What you really want
For years, we have been collectively chasing trends. Strawberry girl, quiet luxury, old money, dolphin skin, corporate baddie, just to name a few. At the business level, executives were perched watching, hoping to catch them all. The trends were popular, they moved product, but were they what the people really wanted? Instead of constantly chasing…

It’s not about you
Full price strategy. Price increases. In this economy? Yes, and with their whole chests. Brands are unashamedly moving forward with full and higher price strategies despite this uncertain economic climate. Many consumers have become more price sensitive, decreasing how much they spend as they brace for the impact of tariffs. In the face rising food…

Keep it simple
I have to admit, I have been grateful to spend a lot of time with visiting family. The problem is that my time to write this blog post has been severely restricted. With those time constraints, I’ve been struggling to think of the best post I could write under the time pressure. If you are…

A little love for Atomic Rose
Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums has certainly shifted things for me. At this point, I think I am now solidly in love with rose fragrances. I can’t say it’s not your grandmother’s rose. It’s certainly like mine. I don’t know what your grandmother likes. Rather than smelling like the power rooms I remember, it smells…

Just one more stop
It was a long day of grocery shopping, popping into different stores based on what was on sale and available. I started to get tired. Do I really need to go to this last store? But for some reason I felt the answer was yes. And then, working my way through the store, I ran…

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,…
