“Hot town, summer in the city…..Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.” Happy 4th of July. I have fabulous memories of watching the fireworks over the Navesink River in my hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey as a kid. But it’s the food that really sticks in my mind….

Sunday is my regular writing day, but the beach was beckoning after … Read More
When I first looked at the Obsidian brand, Elle Macpherson’s ultra sophisticated collection of luxury intimates, I was reminded of the way certain minerals offer such an intricate array of visually intriguing details. Some people collect these rocks as works of art.

Now it’s time for some bridal girl-brief answers! Here’s where we last left off:
“I’d like to buy a wedding chemise for a shower gift, but is this something only meant for the brides’ mother to give?”
This is an important question, however the answer is relatively simple and goes something like this…I have yet to meet a bride who has ever received too many chemises. She … Read More
