Emily Miranda Tangled Cuff, $400.
The above Tangled Cuff from Emily Miranda is simply put, a work of art. Its twists and turns create a one-of-a-kind, mesmerizing maze for the eye. I plan to scoop this baby up right before summer is in full swing, but at $400, this is a chicskate’s ultimate Daily Diamond.
Twisted.
Little cream. Lots of hope.
I’ve got a new favorite nighttime moisturizer, and the only thing stopping me from shouting my love from the rooftops are the freezing temperatures hitting the east coast. It’s from Olay and costs about $20. Their Definity Night Restorative Sleep Cream leaves me looking refreshed and glow-y when I wake up, something that’s not terribly easy to do, considering I wake up at the crack of dawn in the dead of winter.

Nothing but blue skies.
When was the last time you slowed down and took a stroll with a loved one? There’s something so charming and sweet about taking a walk, especially when it can offer lovely views all around. Why not grab a date and go cross a bridge? With loads of walkable options in cities throughout the world, all you need is a pair of shoes! The snap above is from my trek across the Brooklyn Bridge two weeks ago. What a view, huh?

The best piece of Miso and Soy Chilean Sea Bass I ever had was at the Blue Water Grill, here in NYC. The fish tastes like heaven and seems to just melt in your mouth. However, I can not frequent the restaurant as often as I’d like to so I’ve tried to mimic my favorite dish with this recipe, found at AllRecipes.com.
I have to say, after following the recipe to a T, I was able to bring Blue Water Grill style into the comfort of my own home. With my own broiler, I recreated the caramelized crunch and buttery texture I’ve come to love.

The power bootie.
As a kid, I had a few pairs of moccasins that I absolutely adored, but refused to wear them after kids on the playground made fun of me. With restored confidence and renewed sense of style, I’m bringing them back for spring. These ones from Manimal are just what I’ve been looking for – with minimal embellishments and a sweet, basic cord tie – and are made from recycled materials, making them earth-friendly. Just as moccasins should be.
