BrunchCritic.com Launch Party

Remember Brunch Critic, the site founded by my friend Andrea that I wrote about the other week? On Saturday, March 5, they're having a launch party at gastropub Park Avenue Tavern that will include a selection of fabulous brunch dishes, as well as unlimited mimosas, Bloody Marys, and cocktails.

I know, it sounds like a terrible time.

Here's the good news: I have access to a limited number of invites, so if you're around on March 5 and would like to come by the event to say hi and grab some brunch & Bloodys, shoot me an email (jordan@shealuna.co) and we'll see what we can do to make it happen!

And if you're in the NYC area, don't forget to check out Brunch Critic to find some brunch inspiration for this weekend. You can search by neighborhood or by mood, ask the community for suggestions, or check out Brunch Critic's top picks in categories from Notable Pancakes to If You're Still In The Same Clothes From Last Night.

Dean & Deluca Favor Inspiration

For crystallized flowers, make sure that you buy organic blooms that haven't been treated with pesticides or anything else iffy. Remove anything potentially sharp or, you know, alive (like bugs)...

Affordable & Adorable In Union Square / La Carbonara

I've passed this restaurant about a zillion times (you probably have, too), but have never gone in because the exterior says "totally average Italian place where I will be forced to order Caprese because I can find nothing more exciting on the menu, and because Caprese is always good."

In-Studio Segment with Jenn Fadal

This was my first time hosting an in-studio interview (as opposed to working in a studio by myself, as I did for the Betty Crocker segments), so it was a little different...and very exciting for me.

Pieces Of Coterie

My first stop at the trade show (at Javitz Center Feb 20-22): the Obvious Clothing booth (to say hi to Francesca). You know how I have a bit of a thing for visible bras? Well, I just about died over this one (pictured above with an off-the-shoulder Obvious top).

Persian blue was all over the place at Coterie. I especially loved this piece from Sky, which would be adorable as a day-to-night bathing suit cover-up.
