For the past few years I have been watching Harlow & Fox, the elegant British lingerie brand conceived for women DD to G cups. Designed and produced in the UK of sumptuous European fabrics and Leavers laces, this is luxury lingerie. It is an extravagance worthy of any woman, particularly on her wedding day. Recalling the glamour of the 1940’s, the Eleanor and Viola collection in almond and hazel silk is a beautiful gift … Read More

Sunday afternoon I attended the ballet with my daughter. We celebrated her birthday at Lincoln center with The New York City Ballet and the formidable George Balanchine. It was poetry in motion. I was never that girl with dreams of being a princess walking to the alter; but a ballerina, that was another story. From a very young age, I was entranced by the beauty of dance, particularly ballet. For the very same reasons that … Read More
