I can’t believe I have just one more week left in Paris. There is so much I will miss and so much I didn’t get to check off my list this summer.  I’m actually glad I didn’t see it all though because it will give me even more incentive to return again soon.  One of […]

One of my favorite things that have come about because of my blog has been my friendship with interior designer Tommy Smythe.  I used to watch him on Design Inc. with Sarah Richardson and literally laugh out loud at all his funny quips.  Now I get to experience them in person and this time on […]

There’s that joke that David Hasselhoff is really big in Europe.  Well, I don’t joke when I say I’m really big in Canada.  I love my loyal readers to the north and can’t wait to visit Toronto this week.  Besides my conversation with Tommy Smythe and book signing at Indigo Books, I look forward to […]

My book publication is definitely feeling bittersweet.  I’m grateful for all the lovely emails and comments this week and for my electricity.  I’m very excited that everyone is loving Creativity at Work.  If haven’t received your copy yet, you can get a first look at The Cut at New York magazine here.   I also […]

I was familiar with Keith Haring’s work but this show introduced me to so many […]

I was familiar with the brand Joe Fresh but it wasn’t until I attended the grand opening of their new flagship store last week that I really fell in love.  My favorite Canadian interior designer Tommy Smythe knows the owner Joe Mimran and his wife Kim Newport, the designer of Pink Tartan, and was kind […]
