Indochine owner Jean- Marc Houmard threw a huge and wild 30th Anniversary party for the legendary restaurant that has seen it all. From countless celebrities to many fashion week after parties, many of which I attended, this restaurant never fails to deliver on its fantastic vibe and cuisine that has not diminished over time, as it can and has happened to many restaurants that have lasted this long. Indochine is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC of all time! Guests at the anniversary bash included John Varvatos, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, MAC Cosmetics founder John Demsey, The Blonds, Salman Rushdie, Robert Verdi, and Athena Calderone |

Last week Eddie Bauer opened a brand new Pop up show in NYC, the first time since 2007 that the company has had a presence in Manhattan. The outdoor, active wear enthusiasts market is thriving and Eddie Bauer is part of the trend. The line this season is younger, triendier, but still has that quality and construction we expect from the brand. |

I love a good Mexican Restaurant but in my experience, I have not been to one recently in my neighborhood of Yorkville that gave Mexican food justice. However, that changed recently when Epazote opened.  The “Los Taquitos” , mine was the De Ternera Bohemia ($14) made with veal cheek and braised in beer, Poblado peppers, cilantro and sweet onions was delicious and a must have.  Our main course was the “Polo Con Mole” ($24) which was very flavorful and the mole sauce was fantastic. It consisted of roasted chicken skin and all, bathed in homemade mole sauce served with a side of spinach souffle, a touch of France.  Epazote has a good dessert menu that offers way more than traditional flan which is usually the case in a Mexican restaurant. We were offered a Gala Apple Crumb Tart ($9) with jalapeño chocolate ice cream and Homemade churos ($7) served with Mexican abuelita chocolate sauce. For more info and the complete menu please visit Epazote |

The Clarks Spring/ Summer Preview for 2015 gave us a peak into how this traditional comfort footwear company has recently transformed into a forward looking modern sleek shoe brand. From the design of the heels to the soft leather and buckle details with a few retro 70’s platforms included in the collection this spring will be a good one for Clarks. There will always be staples such as the desert mountain boots for both men and women and a kids and babies collection that is super cute and well made. |

Old school fanny packs are anti-fashion as we know it, even though they are attempting a comeback now. However, recently I discovered these fashionable and functional hip bands that are well designed to fit your phone, keys, etc. and are not at all bulky. They come in different widths and colors depending on whether you want to use them while you run or just feeling like being handsfree for the day. Runners have testified that they actually stay in place and not bounce around. I like the fact that they are pretty seamless and not really visible under clothes. The reversible ones are my favorites because you get two hip bands in one. For more info or to shop visit http://www.hipssister.com |
