Not everyone can drive a Harley Davidson.
But we can all jump on a scooter. It has a feel of Roman holidays. Take a map, a bathing suit and a helmet. It’s easy to rent for few days.Ok, my dog can run faster but I may have a chance on a downhill.

Two wheels for two

Live to Ride

Just feel like hugging Jimmy today.

My son

I tried to escape the heat,
So I run to Shelter Island thinking, the beach, the breeze, the trees will help. They did. But why is it so hard to get everything perfect? I had to fight the mean horse fly bugs. They are so nasty.Trying to use the electric fly swatter… Can Dior make an insect repellent? Something more chic and with better smell than OFF?

I'll get them all

A Rare Sight,
The Magnolia Bakery without a line all around the corner. Maybe the heat? Or did they finally realize: They are not the best cupcakes. Only a “Sex and the city “tour. Not to be trusted.

The famous corner

I’ve been wearing Eau d’orange verte and I love it.
It is fresh, I like the idea of a men or women scent, it won’t mark your skin if you go in the sun but… as I got used to it, I am losing the scent of it.
I found a happy solution. I put Russia from Santa Maria Novella on my wrists and the old one on my neck. It’s a very nice mixed and I can smell them both.

My two friends

Summer house, Friends and Good Food.
Magic words for July and all with colors. The print of the dresses, the color of the tablecloth, the color of the food in the plate. Pleasure of the eyes before you start eating, it makes a difference.

I am Learning Every days.
Specially about computers. My laptop died, I was half sad, half excited in the prospect of having to buy a new one. Until I discovered TeckServe. 24 hours later they put a new Hardrive in there, like a new heart. And my baby is back in service. In someways, I would have missed that one. We shared many things. Why do we always have to run for new,faster,better. It’s ok to slow down. No?

What Makes them so Special?
The little details that will make that hotel the only place you want to stay. What are they?
For me, somewhere not too big, with nice design that makes you feel like you are staying in a cool big house and not a hotel, a bed that doesn’t break your back, a duvet instead of sheets, a pool when it is a warm place, a friendly staff, an extra toothbrush (I always forget mine), and simple but good food.
My number one favorite is the Portixol in Palma, followed by the Sunset Marquis in LA, the ACE hotel in Palm Spring, the Soho in Miami,… It’s a long list, I love hotels.

I love bringing my dog on set.
And I am not the only one. When we are lucky enough, we get a nice portrait.

Puppy love

I always Loved Picnics.
How lucky, most of my meals during a photo shoot are sort of one. I took that picture on a roof, downtown Manhattan. It was a very hot day. It is very hard to control yourself on a free “all you can eat”buffet but you better or the rest of the day can be very hard.
