I look forward to seeing the fashion presentation from Adam Lippes each season since he shows at home with beautiful flower arrangements from Putnam and Putnam.

Awards Season starts in full force tonight with the Golden Globes. I’ve seen a few of the films and performances nominated which makes me more excited to see who wins.
