The Faena Miami Beach

As I am writing this to you, I am leaving Florida.  I am so sad to leave the Sunshine State.  We had so much fun during this trip.  We met up with family and friends.  Visited a ton of places but the highlight of the trip had to be our stay at the Faena in Miami.  It is the most amazing hotel.  The Faena first opened it’s doors last year during Art Basel and has been getting rave reviews ever since.  The hotel has been voted the best in Miami and Virtuoso travel’s best of the best hotel, design and service wise in the WORLD!!!  Of course we had to check it out…OMG!!!!!!!!!!!  Did it live up the the hype. The decor was out of this world.  We especially loved the poolside butlers that cool you off with water “sprinkles” and deliver infused beverages.  I have to say the experience was quite amazing.  They did have an after dinner show, that we did not get to see, but I am dying to go back soon!!!!

Thursday in Miami

Today I spent my last day in Florida in Miami attending the Fashion For Breakfast fashion show and lecture by the amazing vintage store What Goes Around Comes Around at the incredible Soho Beach House.  It was such a spectacular day.  The vintage fashions were so beautiful and the setting and attendees so chic.  What Comes Around has so many incredible vintage finds.  The best piece of advice we were given today by the owners, Seth and Gerard is to invest in designer accessories.  They hold their value and are amazing investments.  Clothes not so much and shoes not at all.  Hmmmmm very interesting!!!!!  Check out the What Goes Around Comes Around website HERE.  Here are some photos from an incredible day!!!

Color for Spring

With yesterday being the first day of Spring, it is time 
to start thinking of warmer weather, and lighter clothes.  
And, by lighter, I mean light color!!!!   We will be 
seeing so much light pink, or at Pantone calls it “pale Dogwood”, this Spring and Summertime!  
I am excited, I just love this color.  How fabulous 
are those pink flats?  I also LOVE the pink ruffle 
blouses and how about adding a pink bag to 
your wardrobe?  Happy Happy Spring!!!

Book Club Monday

Today’s book club monday choice is the  #1 New York Times bestseller Big Little Lies by Lane Moriarty (author of the amazing Husband’s Secret).  This book has recently been made into an HBO series that has been called “a surefire hit” staring Reece Witherspoon, and Nicole Kidman.  I have been hearing so many amazing things about this book and show.  I am planning on binge watching it ASAP but first I want want to get through the book.  Here is the story:

Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal…

A murder…a tragic accident…or just parents behaving badly?  

What’s indisputable is that someone is dead. But who did what? 

Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads:

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline’s youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline’s teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline’s ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).

Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.

New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
