When traveling I often search high and low to find something that truly speaks to not only the country but also the culture of its people.

Read moreThe beginning of a Baglady….
Fashion in a suitcase: a Baglady begins… Whether it’s hitting the streets of San Diego with a fabulous handbag or globetrotting with suitcase in hand, I’m rarely without my signature piece- a bag!

Read moreCustom “Made in Italy”
As an American who has worked in the world of retail and fashion for most of my career, it was top on my list to explore, discover and purchase all the incredible “couture” I could find during my 3 months living abroad.

Read moreDam(n), I love Amsterdam!
Although I’ve been before, I was ready to explore and experience Amsterdam once again. I left Paris to experience a new city…especially as most Parisians are on vacation anyway… and I didn’t come to Paris to hang out with Americans.
