Buon Viaggio – Versilia, The Tuscan Coast

I haven’t spent that much time in Tuscany.  I’ve been to Florence, Siena, and the tiny town of Terriciola which isn’t too far from Pisa. I was going to stay in Rome for my birthday.  However, the horrendous heat, the fact that 99 percent of my friends were gone for Ferragosto, and dealing with screaming … Continue reading Buon Viaggio – Versilia, The Tuscan Coast

Work In Progress – Prati Apartment – Rome, Italy

Last week I was hired to decorate an apartment in Rome. This is my first project in Italy.  I’m excited but also a little terrified.  Now I must speak and work in Italian.  While many vendors speak English, there are quite a few people I’m working with on this apartment, like the contractor, who do … Continue reading Work In Progress – Prati Apartment – Rome, Italy

Lo Shopping – A Few Fall Picks

The weather is getting cooler.  Soon it will be time for me to switch out my summer clothes for my fall/winter clothes. My winter wardrobe is non existent after living in Los Angeles for ten years.  One, it doesn’t get that cold in L.A., two it’s a much more casual place than New York or … Continue reading Lo Shopping – A Few Fall Picks

Stylish Simplicity – West Elm’s Parsons Desk

I have seen so many photos of this desk in various shelter magazines.  It’s been used in very high-end rooms and in rooms decorated on a budget.  Most pieces of furniture are not that versatile. It’s the perfect size for a small apartment or an office. I also love the idea of using it in … Continue reading Stylish Simplicity – West Elm’s Parsons Desk

Buon Weekend – “Vogue” – Madonna

Before David Fincher was an A-list Hollywood film director, he directed many iconic videos. “Vogue” is one of my favorites. Last night was Vogue’s Fashion Night Out in Rome.  Once again, I went with my partner in fashion/art crime.  It was cold and rainy but the streets were still packed. We had a great night, … Continue reading Buon Weekend – “Vogue” – Madonna

Stylish Simplicity – A Bike – Marina di Pietrasanta, Italy

At some point I will post about my first trip to the Tuscan coast. It’s been a little bananas during the last two weeks.  Summer is really over. There were bikes all over Marina di Pietrasanta.  It’s very bike friendly.  My hotel had bikes but because I haven’t been on one in ages, I didn’t … Continue reading Stylish Simplicity – A Bike – Marina di Pietrasanta, Italy

Stylish Simplicity – Moleskine Daily Planner

I do have a laptop, a phone, and other modern electronics, but I love putting pen to paper. For a while I tried to keep a To-Do-List on my computer.  However, for some reason, I kept going back to using legal pads to make my long lists.  It made no sense to have two lists … Continue reading Stylish Simplicity – Moleskine Daily Planner
