Home Office Makeover

After running from meeting to meeting today in the city in the rain, I am finally back home focusing on getting all the things done on my to do list.  One of the first things, is to revamp my home office.  I spend a lot of time in my office, answering emails, making calls and even broadcasting my Radio Show.  I want my home office to be functional, comfortable and chic.  I have been searching for the best accessories for my desk and couch that currently exists in there.  Any of these things would help take my office from DRAB to FAB in no time!!

I and You

Yesterday a group of friends and I joined my sponsor Fortune Theatricals for their “A Day At the Theater” series.  They do this event about once every three or four months and bring a group to see a show with special pricing and have a disucssion with the cast and or director afterwards.  I have gone a few times and it is MAGICAL!!  Yesterday’s group was treated to the show I and You.  If you are interested in joining our theater group please email Ashley DeSimone HERE or ashley@fortunetheatricalventures.com.


Here’s the Synopisis of I and You:

Classmates but virtual strangers, Caroline and Anthony have more in common than they 
know.

Homebound due to illness, Caroline is something of a loner. So when popular student
Anthony unexpectedly arrives to work on a school project about Walt Whitman’s Leaves of
Grass, she is less than thrilled. But, as the poetry project progresses, Caroline finds herself 

opening up in ways she never imagined possible, and the two discover a deeper mystery 

has brought them together.

An ode to life, love and human connection, I and You will warm your heart and leave you 

breathless.










Weekend Real Estate Stalking

I love spending time in Southampton over the summer.  My dream would be to find a little cottage and just spend the summer months on Little Plains Beach stopping into town from time to time and visiting friends all along the East End.  Of course, I love getting the weekly SH real estate updates.  This week an amazing estate was highlighted.  Here is the perfect 11 bedroom beach house which onced belonged to the Carnegie family, named Meadowmere, and can be yours for a mere $32,500,000.  

Big Cats the Art of Robert Dallet

Its sad to see the end of yet another fun fashion week.  However, I have to say that I was able to end it with a BANG!!  Last night I went to the lecture Hermes: A Natural History given by Ménéhold De Bazelaire, the Director of Cultural Heritage and Curiator of the Emile Hermes museum.  This lecutre accompanied Hermes and Panthera exhibit of  Fierce and Fragle: Big Cats in the Art of Robert Dallet at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich Ct.  The exhibit highlights the works of Dallet, who started working for Hermes in 1985 and created some of the most iconic big cat designs for the company.  The Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization have partnered with Hermes to bring this exhibit starting in Greenwhich and then travelling throughout Europe and Asia in 2016-2017.  Hermes is also offering limited editions of scarfs and a coffee table book, with some of the proceeds benefitting this impoartant cause.  Hermes is also giving complimentary admisson to this beautiful exhibit at the Bruce Museum now until March 13th. Bon Weekend!!!
