R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y……say the word out loud. How does it make you feel? It gives me goosebumps because it describes people who are fearless, radical, avant-garde, inspirational and on the forefront of a movement to make things better for all of us, whether it be political or creative. I went to the Brooklyn Museum to see the Georgia O’Keefe exhibit, and happened upon another exhibit entitled “WE WANT A … Read More
There is a great deal of buzz in the marketplace currently; good buzz driven by the millennial call to arms that size doesn’t matter. This inclusion mantra is complemented by a generation of women who have come to age in the most heterogenetic culture in American history. Globalization, birthed by the technical revolution that seized control of our everyday lives during the past decade, has enabled an education on humanity … Read More

What started as writing a blog post turned into putting together a wish list of lingerie and loungewear that I can’t live without. This collection of covet-worthy items on my radar is from NYC-based designer Morgan Lane.

After Shirley got me hooked on the live feed, I found myself checking the … Read More
I had a very Hamiltonian weekend. First, I finished reading Ron Chernow’s biography of this extraordinary man. Then, I listened to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s score for the Broadway hit show. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it yet. At $900 a ticket I will have to pass. But it doesn’t matter. Being submerged in Alexander Hamilton’s story was an intellectual and creative privilege. Born without an “American” pedigree into an impoverished life, this … Read More
Around 35 years ago, right after my husband and I bought our first house at the beach, we purchased a print of pink flamingos standing in water. It had a mirrored frame. I, in my ignorance, thought it was a unique deco piece, very kitsch, very cool, and hopefully very valuable. Not too long after we hung it in a prominent spot, I was watching the movie “The Right Stuff” … Read More
