Vintage Classy: The Pencil Skirt

When I think of skirts, I think, the shorter the better. The mini skirt is good for casual, yet playful days, and those nights on the town when you want to show off those legs to die for. While showing some leg is lots of fun, there comes a time when you have to cover it up, or should I say, glam it up. Not like a nun from a convent, but in a sheek, yet sophisticated way. Is this even possible? Sure!!!

We’re talking more than basic pita bread, tomato sauce, cheese and toppings here; it’s more of a delectable journey. Care to join me?

Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard: L.A.’s ultimate urban retreat

Upon arrival, plush and cozy furnishings in the open, airy, fresh orchid-scented hotel lobby beckoned me sit back and settle in to “vacation mode.” This I did as a team of service-focused staffers checked me in while I freshened up with a provided moist towelette and sipped a complimentary glass ofShirazwine – the welcome amenity I opted for over a cappuccino. This wonderful arrival experience was apropos foreshadowing of the hospitality to follow.
