I know you know by now that I love handbags and shoes. But maybe you don’t know how much I love scarves. There is something amazing about a great scarf. It can “wake up” your outfit without adding any jewelry, for those times when you want to look great sans bling. It can make a revealing top more modest, and more wearable. It can add a pop of color to a monocromatic outfit. And in the case of a really great scarf, it can actually be the “missing link” that chang... Read Full Story

I don’t do well with unsolicited advice. Maybe because I grew up with a control-freak, who told me how I should so everything (and still does), even when I’m already doing it and I have been doing it and I know how to do it, damn it. Maybe because I know that we don’t all think alike, and that there are some things people feel really strongly about – which means when you start a discussions with people you don’t know about some very specific topics, you can end up with an open can and worms e...

As the move draws closer (less than 5 weeks to go, and I’m sure you’d like me to shut up already about it) I find myself feeling like I need to capture each moment and save it for future memories, for times when I want to look back and remember what it was like, what it felt like, living here, walking through the streets of the greatest city on Earth, feeling at home and yet still as excited to be here as a first-time visitor, every single time.
