A seat at Blanca has become one of the most coveted in New York. It was awarded its Michelin star six months after opening and named one of America’s Best New Restaurants of 2012 by Bon Appétit. Chef Carlo Mirarchi does a 26 course innovative tasting menu setup that is $180 per person. A dozen chairs are set up for diners to overlook the über-sleek and minimalist kitchen. The dining experience is a highly interactive one where the guests are invited to mingle and interact not only with the food but also with the music. They have their pick of the music on the record player and ability to play DJ with a well curated vinyl collection.

Every year around this time, we see countless commercials that praise and celebrate motherhood. It is also the perfect reminder to participate in the great LA Diaper Drive. This nonprofit organization improves the lives and futures of low-income families through its award-winning model of using diapers as incentive to get parents into parenting, life skills, GED prep, and other life-improving classes. Hats off the wonderful group of moms that volunteer their time and expertise to help other moms in need.
Happy Mother’s Day!

What an incredible designer!

It’s finally December and that means we can officially start listening to Christmas music. There are so many classic Christmas albums we listen to, but this year we are going to blast the newest Christmas album, “This Christmas,” by the one and only “Grease” stars, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Not only do we love this album because we are big Grease fans and it includes the sequel to “You’re the One That I Want,” but it also has appearances by some of our other favorite singers like Barbra Streisand, Toby Bennett, James Taylor and Kenny G. And since it’s the season for giving, when you purchase the album, proceeds go to the two stars’ charities, the Jett Travolta Foundation for children’s disabilities and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia. We are going to slip on our Addison Skinny jeans in Nightwatch while listening to this new album and channel our inner Sandra Dee!
Preview the album on Amazon.com!
