It’s week 2 of 2 for the Lowcountry wedding themed “3 on Thursday.” I’ve been back for a week and a half but I still miss being home. Part of that is missing the feeling of being swept up in the excitement of a wedding. Andrew and Lee’s wedding and reception was so beautiful. I…

After getting a fabulous set of nails, a colleague and I decided to grab a quick drink at whatever bar was closest. That turned out to be Public, which may have been swankier than we were looking for, but they served alcohol so it fit the bill. When a group of trendy Soho girls waltzed…

I read a lot. You’ve probably seen book reviews on this site so you’re familiar with the novels and memoirs I’ve been reading, but it doesn’t stop there. I’m constantly flipping through magazines and websites for interesting articles. But I’ll admit it’s overwhelming. I work in print and digital advertising so I know firsthand how…

Thankfully I’m back on track after my 4 AM Tuesday morning wake up call. That 6 AM flight is brutal, but it was worth it to have all of Monday at home with my family. When so much of my long weekend home was actually spent in Charleston for Andrew and Lee’s wedding, I really…

In terms of storytelling, Beautiful Ruins goes backwards, forwards, and sideways. We start in the early 60s in an Italian fishing town so small the locals assume people only show up there by mistake (they do). Pasquale Tursi runs the small inn on the island and is in awe of Dee, the American actress staying in…

A trip home is always wonderful, but when it’s unexpected it’s an extra special treat. I am leaving tonight for a wedding in Charleston and taking a slight detour through Savannah. My brother and sister in law are also going to the wedding so we’re able to hop in their backseat for the two hour…

I’m baaaaack. Another long break for “Inspiration Station”, but I’m back in business. Here we go: I think Emma Stone is just adorable. I want to be her. Gorgeous and witty? Can’t ask for anything more. Easy A was her big break-out film. Sure it was a high school comedy, but it didn’t pander to the…

Convenience is important. When leaving the island of Manhattan, knowing the destination won’t be too out of the way is key to actually getting you on the subway and leaving the comfort of your home borough. I would never miss Karina’s birthday brunch, but realizing the restaurant was just off the Astoria Blvd stop on…
