I’m very excited to be traveling to Peru next week to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Peruvian Connection. I consider myself very lucky that the tall, dark and handsome Latin man I’ve been dating, who speaks fluent Spanish, is able to join me on this trip to South America. We make each other laugh […]

I thought today was going to be a good day and then men started jackhammering outside my building and my wifi decided to go on the fritz. I feel like I either need a do-over or a vacation. Right now, I’m going to pretend I’m on the French Riviera in the perfect world of Ralph […]

While I was reading the Tory Burch Blog, I saw that they photographed their Spring/Summer 2016 Look Book at Fustic House in Barbados. The gorgeous 17th-century sugar plantation was renovated by designer Oliver Messel in the 1970’s and is now available to rent for a Caribbean holiday.  On first view, the exterior looks like a house you […]

I just got back from Paris last night. I have jet lag and my bags are still not unpacked so of course I’m already thinking about where I want to go next. I saw photos of the new Palazzo Dama hotel in Rome on Instagram and in the new Elle Decoration France while I was […]

According to social media, it seemed like everyone was staying at La Reserve Hotel for fashion week. Just as I put it on my must visit list, I saw that my Instagram friend David Leppan was also staying at the chic hotel. When he suggested tea, I immediately agreed to come to him to check it out. […]

As I start my second week in Paris, I thought update you on what I’ve been doing so far.  The weather has been a bit temperamental so I spent a lot of my first few days trying to run errands and shopping in between rain and snow showers. I’ve attended a few gorgeous fashion shows […]

As I mentioned earlier, I’m off to Paris tonight for fashion week and a bit of holiday. I look forward to seeing old friends and new as well as all my favorite museums and sights.  I also look forward to taking advantage of the low Euro to do a little shopping. You can follow all […]

I received a frantic email from my friend Decorno (who really should start blogging again) today asking me if I heard about a J.K. Place hotel opening in Malibu.  Turns out that the iconic hotel group is setting up an experience J.K. Place Malibu for one week only, March 12-19, 2016 from 6:00-9:00pm. The website says, “Please […]

Before I head off on my next trip, I thought it might be a good idea to finally recap my two week trip to Italy last autumn which includes some of the things I wore along the way. I started  off in Milan for fashion week and then traveled on to Venice, Rome, and Florence before […]

I am very excited to be traveling to sunny and warm California today. I’m starting off in Los Angeles for a few days. The last time I was in LA was three years ago. It rained that entire trip and I think I was so traumatized that I haven’t been back since. I’m really looking […]

Nothing could ever deter me from visiting Paris so I’m already planning my next trip to the City of Light for fashion week in March 2016. I’ll probably rent an apartment with friends again but if I wasn’t, I would definitely consider the Hotel Providence from Pierre Moussié. I appreciate traditionally decorated hotels in Paris and this […]

I would like to think I’m a good person to speak on traveling and hotels considering that I’ve stayed in five different hotels in the last six weeks. But I was still flattered that Yahoo Travel asked me to contribute my two cents to their article How to Make Your Hotel Feel More Like Home. One of […]

I feel like I’ve just gotten over my jet lag from Italy and now I’m off to Paris with Chanel to help celebrate 10 years of Sublimage, a seminal moment in Chanel Skincare history. I’ve used Sublimage off and on over the years but religiously for the past six weeks. I can honestly say that my skin […]

One of the best places I visited in Milan, Pasticceria Marchesi just opened during fashion week but has actually been around since 1824. The historic Milanese pastry shop was recently bought by Prada and in addition to the original landmark location at Via Santa Maria alla Porta, 11a, they have opened a new pastel colored jewel box at the fashionable Via […]

After being unplugged for a few days, I’m back in business in Florence. Before I highlight a few of the things I’ve done so far, I do want to address my last post. I think there comes a time on every traveler’s journey where they lose their “stuff” so to speak.  My time came in Rome. […]

I arrived in Rome this afternoon but wish I had gone straight to Florence. The Hotel Locarno has turned out to be a huge disappointment. I will never stay here again. There is barely any wifi and I can’t get any work accomplished and no one really seems cares. This will teach me never to go […]

Buongiorno from Venice! I apologize for a lack of post yesterday but the wifi in our hotel isn’t working. Normale. I’ll try to write a post from the high speed train to Rome on Friday or after I arrive in the Eternal City. In the meantime, I suggest you follow along on Instagram where I’l be […]
