They say that when the going gets tough the tough get going…but in this economy even the toughest can’t afford to ‘get going’ very far away these days.
So what’s one to do when a dream destination has you swooning to take flight while your ‘inner accountant’ has your feet firmly grounded at home .. you [...]
I just spent 5 days at La Samanna in St. Martin , leaving on the day of a brutal snow storm. I had prayed that the snow wouldn’t hinder our plans, as it was my friend’s birthday and we didn’t want to spend it at JFK. Thanks to prayers and the pilot’s determination to “hit [...]
I was privileged enough to spend the week of New Year’s Eve in sunny Mexico, along the Riviera Maya. (A trip I cannot more highly recommend.) The 1st town I visited was Puerto Morelos and quickly fell in love. This is a somewhat sleepy fishing village about 40 minutes past Cancun (and about the same [...]
Happy Fat Tuesday! As the Mardi Gras festivities begin let’s raise a glass to one of the most colorful cities I have ever experienced- New Orleans.
On this night 3 colors reign supreme throughout ‘The Big Easy’- each one symbolizing the meaning of the holiday: purple ( Justice ), green ( faith) and gold ( power).

From the New Year’s Eve Waterford crystal ball at Times Square ( double in size and capable of creating a palette of 16 million different colors ! ) to the shores of Sydney- 2009 rang in what I hope will be a colorful new year for all- hurray!!!!!!

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a preview of the Metropolitan Home Showtime Showcase . This 19th century Gramercy Park townhouse is the canvas for some of today’s most talented designers, channeling today’s most exciting TV shows on ….Showtime. As an extreme fan of Dexter, I could not have been more excited to [...]
I’m back in NY but thinking of my lovely week in St. Augustine, Florida . My best friend treated me to a shared birthday trip with her family and a friend, where we rented a condo.
My best friend of 23 years Alison (an amazing costume designer for films) and Justin (the fabulous star of Cirque [...]
As I was headed towards the exit on the back side of my hotel this morning I couldn’t help but find my way into Starbuck’s for a jolt of caffeine and color.
I quickly snapped a few pictures and matched the colors on the wall before running off to catch the shuttle to the World Market.
As gas prices soar this summer, my great American road-trip is on hold. I can roll with the punches so I’ll go to local beaches and explore my great city’s public spaces. The only price I like better than “on sale” is FREE ; and there are many free things to do this summer, especially [...]
