I was on a secret mission outside Paris yesterday. I’m not ready to tell you the whole story, but here are some bits and pieces. We stayed at the most amazing inn in Corbie. It’s called Le Macassar and we recommend it highly for the wonderfully hospitable proprietors, Miguel and Ian, and their stunning Art…

Paris, Day 1: Fiends, Food, Friends
We took the Eurostar to Paris, in the company of five fiendishly loud children. Their parents seemed unperturbed by the constant uproar. I didn’t share their apathy, and spent the whole time wishing gorgeous blogger Kate were there to get the situation under control. I noticed yesterday that she doesn’t brook any nonsense from chair…
London, Day 2: More Naughty Art
I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight…
London, Day 1: An Interesting Ladies’ Room
MrB and I arrived in London this morning in time for a day full of thunderstorms, redeemed by dinner with our gorgeous friends Bruce, Michele and Dave at Hix Oyster & Chop House. At one point, I excused myself to visit the ladies’ room, where I puzzled over a framed drawing in one of the…
Devilish Times With Gorgeous Friends
Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie came to New York this weekend, and I was delighted to spend quality time with her. We took a mini-jaunt to Riverdale to visit my gorgeous friends Jen and Amanda. I was most entertained by the name of the train stop — Spuyten Duyvil — which is an old Dutch phrase…
Dinner and Drinks, Zig-Zag Edition

Same Time, Next Year?
Last year, I wore a vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at a restaurant called Balthazar. This year, I wore the same vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar. Want to place bets on next year’s outfit?
Not Lovin’ It
On Monday, McDonald’s reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations. I hope you click the link in the first sentence because I put some effort into finding the right earnings story for you. A lot of the headlines on the McDonald’s stories out there just said earnings fell almost 23%. That’s true, but the fact…
Bloggers Invade the Upper West Side
Gorgeous blogger Lisa is visiting the capital of the world, so I decided to shake things up by taking her to the Upper West Side of Manhattan instead of doing the typical downtown/midtown tourism scene. I figured I’d share our itinerary in case any of you want to follow it in the future. First, we…
