Market Table Brunching

I love when I can squeeze in a proper brunch on a Sunday. After church at HillsongNYC, my Fran Hannah and I headed to Market Table in the West Village. I was pleasantly surprised by this new dining experience. It was an excellent recommendation and I can not wait to head back for dinner. The cuisine is very seasonal American, farm to table. 




Nestled into a cozy corner, we sipped on coffee and tea to warm up and chatted about life, love and the future. 



After much deliberation, I decided on the Lentils, Kale, & Braised Ham Hock. It was topped with a red wine poached egg meurette. I was a bit freaked out by the color, but the taste was wonderful. 



They have a variety of unique vegetable sides. I opted for the Baked and Sliced Sweet Potato covered with brown sugar, sage and a mini roasted bok choy. 



This deliciousness is the Orange Blossom French Toast. It is smothered with blackberry sauce, almond butter and vanilla cream. 



With Han preparing for her wedding and living back on Long Island for a few months, time with her is so precious. It was wonderful to have some girl time with one of my best frans. I'm so excited for what's to come for her over the next few months!

Restaurants are getting more and more creative about how they deliver the check. Market Table slips the bill in a journal which dinners are encouraged to write about their experience. It was fun to read what others wrote and leave my mark.



Bon Appetit!

Shower With Love - Hannah's Bridal Shower

Last weekend I got to celebrate one of my very BEST Frans. She was "showered" with love and amazing gifts. The many woman who showed up are a testament to the incredible person she is. I doubled as Bridesmaid and Photographer for the day. Here are some snapshots from the celebration. 


















The BEST Frans a girl could ask for. 


Welcome to the family Bryan.

Urban Cowgirl

Some things I love about winter:

1. Hats
2. Chunky Scarves
3. Layering

On, what I think was our last mild winter day, I decided to combine all three of these. This outfit can be easily replicated in a variety of ways. I love mixing and matching long sleeve shirts (collared or without), sweaters and statement accessories for a variety of casual yet fabulous looks. 



Many people think they can't wear hats. The great news is that EVERYONE can rock a hat, they just have to find the right shape and fit. Personally, I enjoy a fedora shaped hat...the larger the brim the better. But there are tons of varieties out there to choose from. Great places to start include Brixton, Urban Outfitters, and Goorin Bros. A great patterned scarf can liven and warm up an outfit. I picked this beauty up last year, but fell in love with a ton at Zara and H&M this season. It is colder than ever out now, make sure to pick one up!
