Took this at Brenman Park by my house. Love the rebirth of Nature. When you think about what you really need in life - not what you want but what you truly need - could you distill it down to fewer than 10 things? I have been thinking a lot about this topic this year as I continue to reflect on what I'm calling my "tu-anh year," the year where I live…

Join me in celebrating the beginning of the Chinese (or Lunar) New Year. 2014 is the Year of the Horse! As Asian Fortune magazine explains, this is "a 15-day event that starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year, which falls on Jan. 31, and ends on the full moon 15 days later." Which means there is plenty of time to celebrate and follow through…

Today’s blog topic is my favorite: the bedroom, the most neglected space in the home. This is the space where many people think they can be untidy and messy because no one sees it. But to me, this is the space that we should take care of because it brings out our sensuality. Your bedroom should feel inviting and exciting for passionate love-making, but at the same time promote calmness for a…

Stretching outside of beach house #34 of Castle Hill Inn. I am all about creating balance. Doing yoga and meditation this past year has helped me tremendously and I will continue to do more of that in 2014. Can you believe it? Another year has passed. As we say goodbye to 2013, here is another opportunity for a fresh start. The next two weeks for me will be all about…

When it comes to Japanese fashion for young gals in their teens and early 20's, what do you think of? I don't know about you, but for me, I think of Harajuku girls, Halloween-style costumes, punk and goth looks, or maybe avant garde meets rock-n-roll...or what about just made-up living dolls! And can we talk about the hair? Blue, green, purple, bleach blonde - no color is off limits. Well,…

Here it is: the last scene from the DC Goodwill Runway Show & Gala. Can you believe all these stylish and great outfits? All from your local Goodwill stores. My vision was to end the show on a cool note, with a jazz soundtrack accompanying these last looks. From turquoise to navy and every shade in between, these dresses, separates, and outerwear are perfect for the transition from fall to…

I'm so glad that you all are enjoying the photos from the DC Goodwill Runway Show & Gala that I have been sharing on Facebook and Twitter! Today I'm sharing with you the opening scene from the show-Reds. As I mentioned in last week's blog, the color red conveys many things, especially love, power, confidence, and sex appeal which is why I always keep fresh red flowers in my bedroom. One…

Last week I shared with you a preview of the music for the Fashion of Goodwill Runway Show & Gala that I directed, choreographed and styled. So many of you who attended the event this past Tuesday have reached out and asked me about the music! So here it is! See below for the sexy soundtrack that DJ Heather Femia and I put together that was the centerpiece of the event. Don't these…

We all know that I am a big fan of women and their magical ways and talents. So guess what?

Heather will be working with me directly to create a sexy, moody, and exclusive…

To follow up from my blog post last week about how Art can inspire romance in the bedroom, I want to share with you another favorite artist of mine at the moment. We have several of his pieces in our home and office. His name is Drew Gaffney and his photography, printmaking, and paintings draw are simply awe-inspiring. I've collected a few of my favorites below that I think…
