Brought to you by nightlife veterans Matt Abramcyk and Serge Becker (Beatrice Inn, La Esquina) the Latin American inspired lounge Super Linda has opened its doors. Complete with horse-racing paraphernalia this Tribeca eatery (chef John Martinez) is stocked with countless beers from South American Countries, and, of course, one of our sipping staples — margaritas.

This weekend (Feb. 26) Los Angeles will hold the 84th Annual Academy Awards — and what an impeccable excuse to plan for some R&R out west. We’ve scooped the scene and find ourselves intrigued by one particular (new) spot: Palihouse. The chic two-story inn displays an idyllic European vibe with 32 guest rooms all enhanced with custom furniture and vintage novelties. Located on Melrose Avenue, Pailhouse, gets us — a lush lobby perfectly equipped for lounging between events and mini-bars stocked with Dean & Deluca goodies. Aaah…

We’re turning on the charm and that means batting our eyes in all the right directions — thick, defined lashes are sure to do the trick.

We cherish any opportunity to dress in theme and would not dare limit ourselves to merely the evening hours. Valentine’s Day as our inspiration, we paired note-worthy beauty finds that are sure captivate love — morning through night.

Emily Schuman of the well-known Cupcakes and Cashmere blog has announced her partnership with Estée Lauder; the blogger will provide posts for esteelauder.com as the beauty brand’s social media and digital guest editor — starting Monday.

In honor of the new duo and festivities ahead (the 2012 Super Bowl that is), we thought to feature one of Schuman’s most recent (and adorable) posts; Super Bowl Snack: Brownie Burgers.

Enjoy — and may the best team win!

While in Park City for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival we scouted Flight Boutique on Main street; the trendy shop would soon become our hub for have-to-haves and the cure for all things forgotten. From Elizabeth & James and Diane von Furstenberg to locally crafted accessories, the petite boutique sized up quite nicely when compared to some of our usual go-to spots nestled within Manhattan — and did we mention, an upstairs dedicated solely to sale items (especially rewarding when measured as souvenirs)! The most impressive sight was the bottomless mimosas that loomed only two doors down — in fact, shopping under the influence is encouraged. Cheers.
