Eat: Todd English Food Hall

Every time Restaurant Week rolls around in NYC I'm anxious to cross a new place off of my infamous list. This year it was the TODD ENGLISH FOOD HALL in the one and only Plaza Hotel, which was well worth the trip. The menu consisted of a shrimp cobb taco, lobster hush puppies, goat cheese with beet sauce ravioli and a crispy eggplant flatbread. While the food was absolutely delicious it was nice to just wander around and check out what else was there (Luke's Lobster anyone?). I'll be making a trip back very soon.

Make: Banana Streusel Muffins


I found the recipe for these Banana Streusel Muffins from HOW SWEET IT IS last week and was dying to make them since then. So a long weekend and a day off from work (wahoo!) made Monday the perfect occasion to give them a try.

Brand Love: Emerson Fry


I can't remember how I originally came across EMERSON FRY, (perhaps it was the gorgeous models whose pictures take over Pinterest or the fact that every fashion blogger is a fan?), but since stumbling upon the brand it has become one that I love and look forward to seeing what new looks and pieces arrive with each season. This year's fall preview is no exception. Models are all perfectly layered and clad in large coats (so comfy!) and slick boots with patterns kept to a minimum. I'm also loving the studded belt OVER the coat as seen above. Give the looks a peek below and get inspired for fall.

Interior Inspired: Organized Office Space

IMAGE FOUND VIA
This office was one of the first images I pinned years ago and I still find myself drawn to it. It mixes both materials and finishes perfectly and, most of all, it's functional with lots of storage. Baskets are just one of the ways I love to organize in my apartment, as they keep all of your crap stuff hidden while still looking appealing to the eye. Check out how I recreated the look below.
