Hello, is there someone out there that simply adores me and is thinking of a most improbable but yet delicious way to make me deliriously happy?

Well, think no more! I have the answer right here: "Zara's Tales" by Peter Beard would be a lovely addition to my library (that's his daughter in the front cover with her pet boar in Kenya). This month Mr. Beard appears on this year's Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed List. Here's a snippet of his questionnaire:

Residences: Montauk, the South of France, and Hog Ranch in Kenya. Occupation: “Escapist.” Age: 71. Personal Style: “Shag-bag.” Most Frequently Worn Item: “Kikoy.” Bargain-Hunting Locales: “The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and the Libyan Desert near Siwa Oasis, where I found a bushel of what I believe to be meteorites.”

Lovely Lyell.

For me size is just overrated when it comes to "green space", and this small yard (in the middle of Manhattan!)is just the right combination of manageable plants and space for entertaining.Perfect.

Spotted at Abby Goes Design Scouting.

The Results are in: the graduation ceremony was beautiful, the party afterwards was a blast, and I had loads and loads of fun!!!!

Congratulations Rainier, buckle up, because now is when the real fun begins!!!

Away I go....
Going to the D.R. for a few days.

Je reviendrai!

Here, a snippet of my favorite Resort 2010 show: Stella McCartney's (no coincidences here that she's my favorite designer). The title for this show should've been: Stella's Mad Skills!! Love that white jumpsuit, the sequined jacket, the accessories, the balloons, everything really! Feel free to click on the pictures.

When I went back home in March everybody mentioned how great my skin looked(thank you).The secret: Rodin Olio Lusso by Linda Rodin (here's a picture of the miracle product and the beautiful globe trotting stylist). At first I was hesitant since it's an oil and my skin tends to be on the oilier side, but hey, if it's good for supermodels, beauty editors and anybody who's anybody, it can't be that bad, right? Well, it's great!! Unlike anything I've used before (my mom is a cosmetic surgeon;trust me,I've tried everything). It's a little hefty, but oh so worth it!
