I hope you all had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. I’m still trudging through a few deadlines but before continuing with my stories from Rome, how about we take a brief fashion break! While la...
A few entries ago I wrote about leaving the H boutique empty-handed, disheartened. When retail therapy doesn’t work, I destress with food therapy. Besides, it’d be a sin to blog about Rom...
New York has the Statue of Liberty; Paris, the Eiffel Tower; and Rome…il Colosseo. The Colosseum is a massive amphitheater that could seat up to 75,000 people. On the sunny day that I visited i...
I’ve not fallen off the face of this continent. Just have been in transit. And judging from my title I’m sure you’ve guessed I’ve made it to the Eternal City, where I haven...
Good news is that work is going pretty great on this European trip. Bad news is that it involves a lot of work, evil eating, and little time for anything else. And ya, I’m that annoying person ...
I’ve been in Europe for over a week now, lugging my herbal tea pouches (to be taken 3x a day along with the 12 herbal horse pills) from place to place: Knock on wood, but so far I’ve not ...
So for the 4/18 Club meeting this year, we all convened at Lil A’s parents’ new apartment for the weekend and for a Princess-themed party. The best surprise was having the third member of...
Birthdays make great excuses to pig out, and this year was no exception. I had some rather fabulous hand-made shrimp raviolis, but let’s face it, today’s short entry is really all about f...
So it’s another year for the 4/18 Club but I’m not reporting about our annual meeting till later this week when I see Lil A for her third (where has the time gone!) birthday. Instead, tod...
Are you tired of seeing my mug here all the time lately? I am, too, but preparing for a protracted upcoming trip has made it a bit challenging to blog too frequently these days, so these ODJs have be...
It’s no secret to you dear readers that one of my all time favorite handbag styles is the Chanel 2.55 flap. I adore it in all sizes and finishes… Is it about the secret compartments and h...
Sometimes a bag can be so special people literally run into you just to get a closer look. The dark silver “lucky charms” flap of mine from many seasons ago is a case in point. It’s...
I just recently saw a 60 Minutes segment on facial recognition blindness and wondered if I didn’t have a mild form of it myself. Or maybe it’s just selective blindness when I don’t ...
You know what they say about everything being big in Texas. Case in point is this big (and by big I mean 48,000 sq ft) mansion that’s been listed for a few years now and finally going up on the...
Before I could even unpack my Marni for H&M loot from the last trip, the DVF for GapKids collaboration rolled around. Due to some success with the fit of the Stella McCartney for GapKids line, th...
Last year for St. Patrick’s Day I featured one of my most treasured bags, which happens to be green and reptilian. This year, I’m adding a new “reissue” tote in an earthy shad...
So after sorting through the Marni for H&M loot over the weekend, I was only able to keep a few pieces that actually fit properly (the polka dotted jackets and tees). This led to a lot of self-k...
The night before the launching of Marni for H+M I had an anxiety dream. I saw myself dashing into the store and grabbing a bunch of items, but by the time I reached the cashier, I realized that they ...
I watch a lot of (bad) reality TV. But with the onslaught of this type of programming, even I have to be selective. So if it’s travel, music, fashion, cooking, or real estate related, it’...
What’s green, has a hand size of about 5 meters across, and stands tirelessly on a pedestal? I guess the title of today’s entry already gave away the answer, eh? It’s been about 15 ...
We had some great sweater/boots weather in LA this week (as you can see in these recent ODJs) and then we’re heading into the 80s this weekend. It’s probably safe to say that we bypassed ...
Photo courtesy of Style.com December 7, 2010. That was when the runway photos hit the Internet and the first time I laid my eyes on the Chanel 2011 Pre-fall Paris Byzance collection. I wanted to sell...
So if you click on the ODJ (Outfit Du Jour) link in the right column of my blog you’ll see that I dropped off at day 244. A few years ago. You know, laziness. But a few readers recently encoura...
On my last trip to Europe I was given a very special present from a dear member of my host family. I wrote about visiting her family farm back in 2008, where I first met her, and 3.5 years later I go...
Technology has come a long way and anyone of us could “publish” a fab coffee book with just a few mouse clicks. Photography is a big source of joy to me, so when combined with my other fa...
Of all the times I’ve been to NY I’ve never strayed across the bridge to visit Brooklyn…till this trip. And as it turned out, it was there that I found my favorite pizza joint and b...
So while you were all wooed by Wu a couple of weeks ago during the pre-launch buzz of the Target collaboration with Jason Wu, I was zipping through one of the many Smithsonian institutions during my ...
Sometimes Karl Lagerfeld shows up in mysterious places! I was following the crowd to a certain Super Bowl parade downtown… as confetti and streamers fell from skyscrapers like snow: I was shock...
Yep, that’s a huge rip in my suitcase after a short flight from DC to NYC. If the road can take that big of a toll on my poor luggage, I wonder what it’s doing to my nerves. But I choose ...
This is how behind I am. Today I’m posting about a lovely day I had in Dallas a few weeks ago as I’m sitting in my hotel room in yet another city I sometimes wish I lived in that I’...
