I love a slinky, strappy bikini! But there are some days when you want ultra comfort in a swimsuit. I really, REALLY love this swimsuit by La Blanca. It’s basically the “sweat pants” of swimsuits. But it’s so cute, so maybe it’s more like Juicy Couture sweatpants if it were–say–2002. It has the most […]

Our Trip to Rome, Italy
When I was planning our trip to Italy, I knew one thing was mandatory: we needed a nonstop flight.

How to Wear Statement Earrings
I used to be a statement necklace junkie. My husband used to (truthfully) tease me that if my suitcase was overweight, all we had to do was remove my jewelry bag and my bag would miraculously lose eight pounds. But statement earrings have taken over the “statement” stage, and there is no sign of that […]
