I stayed at the Hotel Le Five and booked through tablethotels.com. I definitely recommend this site for booking chic modern hotels because they do include ‘budget’ hotels ie not hostels and extend good deals that are not available by booking the hotel directly. The Five is not large with only 24 rooms but the décor […]
Paris is wonderful for those obsessed with water like me. My Parisian friend who I call the ‘french lobster’ because of a sun burnt day in the Hamptons took me on the BatoBus which is like a bus on the river Seine.It’s great for those who want to see the city via boat and not […]
Last year I spent my birthday in Sifnos and had a wonderful time. This year I could have done that but yearned for a new adventure. So by the suggestion of my cousin I settled on Paris and put together a different kind of gathering for my birthday. Here’s the announcement I posted on Small […]
Ages ago when I lived in Paris I truly felt at home and dazzled by the beauty of the city. This short jaunt however provided me with an outsider’s perspective. It has been a long time since I’ve visited and there has been so much that has changed-especially to the tiny quartier Marche-Saint Honore which […]
With a line outside to make you cry even my press status got me very little VIP service Composed of over 400 couture ensembles shown at this exhibit it was easy to spend over 2 hours trying to drink it all in. Le Petit Palais is such a grand space and they did an excellent […]
When I travel I’m always on the lookout for the one of a kind and special pieces. I don’t always find it. Flip flops and fake designer sunglasses are every where but conceptual is not. Especially on the less touristy and smaller islands. I was delighted to discover a very cool shop in Sifnos is […]
Returning from Milos on the ferry we got into Sifnos at 11pm which is prime dining hour chez my cousins. Obviously they dragged us out for ‘one drink’. Despite craving my bunk on the boat I felt up for being festive and to recount of great trip to Milos. Two hours later we’re convinced that […]
The ‘Great Greek Grandma Show’ thankfully not coming to YouTube EVER! On our way to the boat excursion on Milos we shared a cab with 2 elder barrel shaped Greek ladies with personal bags the size of Texas. I wondered if they brought their whole house. Once they boarded the boat the proceeded to change […]
Another installment of the DREAM CLOSET PROJECT/LESS is MORE in collaboration with Guido Tenaglia and Hsiang Lin of EZarchitecture. So knowing that I would be spending a lot of time on a yacht in the Greek Islands I packed ‘light’ for me. I knew the lack of closet and drawer space. Here’s what I’ve brought […]
Lili’s laundromat in Sifnos So since I’ve been here on an undisclosed Greek Island I’ve accumulated a bit of laundry. In the beginning I was hand washing about 2 things a day-but then I got busy..busy doing nothing is a lot of work-there’s swimming, eating, smoozing, floating, you get the idea. That’s the thing about […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
