A couple of years ago, my “new thing” was fashionable colored leather gloves. No need for winter to be dreary. I bought several pairs in orange, red and cream from TJMaxx. While walking through St. Germain-des-Pres, I ran across an Italian leather shop, J.B.Guanti. According to style authors, Helen Frith-Powell and Ines de La…

For the French Open 40th Anniversary, Rolande Garros celebrated the famed French tennis player, Rene Lacoste. I have to admit, as…

The first thing that Luxe Diva said when I returned was, “Tell me about the flea markets. Were they great?” “Of course!” I replied. Flea markets in Paris are like a treasure hunt. I don’t know if it’s the thousands of years of history and country’s obvious obsession with perseveration…

Hello Divas! P.U.S.H…Pray Until Something Happens. It works! I am not super organized in my general life, but when it comes to packing for a trip, I have it down to a science. You see when I was a new young attorney living in New York, I traveled a lot…
