From The New York EDITION to the new Whitney, there’s so much to see and do in New York before summer’s end. If you’re planning a late summer trip, I’ve got you covered with something new in every category: Do, Eat, Drink Shop and Stay, plus one bonus—my favorite sailboat-turned-oyster bar, Grand Banks, is back for its second season on the Hudson River. Do – The new Whitney With last fall’s Jeff Koons retrospective marking the final exhibition in its longtime Upper East […]

Guess who just called me one of the nicest people she’s ever met in South Florida? Fellow travel blogger Ashley Vaccarino of Arrive Chic. I was thrilled to have the chance to take part in her Travel Style interview series on her site and dish on all the ways I like to travel. She’s got a great travel blog, as well as an e-commerce store for all of your travel essentials. I took a look and picked my top three […]

My Travel Wish List
2013 was a pretty incredible year of travel for me. Since launching the blog a year ago yesterday, a whole world of travel and writing opportunities opened up. I ventured abroad to Mexico, Curacao, Costa Rica and the Bahamas. Within the U.S., I visited my typical “second home” destinations of Key West, New York and Atlanta. I also visited best friends in Nashville and Pittsburgh. And I discovered a little more of the state of Florida with trips to Tampa, […]

Daily Dose: Books & Books, Miami
I love perusing the shelves of a nice independent bookstore. In a world where they’re becoming increasingly harder to find, we’re lucky to have Books & Books in Miami. With its original location founded in Coral Gables in 1982, there are also outposts in South Beach on Lincoln Road, inside Bal Harbour Shops, and at Miami International Airport, as well as locations in Fort Lauderdale, Grand Cayman, and Westhampton Beach. It’s so much more than a bookstore. It’s an intellectual gathering […]

Daily Dose: Jeffrey, New York
I’d rather swoon than shop. And by that, I mean, I’d rather window shop the exquisite pieces I can’t afford than buy off the racks for things I can. Jeffrey, in New York City’s Meatpacking District, is a great place for this kind of shopping (or, swooning). With a highly curated selection of the most coveted designer apparel and accessories, this expansive store is a treasure trove of items to ooh and ahh over. From the latest Chanel, Prada, and […]
After New Years Eve, birthdays are my favorite holidays to celebrate. For mine last weekend, I decided to live out a long held fantasy of residing in a luxe hotel in New York City’s Meatpacking District, more specifically The Standard High Line. I’ve had a fascination with that hotel ever since it was erected straddling the newly minted High Line. Both developments seemed to have breathed new life into the neighborhood that I’d made so many memories in back when I […]

Nashville Chameleons: Then & Now
Here’s a little known fact about me: I lived in Nashville for two years from age five to seven. When I rattle off the list of cities I’ve lived in, that’s one that usually gets left out. Probably because I was so young and I don’t remember much about it. My family lived in Franklin and my memories revolve around our black and white cat Oreo and her two litters of kittens, our swing set in the backyard where I […]

Daily Dose: Big Time Boots, Nashville
What better excuse to buy a pair of authentic cowboy boots than on a trip to Nashville? After a day or two in Music City, you’ll be struck by the country chic fashion of its inhabitants, and in no time, you’ll covet their ultimate statement piece–the cowboy boot. Head to Big Time Boots on bustling Broadway amidst country bars, barbecue joints, and other shops. Inside, you’ll find an extensive selection of cowboy boots for both men and women. The friendly shop […]
