I always thought my daughters might want to be married in a Betsey Johnson dress, obsessed as they were as teenagers with her clothes. Not sure that would be their wedding attire choice today, but I have no doubt that a bridal shower themed by Betsey would be very interesting.

I am researching an article now for the July issue of Creations Magazine. The theme: the rising tide of the Curvy market and the potential of the emerging Plus size category in Intimate Apparel.

Diving is a big sport down here in Cabo San Lucas.  I for one, have a whole hearted respect for the ocean, but going down that deep searching for the unknown evokes a feeling somewhat like the worry I had as a child, afraid to look under the bed after dark.

Riding two or three times a week here in Mexico affords me an opportunity to meet so many interesting people, one of whom owns a very chic Italian clothing boutique in the Luxury Mall called Maliparmi. I knew the store before I met Rosanna because I bought a pair of sandals there that I thought were a steal at 250 pesos only to learn (after I wore them) that … Read More
