Life/Style: Atonement Review
Saturday, January 5th, 2008I don’t get out to the movies very often, which is funny given that I live in Hollywood. (Although, let’s be real, most movies they are churning out nowadays can be enjoyed at home on DVD.) However, Atonement had too many good things going on to miss on the big screen.
First, there was Keira Knightley, […]
The Next Best Thing: Vintage Train Case
Friday, December 28th, 2007Haven’t we all just gotten a little blase about air travel? And why not, right?

LifeStyle: Who Doesn’t Love Edvard Munch?
Friday, September 28th, 2007This is in the category of stuff that is just fun, particularly given the price tag. I love the MoMA Store–so many interesting baubles and thoughtful, artsy gift ideas.

There is definitely more to living stylishly than just looking perfectly put together in every situation. There is family, love, learning, teaching, contributing, and a host of other things that make our hectic lives peaceful and satisfying. One thing I enjoy is sending hand-written notes. Not just for thank yous, but for a […]
