It’s been abnormally warm during my late November trip to New York. The sun is shining bright and the air is crisp…feels more like late Spring than early winter.
My “can’t travel withouts”: Kiehl’s Deluxe Hand and Body lotion in Coriander scent, stackable gold rings, pearl earrings, SEE sunglasses and my trusty Kate Spade passport wallet and my passport of course.
The Ace Hotel: Nuzzled perfectly in the middle on 29th and Broadway. Always quirky, always hip and sometimes even too cool for me.
Eataly: Ok, I stepped into this food oasis and I didn’t want to leave. It is a foodies dream with specialized food stations to eat, they sell top of the line kitchen wares and you can get you’re groceries - all in one place. I am … more …
Between personal and work trips as a Fashion Buyer, I spend at least once a month in an airport. Needless to say, I have the traveling thing down packed and think about George Clooney’s character in the movie “Up in the Air” – It’s all in the packing. I’ve seen it too many times – People getting frustrated at the airport: Over packing, having too much to carry and the inefficiencies of going through security. Traveling, either for work or for pleasure should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one.

In the month of May, my boyfriend and I decided to drive the Californian coast. We took a flight from Vancouver to San Francisco and from there we drove south to Palm Springs. We stopped into a handful of places on the way: Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The drive is a must do “bucket list” item that should be on everyone’s list. So the trip starts in San Francisco…
STAY: Since we were only staying in SFO for one short night, we wanted to find something affordable yet “fun” to stay. We decided to stay in Jap-Town at the Hotel Tomo, a hip Japanese Anime themed hotel, part of the Best Western group. Prices range from $100 - $145 during low seasons and $250 - … more …

Since I travel a lot for work I am always looking for the perfect travel tote as my trusty companion. I need it to be large enough to carry a stack of magazines and then some. I have this really bad habit of carrying bags that are half the size of me. I’m only 5′2 but the larger the tote the more attracted to it I am - I don’t care if it looks out of proportion.
