When guests step into the lobby of Rusacks St. Andrews Hotel, they’re met with a space that feels exactly like one would expect a resort at one of the world’s greatest golf courses to feel. There’s an ornate fireplace, leather-bound books, dark-paneled walls, and posh furnishings that scream “Scottish manor house.” The property’s signature restaurant,…
Note: If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted since March 9, we just returned from an amazing week-and-a-half in Scotland and Ireland. I’ll be sharing several of my favorite spots from our latest trip over the next few weeks, but we’re diving in with a space that tops my list — 18 at Rusacks…
If you’re an Indianapolis local on social media lately, you’ve probably seen something about Antilogy. This new Indy-area restaurant has been making waves on Instagram, with diners who visited during its opening week raving about their overall experience.

If you were to ask my husband and me our favorite shots, I would hands-down say Woodford Reserve and he would immediately answer Don Julio. So it should come as no surprise that as soon as I found out about Agave & Rye’s newest location — it’s first in Indianapolis — I knew I had…
Over the weekend, the “Princess Squad” and I indulged in a little bit of retail therapy at The Fashion Mall.

I love Paris. It’s no surprise if you know me. I took nine years of French throughout junior high, high school, and college, and Coco Chanel has been one of my style icons practically since I was old enough to walk. In fact, one of my core memories is my first visit to Closerie de…
There’s nothing I love more than a night out, except maybe a night out that makes me feel like I’ve magically traveled back 100 years to the 1920s. Fortunately, thanks to the wildly under-appreciated Art Deco scene in Indianapolis, there’s no shortage of fabulous options when you’re craving a vintage-inspired evening on the town in…
Indianapolis is home to the first union station in the world. The original building opened on September 20, 1853, with a larger Richardsonian Romanesque station designed by Pittsburgh architect Thomas Rodd opening in September 1888. The head house — main lobby — and clock tower from the second building still stand today in downtown Indy….
Although a piece of my heart will permanently reside in Manhattan, and I physically reside in Indiana, I find myself on the West Coast every few months for one reason or another. During my latest trip to Newport Beach, my husband surprised me with a dinner reservation at 21 Oceanfront, a spot we’d never tried…
If you’re anything like me, you spent your childhood dressing up as an adventurous Princess who explored enchanted forests every day and went home to a fabulously-decorated palace at night.
