If you’re not familiar with NE Minneapolis, then you’re missing out on one of the largest concentrations of artist studios in the United States. It’s a very up-and-coming neighborhood of all ages with a variety of wonderfully diverse culture pockets. And with the abundance of warehouse space, many talented artists have chosen to make their studio homes here. Read more
Living in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a number of years, I’m no stranger to that crunchy-yet-comfy clog look. I’ve never really been a fan of clogs in general though – they’ve always seemed so clunky and un-lady-like to me. But, these Loeffler Randall pairs are about to change my mind. Read more
I know when I walk into a hotel room and immediately want to extend my trip an extra month that I’ve chosen the right place. I never really thought that “hotel living” would be something for me until I set foot in my room at the XV Beacon. So, with my most recent Boston visit, I have a fully renewed affinity for Boutique hotels and the indulgence of a personalized service experience.

Yes… it’s from an old SNL skit, but it rings in my head constantly when I fly. I’ll say it. I’m a Northwest girl {i.e. Northwest Airlines}, tried and true. Two things that made me this way: Minneapolis is {was} THE Northwest Hub and, when I moved to Los Angeles it was the only non-stop flight LAX-MSP. So it’s where I started earning my miles, it’s the acquaintance ties I had, and hell, I once dated a guy who’s father worked for NWA. Call me loyal. Read more
On a recent flight from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, I found myself in an innocent game of flirting with one of the flight attendants. Tony was just so sweet. On this particular flight, it was important to catch some Zs, so when the sun went down and I fell asleep, he came by and considerately turned off my overhead light. Read more
I hemmed and hawed for the last week over which awesome products to feature in this “Holiday Gifts” post, and then realized that I would simply let y’all do the editing. So, here are a number of great lists other people have put together {’cause I’m all about working smarter, not harder}. Hopefully this saves you an extra step when scouring the web this year… Read more
Yes, I chose Swan Lake because I had seen Black Swan earlier this year. If you’ve seen it, can you blame me? It’s a pretty incredible movie. But I also chose it because it is a true classic ballet. Other than the Nutcracker I realized I have not seen much classic ballet. And like the Nutcracker, Swan Lake is also by Tchaikovsky. I took note of the similarities in the structure to The Nutcracker, although not in a critical way. It was beautiful, just stunning… the costumes, the dancing, the experience. I’m not writing this to review the Ballet {that I’ll leave to the actual critics}. But, I did come to New York just to see this performance {well, also to have a Central Park run, see below} – to experience this night, to watch something I can only dream of doing myself. So that’s exactly what I got. Read more
I can’t believe that November is already on its way out and that we’re working towards 2012. This day, week, month and year has gone by in a blink of an eye. Let’s see… this past year, I went to the Yucatan for a 2-week winter vacation, moved my entire life cross-country {Boston–>Minneapolis}, traveled back to Boston 5x… Read more
I love hearing about friends who have very non-traditional holiday celebrations. And I’ve always personally dreamed of taking a holiday completely to myself {silent cabin retreat anyone?}.
But the best Thanksgiving of all for me was a few years ago when I was visiting my parent’s farm. My mom and I completely forgot that most, if not all, stores were closed on the day-of holidays. So, we found ourselves food-less on Thanksgiving Day in the middle of no-where Wisconsin. Read more
