Although we'd like to pretend that our lives call for wearing bustiers and garters every night, the reality is we typically stick to teddys and babydolls...on a good night (wink). In honor of Victoria's Secret's amazing fashion show last night, here are a few of the sexy go-to's we love.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We both escaped the city for the holiday and it reminded us of how much we love living in this town (despite our shrinking wallets!) . Here's a playlist dedicated to good 'ol NYC:

• Cat Power | New York
• LCD Soundsystem | New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down
• Blind Pilot | New York
• Norah Jones | New York City
• John Mayer | City Love
• Santigold | L.E.S Artists
• Vampire Weekend | M79
• Lady Gaga | Marry the Night
• Ray LaMontagne | New York City is Killing Me

What are your favorite NY tunes?

Many girls probably woke up today praying they'd be able to burn all of those Thanksgiving calories in time for the holiday party season.  Our solution: you don't have to.  The sweetheart top, empire waisted dress is a god send.  Notice any other consistent trends in the outfits we pulled together?  

Leopard print is everywhere. 

It's all about studs and glitz.

Faux fur is the real deal. 

Always look for a pop of color.

We are incredibly blessed and have so much to be thankful for.  Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! xoxo

friendsgiving

We attended our friend's annual Friendsgiving feast this past Sunday, so much fun!  There's no better way to kick off the holidays than a potluck with awesome friends.  Our Brussels Sprouts Gratin and Apple Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping and Brown Sugar Glaze were definitely a hit. If you need a last minute recipe for Thanksgiving, give these easy recipes a try.

saturday stroll

 
Nothing beats a beautiful fall day in NYC.  

This weekend we took advantage of the gorgeous weather to walk around Soho. First stop, we couldn't resist the stacks of delicious cookies at Vesuvio Bakery.  Next up, the conveniently parked Van Leeuwen's ice cream truck for a spicy cup of Mexican hot chocolate. And we finished up the day with good company and great selection of cocktails @ The Dutch.

We highly recommend ALL of the above!

Years ago, I received a gold plated bracelet engraved with lyrics from a beautiful Stevie Wonder song. Since then, I've been obsessed with all things engraved.  Adding a personal message to any accessory turns a simple gift into a truly special one.  Perfect for the holidays.
