STOLI TIME
Posted by Persiana | Filed under Food + Drink
This warmer than usual winter has left me craving the delicious cocktails we had at the KARIN+RAOUL TASTE issue launch party. Stoli Vodka shared their recipes below. It is a Stoli Choco Raz Martini kind of day for me…it’s 5pm somewhere, right?

ETTA JAMES
Posted by Persiana | Filed under Music
I first heard an Etta James song about six years ago. I had just moved into an apartment share in Chelsea and I remember marveling at the album cover of that undeniably tenacious girl with platinum hair and feline eyes. It was a cold yet sunny February afternoon and her voice filled the apartment with such emotion, pain and power that it left me breathless.
Over the years, her songs have been my accomplices in times of great happiness and sorrow – always reminding me to stay authentic and strong. Today, hundreds of family, friends and fans gather in Los Angeles to remember and celebrate her. She was a gift to us all and her legacy will stay strong.

STK
Posted by Persiana | Filed under Food + Drink
Last week, we had our launch party at one of the event rooms at STK – a venue so sexy that it made my wearing 4” stilettos in the rain totally worth it. After having many a deliciously crafted cocktail as I socialized with the KARIN+RAOUL guests, I managed to sneak away to the main dining room and join my friends for dinner.
I was pleased to find out that the cuisine and service themselves matched the sexy but not stuffy decor. Our party of six ordered lavishly and our waitress, a striking redhead, was friendly and attentive. Prices for main courses start at $22 and go up to $79, and each side dish is $11, so this restaurant is not for the faint at heart….or wallet. We bit the bullet and ordered large; each dish proved to be more delicious than the first and I have to say it was completely worth it. A week later, I cannot help but reminisce about the steak with a topping of fois grass and the mac & cheese.
The photos for their ad are taken by none other than our very own Karin – enjoy!
