CHAMPAGNE TASTE
A little travel, life and fashion Q&A. I want to answer them ALL.
What is your favorite workout class in NYC?
I gotta be honest, I’ve been BAD lately. I haven’t been working out nearly as much as I used to. I thought I’d love having an Equinox membership, but I’m kinda over it. I miss going to SoulCycle as much as I used to. And I want to try new classes like SLT and Flex Studios. But, I’ll stop complaining. I definitely would say SoulCycle is my favorite workout though. I know SoulCycle is everywhere, but I owe my love for SoulCycle to my favorite instructor ever, Mantas (I’ve written about him and his classes here). So if you find yourself in New York, please please please go see Mantas and take one of his classes!
CHAMPAGNE FINDS
Here’s what I’m loving, buying and eyeing!
Again, haven’t been shopping. Ooops. Kinda my job as a fashion blogger, oh well;) My most recent purchases have to do with a certain event during an upcoming trip I have – any guesses? I know I need to pick up a few more pieces for the actual trip for some shoots, but I haven’t thought that far yet. I leave two weeks from tomorrow, so I probably should get on that.
Clearly failing at this topic today.
Some weekend sales:
- Shopbop. DUH.
- Gilt
- LOFT
- Bloomingdale’s
CHAMPAGNE DAILY
Weekend plans, anyone?
I got a fresh blowout last night…for no reason. I mean, my reason is usually: “I’m shooting” or “I hate washing my own hair”. So actually, there’s always a reason for a blowout. Never mind.
After work, I’m heading up to Westchester to spend the weekend with Matt and his family. I honestly love being up in Westchester. It’s so pretty up there and so easy to get to and from the city. It also doesn’t hurt that my family lives not too far from Matt’s parents. Always a plus. Anyway, tonight we’re going to one of our favorite restaurants, Blue Moon in Bronxville. Cannot wait to have a few margaritas and then go home and go to sleep.
The rest of the weekend is TBD…with the exception of Sunday Football and Curb Your Enthusiasm starts Sunday night!
What are you up to this weekend?

Can’t wait to share more details about my upcoming trip in two weeks! Stay tuned……
CHAMPAGNE LOVIN’
A few of my favorite blog posts (and articles) from this week!
- Two great Fall looks from Blair.
- Love Liz’s Fall bucket list!
- Anna kills it in this casual Fall look.
- I need all of Kendall’s Fall favorites!
i used to love Soul Cycle but I belong to Crunch (although I dont spin there) and one SC class costs the same as TWO MONTHS at crunch, so yeah… also SC is not close to my house at all its like 20 mins away. a new orange theory is about to open right by my house I think I might try that!
Nicole and Chris love Orange Theory. I pay for Equinox and I don’t go as nearly as often as I should…which is why I think I’m going to go back to SoulCycle!
Soul Cycle is the best! I haven’t been in way too long, though. Can’t wait to see where you’re going in a couple of weeks!

I know! It’s honestly the best mental work out too!
I’ve never been to Soul Cycle, but I’ve been wanting to for ages! Oooh I’m so excited to see where you’re going! I was thinking maybe Paris Fashion Week, but I think it may be over come two weeks from now? Regardless, I can’t wait to see where it is!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It’s so much fun, and such a great work out!
I’ll give you a hint…not as cool as Paris 😉 Not international…
I love blowouts! I think I started adding them to my monthly “self care package” because of you. It just is the nicest little treat – my own kind of therapy 😉
Happy weekend, Dana!

Ah I LOVE IT! There’s nothing better than a fresh blowout to kick off the weekend and make you feel good! xx
