I wanted to share with you girls the photo shoot I did last weekend with a photographer I have worked with for the past 10 years. Howard Austin Feld has been a photographer for over 30 years in Miami he has now created a new venture called “The Boudoir Diaries”   http://www.theboudoirdiaries.com/ We had such a blast creating sets and collorbrating together on just the right looks, angles etc. This is the perfect gift for your husband, boyfriend or for just yourself.

OK you soon to be married girls, even though this book says “Single Girl” on the cover it’s one of the best cookbooks out there to get your man hot in the kitchen. What’s sexier than a women in the kitchen with a stylish Paris apron on? Maybe wearing nothing else? Even the busiest, most kitchen-clueless women will benefit from this deliciously cute and funny cookbook. Think of it as your kitchen’s little black dress. Jodi (Nutritionist), Melissa (Writer) and Katie (Chef), offer hilarious commentary, sexy anecdotes, and tangible solutions to healthy and simple cooking…

Just when you think you have fashion, beauty and love figured out…….you don’t.  If you find yourself deep in thought about the perplexities of life and need an escape there are a couple of remedies.

1. Read “Unpredictable” by Eileen Cook

2. Listen to Beth Orton, Melissa Ferrick or Mazzy Star

3. Bottle of Veuve Clicquot (one of my personal favorites) make it two bottles.

One of my favorite pictures is “The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville,” taken on a Parisian street in 1950, Love is all around us, take time to appreciate everyone in your life today. Life is short embrace the love that is given to you, don’t question it just live and enjoy it.

When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.
