I am getting back to reality after a two week holiday stint spent relaxing with my husband, watching movies, eating and drinking with friends and sleeping longer than usual. I am sure you all indulge...
So I write this blog feeling all over the place. For me, 2010 literally personified the beginning of Charles Dicken’s epic novel, A Tale of Two Cities. “It was the best of times, it was t...

So I consider myself to NOT be a star struck person. I won’t chase after you, or interrupt your dinner to ask for an autograph or accost you and take your photo; you’re human just like th...
Making a list for Christmas is really no different from what I go through every season when Fashion Week rears its gorgeous head. I delightfully go to Style.com and watch the slide show images of eac...
‘Tis the season to break out your sequins and sparkles. I love Christmastime for a lot of reasons but one is most definitely the ability to wear whatever you feel in the name of the season. Hol...

Family traditions are an important part of our culture. They tie together generations and allow us to pay homage to those, amongst other things, we can’t sit with at the dinner table. From a ve...
It is 15 degrees back home today. I am lucky I only have to write about it and not actually try to maintain my life while living in it. With that said, there are ways in which to keep yourself warm a...
Sometimes I feel like I’ve lived two totally separate lives. I am sure a lot of people feel that way who venture out of their home towns and settle in elsewhere. I still have a core group of fr...
What is music? This is an open-ended question that every person in the world would probably have a different answer to. For me, it is everything really. A perfect addition to any space or time and a ...
