Paolo Nutini
We’re listening to Paolo Nutini, an incredible singer-songwriter from Scotland. His music and lyrics are honest and organic. His sound is very new, but could have been written years and years ago. He’s not too bad to look at, either.
Man of style-Simon Doonan
Simon Doonan is one of my absolute favorites. I love how he is always pushing the envelope, especially during his career as Barney’s window dresser in the late 80’s. He’s featured in the current issue of Elle Decor talking about the 12 things he can’t live without. Click here to view the article.
Do go to his website and [...]
Everybody needs a clubhouse
My favorite restaurant is Stack’s Coastal Kitchen. I’ve nicknamed it the clubhouse and I text my friends “Meet me at the clubhouse.” Here’s how you get hooked. 1st timers order the seared tuna. If you’re not into fish order the turkey/avocado club. The hook is set. Move onto the Thai chicken salad and you too [...]

Cool weather favorites
It’s time for pansies! Last month I brought home a few flats of pansies. I couldn’t resist. My friend Beth, who is a great gardener, told me to march right back to Lowe’s and return them. She said it wasn’t cool enough yet and that she always waits till Halloween. Well, I couldn’t wait so [...]
Do you want to go faster?
There is no way to explain how wonderful it is to be at the SC State Fair with my girls. To see their blonde hair blowing and watching them laugh together was so beautiful it was almost painful. It took me back to years past when I was at that age with teenage crushes, photo [...]
