Today, as part of the CineVegas Film Festival, my boyfriend and I watched the documentary titled Chelsea on the Rocks from filmmaker Abel Ferrara. We both loved it before we even saw it because it is based on the famous Hotel Chelsea in New York City. Also, the movie was shown at Cannes, [...]

Costa Rica
Posted in Places on May 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Ha-I went MIA for awhile (not sure anyone even noticed, but oh well). I went on a work/vacay trip with my boyfriend to Costa Rica for a poker tournament that was part of the Latin American Poker Tour. I did my usual thing and looked for creative inspiration everywhere. It wasn’t too [...]

On Earth Day, I happened to watch a show on NASA TV and saw some beautiful images. The images are all taken from space and feature our earth. It was amazing listening to the descriptions of what we were actually seeing. Visit www.nasa.gov to read about these photos and see more!

I did not even know this, but a new W hotel in downtown NYC will also have floors that are made for residents. Some are furnished, which is great to finish off the W look. There is a private rooftop lounge and a resident entrance, along with a media lounge and a fitness [...]
Hoi An

I know where I want to travel next! Hoi An is a small city in Vietnam (I think I read that about 88,000 live there). The city was an international shipping port in the 16th and 17th centuries and still shows a mix of foreign influences in the city’s protected Old Town. The main reason [...]
Desert Photo Shoot

On Friday, I went with my boyfriend to a replica of an 1880s mining town for a photo shoot of a poker player. It was the perfect setting with the Red Rock mountains and a clear blue sky, similar colors to the art nouveau print below. The day was a beautiful day for being in [...]
NY’s Green Executive Mansion

Take a look at Domino’s video that features the first lady of New York showing how the Executive Mansion is making changes to become more eco-friendly. I do love the video’s topic, but this video also gives us a different look into Silda Wall Spitzer’s life. It just makes her look more dimensional than the [...]
The Cotton District

I often get weird looks when people ask me where I went to school and I reply Mississippi State University. They then say “For fashion?”. It might have been a poor choice for that major, but when I was younger, my mom and I found out about The Cotton District in a magazine [...]
St. Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day! So this morning when I woke up, my AMAZING boyfriend brought me a suitcase and said that we were going somewhere. When I looked inside, it was filled with cute little presents (like a book and a beautiful scarf), and ski apparel. He had planned a two day trip [...]

Andrew McLeod is a fashion photographer that my boyfriend’s father represents. He recently shot some photos at my boyfriend’s parent’s home in Long Island, and I think they came out wonderful! Andrew emailed my boyfriend these photos, which are not on his website, but to see more of Andrew’s work, visit www.andrewmcleod.com. [...]
