– the Jean Georges spot inside ABC Carpet & Home. I helped work on Jean Georges’ wedding years ago, so I’m a big fan!

My highlights from the menu were:

unnamed

The raw shaved brussels sprouts salad, with vermont shepherd cheese and marcona almonds (I’ve always loved brussels sprouts, and these were divine!!). Also, the charred octopus with smoked paprika creme fraiche and guajillo vinaigrette, and the maitake mushrooms with goat cheese, fresno pepper vinaigrette.

Next time you are in the City, you must check it out!

A Very Charleston Christmas

B1-Russell-House-front

With Christmas just around the corner, we thought we would share some of our favorite holiday things to do in Charleston, that always put us in a festive spirit! (Image above from Travel & Leisure)

charleston-grill

For starters, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Charleston Grill at Charleston Place where they are having a special event called “Bubbles and Bites” through January 3rd. You get to sample three top-of-the-line champagnes along with beautiful food parings in a stunning setting while listening to live jazz music. You can’t go wrong!

While you’re at Charleston Place, make sure to stop by the Christmas Trains in the lobby. My kids look forward to it every year, and the hot cocoa can’t be beat. (Image from Hidden Charleston)

Winter Carnival 2009sm

The next stop on our list would have to be the Festival Lights at the James Island County Park. It’s another great option for children, but fun for adults too and features over 700 displays and 2 million lights.

And of course it isn’t Christmas without a little last minute shopping on King Street. We love seeing how our favorite stores decorate their windows for the holidays, and having all of the shops so close together makes it easy to get a lot of gifts out of the way quickly! (Image source)

For stocking stuffers, you can’t beat ESD in Mount Pleasant. The owner, Muffie, has curated the best selection of beautiful frames and tabletop pieces that make great, smaller gifts. (Image from Charleston Grit)

smith street pop up

Last but not least, make sure to stop by the Smith Street Pop Up Shop located at 27 Smith Street, featuring local designers, and open daily through December 24. It’s a perfect place to pick up a unique gift, or even a little something for yourself. I love getting new pajamas to wear on Christmas morning, so I can’t wait to buy some from Tink + Tiger!

Happy Holidays from the Soirée team!
