Crosby Street Hotel, New York

Spending a lovely weekend in New York at the Crosby Street Hotel. Owned by the Firmdale Hotel chain, a London based group, this New York venture has a distinctly British charm and a fabulous SoHo location. In addition to wonderfully appointed rooms the guest drawing room and courtyard are full of stunning art and lush gardening. The service is great and the concierge is a gem. A must visit!

The Bardessono Hotel

As summer heat and humidity escalate in my part of the world, summer travel absorbs a good deal of my thoughts. I plan to share more images and information during my future travels with you. Until then I will return to last summer and the amazing Bardessono Hotel in Yountville California. It is the perfect blend on modern meets earthy with truly innovative approaches to green design. Don't just take my word for it though. Go visit the web site and learn more about it's designers and the man behind it's creation! Most of all... STAY HERE... if you can. You won't forget this trip. Enjoy.

Hello! I know it has been a long time since I've posted but I'm back after some intense life changes. Since I was not posting during the wonderous event of the release of the iPad, I have to treat it like the old news that it is. But I wanted my first post to be related to my favorite technology.... Apple. Since I love my iPad and need a case for it what better place to start.

Choosing a cover for your iPad is a very personal thing. In addition to superb design it needs to be based on the function you're looking for in the cover or case. Is it an outer-skin so when you put it in your bag it doesn't scratch or is it a carry case with pockets, strap or handles? Form with your choice of function. So I included some interesting options for a variety of uses. Enjoy!
