{ The Mango Spring Collection preview }

Just as I was gearing up to start that pre-holiday season diet, I end up eating my way through the week. This week started with a ridiculously delicious pasta with two of my favorite ladies from StyleOwner followed by buckets of ricotta cheese at Locanda Verde for a charity event, and last night a bunch of my friends and I gathered for a “family dinner” with a homemade meal of short ribs, potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a cheese plate c/o yours truly. And it doesn’t stop there; one of my best friends is moving to Long Island to live with her boyfriend in the next couple of weeks, so tonight we’re celebrating with a delicious meal and perhaps a little karaoke if we’re feeling up to it.

Diet starts…when?
