Her words and decision have been on my mind for the past few days. My initial thoughts were, Continue reading

For a few years, the television stations would sponsor a large concert at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and I would work at our booth on Cinco de Mayo weekend.

This year, my friend Luisteen Gonzalez, Executive Chef, at Puesto Restaurant invited me Continue reading

I also have a few other brands, such as Banana Republic and Ann Taylor. Saks and Saks Off 5th also carry multiple other brands (at reasonable prices).
Here are the top reasons why I love wrap dresses: Continue reading
