Big debate before my son’s wedding: can we wear black down the aisle. I did, by the way. Or should I say, black and grey. Years ago, I remember hearing about a black and white wedding and thinking: so gauche! (It could have been all the black and white balloons released on the dance floor). But today, I have a 180 degree point of view. This could be very sexy, … Read More
There is no statement of empowerment quite like a lady in red. La Perla goes back to its couture roots with its Atelier collection and reclaims the pinnacle of exquisite lingerie design. Found on Facebook and always on Instagram.

Everywhere we rode, we came … Read More
This was my last day at the beach, probably until I return to Mexico next fall. I am New York bound this week. One thing I can tell you for certain; bathing suits have infiltrated my psyche in Cabo San Lucas. There are more swim stores here than Lingerie Boutiques (of which there are almost none).
