FALL

Here we are, in the midst of the holiday season and its multitude of glamorous parties, begging our skin to be on its best behavior against the harsh winter weather! It's difficult to confidently choose the right products for you skin, especially when quality products are often an investment. In order to take care of your skin effectively and not add to the trouble, you must consider the facts about what is good for your skin type! Knowing your own skin type is extremely important because different types react differently to products. We wish it were easy to give you one magical lotion or face wash that works for everyone, but we cannot and neither can Sephora. Not to worry, we have some bad behavior, complexion killer solutions to help you "save face" this holiday season!

Attention winos: Millbrook Winery will be having its 21st Annual wine-centric event on October 15th!

You may not be exactly sure why Brittany Murphy giggled and cried uncontrollably over her bowl of noodle soup in “Ramen Girl.” You may be hungry and a bit chilly as the Fall weather hits and can't decide what to do about it. You may be saving up for a seat or two at the Yankee's next game. You may even be an unfortunate combination of all three.

Menchanko Tei is the solution. Just a quick subway trip to one of two midtown locations—one on 45th between Lex and 3rd, the other on 53rd between 5th and 6th—will solve all three dilemmas at once. These two cozy, bustling noodle houses provide diners with a variety of soul-warming, affordable soup options sumptuous enough to make anyone smile (if giggling isn't your style).

Ankle boots or "booties" if you will are back, and cuter than ever! This is a style you won't want to miss out on this Fall.

For summer we had 'Morange' A rich orange/red, which we wore proudly with our Marc by Marc Jacobs color block dress and 70s style strappy Chloe sandals. Now with fall approaching and fashion veering towards a ladylike 1940s, we ask: How do we dress up our lips? The glossy dark pout, appeared on many A/W catwalks from glamorous Gucci to statement making Diana Von Furstenburg.

This coming fall season calls for revamping your makeup essentials: Brushes! Toss those bronzed and shimmer stained brushes and do some shopping this season.

Ladies, we all know keeping your brushes clean, primped, and ready to go is tough to do but before fall comes in it is our duty to brush you up on your brushing skills!

If you are starting to grow tired of the current dubstep fanatacism that has been sweeping the nation, you might be interested in listening to the man who many say is “pioneering the post-dubstep movement,” SBTRKT (pronounced sub-tract). A lot of the dubstep out there has a tendency to quickly become a little over aggressive, filled with heavy distortions and “waa-waa-waa waaaa” inspiring chants. SBTRKT’s creator, Aaron Jerome, on the other hand, takes a more subtle approach to the head nodding beats. SBTRKT has already been a hero on the U.K’s underground electro scene for a couple of years now, but his fame has recently spread across the Atlantic following his well received, self titled album, SBTRKT.

This recipe was indeed created with a cold, autumn night in mind. Preferably spent in front of the fire place, but we'll take what we can get. Originally made with kabocha squash, a few changes were made and butternut squash was subbed in for its prevalence in local grocery stores and farmers markets. Feel free to use your squash of choice, but stay away from the spaghetti variety. Winter squash, like butternut, is one of the more versatile vegetables of the season – use it in lasagnas, soups, soufflés, and add it to baked goods for moisture and a hint of earthy sweetness.

This easy to prepare dish - butternut squash simmered in coconut milk with exotic spices - takes advantage of squash's ability to amplify all manner of flavors and textures. Take it with you as a side-dish for your next dinner party or serve it atop brown rice and a lean protein for a hearty, and healthy, meal. Its creaminess and subtle heat will keep you warm and impress your guests.
