The end of an era at Armani
I read the header of the email and gasped: Mr. Armani has died! I instantly dove into the story, the retelling of his life and career. The man who started this luxury house after his own name, this man who maintained heavily involved in the line until the end of his life at 91. I…

And now, the food at the Langham Hotel in New York
When I booked my stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, I did it through American Express. That gave me daily breakfasts, a credit to be used for dining, and a whole lot of excuses to try the food. Multiple mornings, I started breakfasts in their dining room. On one side of the…

Quick note about the service at the Langham Hotel NYC
Yesterday, I started writing about my experience at the Langham Hotel in New York. You can read about my thoughts on the room (or not, the spoiler is that I was not impressed) but today I’m focused on the other aspects of the hotel. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff.…

A sorta room tour at the Langham NYC
After staying at the Langham Hotel in Boston, I got curious about the other properties they had around the world. This summer I made my way to the New York location. I went up to the room, using the key card enabled elevator. The bathroom was stocked with Diptyque products. There was a welcome treat…

I like this luxury hand cream from Dior. However,…
Imagine this. You are a logo obsessed luxury consumer with perpetually dry hands. What do you do? Why, you buy the Dior Le Baume of course. Okay, coming clean, I am not logo obsessed. I’m just really curious about skincare. This moisturizer is touted as a cream that can do it all, for hands, lips,…

Soap? From Dior?
Previously on fragrance reviews with A Wren Says, I fell in love with the Dioriviera sent from Dior’s La Collection Privée. The summery scent quickly won me over, making me think that perhaps fig is one of my favorite notes. You can only imagine then my excitement when I noticed the brand stocked the scent,…

Day 1, again
There are far too many pages in my journals that start with “Day 1.” You’ll see it there on the first page, then in five more pages it will come around again. And then twenty pages in, when I’m sure I really will keep going, it’s there yet again. It’s like I keep pressing the…

Another celebrity weight loss ad
Of all the celebrities promoting weight loss products, I never thought I’d add a professional athlete to that list. However, scrolling through YouTube, I learned that Serena Williams has recently come out to promote Ro, a GLP-1 used for weight loss. Because of her story, it changes the game. With her years of hard workouts…

It’s a love story…
This is the kind of good news I need in my world right now. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. The Swifties are excited, but also a little concerned. For an artist who has had breakout hits following big breakups, could a happily ever after damage her brand? It’s an interesting question. Personally, I…

The collab I didn’t see coming: Crocs plus hand sanitizer
Scrolling all the new releases at Sephora, I saw a very odd sight. Touchland, the hand sanitizer spray that your favorite beauty influencer probably keeps in her “favorites” –just partnered with Crocs. What? Now, you can take that already aesthetically designed spray hand sanitizer and adorn it with all of your little Jibbitz. The idea…
