Feasting at Feast

I have wanted to eat at Feast in the East Village since it opened over two years ago. Feast is a seasonal America restaurant that offers a modern spin on the traditional dinner party. All plates are served family style. You pay a fixed price for a multi-course feast. 

It pays to know the owner, who created a custom Feast for my friend Kwabena's birthday celebration. Kwabena is the best of the best and it was an honor to be amongst his guests to celebrate. 

We started with a sip of Cava and a cheers to the birthday boy. 

The feast began with a salad and soup as well as bread. Simple yet luxurious. 

We watched in amazement as the table quickly filled. Fish, chicken, potatoes, and multiple vegetables including spaghetti squash, brussels sprouts and mushrooms littered our table. We ate until we were stuffed. Incredibly full and blessed. 

It's not a birthday without dessert. This is a butterscotch vanilla custard number that was melt in your mouth delicious. 

Happy Birthday Kwab. Hope it is the best year yet!

Flower Power

The flowers are in bloom. Spring is in the air. New York is ready for a change of season. 

Our first warm day of the new year hit, and I'm pretty sure everyone made it to Central Park. The Frans and I headed out for a lounge in the sun and some over due blog picture taking. When people gather in Central Park it makes the city seem small. I always run into people I know or have not seen in awhile. It is a great place to catch up with old and new friends.

The trees in Central Park have a few weeks of incredible bloom before they turn into lush green for the Summer. It is breathtaking to witness.

I love a Romper. This cotton number from ASOS can be worn casual or dressed up. Do not be intimidated! Rompers are super easy to wear and perfect for those almost summer days. You can simply slip on a light jacket to take you into night. Heals, flats or sandals...it is up to your mood. 

I'm also super excited about my new hair products from Oscar Blandi. For this lazy Saturday curly look, I gave it some poof with their Dry Texture & Volume Spray and Dry Teasing Dust.

Be Brave.

Be Brave. Words that I try to live by. What does it mean to live a "brave" life? I often think about this. Does it mean taking risks, trying new things? Or does it mean forgiving when it is hard to, putting others before yourself, including the left out, choosing love. I want to live a full and brave life whatever that looks like. Each day brings a new set of obstacles and how they are overcome takes different levels of bravery. 

This awesome tee is a great reminder to "Be Brave", it is compliments of the Colour Sisterhood. Colour Conference is happening all over the world the next month. This incredible woman's conference already took place in Australia and is now headed to Europe. What I can't wait for is 2016, when Colour Conference comes to NYC!
