After my family moved away from Long Beach, NY, we spent several summers on Block Island, a tiny ocean sanctuary off the New England Coast. I witnessed several mid-day weddings there as we rode our bikes up and down the rocky terrain. There is something special about afternoon affairs, a frothy lightness that reveals a casual beauty. Understated, yet elegant, it seems the perfect purview for the Eberjey bride.
There’s a new girl coming to town. Her name is Fiore. She reminds me of Pippi Longstocking all grown up, but still delightfully independent and pretty self-assured. She’s traveling here from the UK where her family has lived reputably for over 50 years. I met her recently along with some of her friends: Matilda, Daisy and Lyla to name a few. They were all perky, young ingénues working hard to … Read More

This will be a different experience than my usual seaside sojourns at the local Medano Beach. There you can find us on our chairs near Tabasco’s … Read More

“Her bra could be better.”
Instead of focusing completely on the legendary Patti LuPone’s Rose’s Turn finale, that’s what Lori Kaplan, owner of New York City’s Bra*Tenders, was thinking as she watched a dress rehearsal of Gypsy.

One of the major reasons I love being in Cabo is the dichotomy of activities at my fingertips. Today, I rode for an hour and followed the lesson with my first ever attempt at archery.
