Real Style: Classic Black Cape

What I Wore // Hat: MINT via Urban Outfitters // Cape: NY & Co. // Top: H&M // Jeans: Forever21 // Bag: H&M (old) // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target // Rings: H&M // Bracelet: Balenciaga // Polish: Maybelline, “Green with Envy” 

This weather is killing me. Yes, I love my capes, but I need some sun and warm weather stat. These past few weeks I’ve been trying to incorporate a bit of color into each look. These Prabal for Target heels are beyond perfect for just that. I’ve been keeping my looks simple in this weather, so this style has been my go to. We have so many new projects coming up and travels upon us, can’t wait to share it all! C likes to call this my “Indie” look, as in Indiana Jones..love how guys make comparisons.

Entertaining: St. Patrick’s Day Party

Thursday morning I shared a few of my favorite St. Patrick’s Day entertaining tips with our friends at The CW’s Winging It! Buffalo Style. Seeing as St. Patty’s Day is more of a “going out” holiday, I kept things simple. We’re in Buffalo for the festivities and if you didn’t know, Buffalo has one of the largest parades in town. Naturally, everyone wakes up early throws on their green and heads to their first party of the day. These entertaining tips suffice for a little pre-parade action with a DIY photo booth, “Irish Gold” recipe and funky straws. View the segment here.

A special thank you to our friends from Party HQ for the festive straws & DIY photo booth accessories!

We partnered with Southern Comfort to create this delicious recipe, unlike your typical green concoction. Find the recipe here for the “Irish Gold,” also featured in the latest issue of Buffalo Magazine!

Happy St. Patrick’s Weekend!

Entertaining: Irish Gold Cocktail

{Photo c/o Michael Majewski for Buffalo Magazine}

“The Irish Gold”

2 parts Southern Comfort
2 parts ginger ale
Splash of orange juice
Orange twist garnish
Ice

Prep:
Using a shaker, pour your Southern Comfort and ginger ale first, top off with a splash of orange juice, pour and garnish with an orange twist.

I’m so excited to share my St. Patrick’s Day cocktail, the “Irish Gold” as seen in my first entertaining column for Buffalo Magazine. Seeing as C & I have our own PR firm, it’s always a bit different when you see yourself publicized as opposed to a client. My next column releases March 25th, so stay tuned!

I wanted to change things up a bit, so instead of green beer, I came up with this gold recipe. A special thank you to Southern Comfort for sponsoring this delicious libation – Cheers!

Real Style: Sorry I’m Fresh

{Our office space is the third brownstone down}

What I Wore// Leather jacket: American Rag // Button down: Converse for Target // Jeans: Forever 21 // Boots: Steve Madden (I’ve had these since my sophomore year of college. I can’t part) // Hat: New Era Cap // Bag: Vania and David c/o

C & I recently went for a stroll around the new office neighborhood. I was in a dress-down mood, so I through my hair up in this fantastic New Era cap and through on my all time favorite boots. We’ll be in the Allentown area of Buffalo. A super cute neighborhood filled of amazing restaurants, bars, people watching and only a few blocks away from The Elmwood Village (with tons of shopping!). If you can’t tell, we’re a bit excited.
