It started w/ a swipe as many relationships do & ended w/ a marriage in 2018 when I met & covered their wedding for The New York Times. 6 years later, we checked in. There have been losses, additions & continued love. It was wonderful interviewing this duo again. nytimes.com/2024/09/14/sty…

Interviewed @markdionstudio & @troyhillarthouses on their 4th permanent art house installation. The Christopher house, in PA, was gutted, rebuilt & transformed. Rather than reflect the occurrence inside, they seamlessly live among homes occupied by locals. New York Times Arts The New York Times



Turkish coffee readings over the holiday weekend? Why not. It’s optimistic & included something to consume. Uluç Ülgen has read 9,000+ coffee cups. “I have a colorful style of fortune reading.” Indeed. The New York Times @michelleagins nytimes.com/2024/11/30/nyr…


As Dec. comes to a close, we wanted to remember cherished wedding artifacts that couples have kept & highlighted in their home. These items are infused w/ celebration, nostalgia, and, of course, love. T/Y for sharing your wedding & hearts with us The New York Times nytimes.com/2024/12/21/sty…

Your wedding may be public; your vows, however, are not. When the world is drowning is chaos, at least there’s always love. Thank you to everyone interviewed for this piece. The New York Times xohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/style/private-vows-weddings.html?smid=tw-share


Some wonderfully red eye-candy, highlighting a holiday about love --which we could use more of these days. The New York Times diptyque @sagesalt @hermes MAISON de SABRÉ @louisvuitton @baccarat @smythson Lingua Franca nytimes.com/2025/02/13/fas…

In 2011, Hayley Paige, a then-unknown bridal designer, began her career in bridal fashion with JLM Couture in New York. She went on to build a bridal brand synonymous with dreamy, modern gowns — until she lost her rights to it. The New York Times nytstyle nytimes.com/2025/02/20/sty…

What Goes on Inside a Brooklyn Loft Over 20 Years? “I’ve built rooms, torn them down, rebuilt them again, + created different realities. Every major life change I’ve had, I’ve been able to express in this apartment.” TY Patrick Seeley + ahhsweetdeath nytimes.com/2025/02/14/rea…

Loved interviewing @Sallynyc pres. & publisher of Little, Brown and Co, the company’s first Asian American woman to hold this position. The New York Times. "I remember pitching a book in a meeting where I wasn’t allowed to speak. I was too junior.” She's not silent anymore. nytimes.com/2025/03/07/boo…

An honor to interview @ojthejuice03 who is changing the way women are seen in the football world, & making sure they get paid to play. In 2019 she founded WNFCFootball, a for-profit, full-contact women’s professional football league. The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/03/06/bus…

For most, the expression “go big or go home,” is a war cry. @jeyperie of @lanoxenyc went small & stayed. Harried NYers might miss this 600sf bar, which holds 30 people, & is reminiscent of a speakeasy, is found inside the subway, 28 St. @ 7Ave. The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/03/10/rea…

Hotels & banquet halls were the go-to wedding venues. Now cavernous caves below ground, trippy treehouses above ground, nautical experiences, leaving guests free floating in the middle of the ocean, are. The more obscure a location, the better. The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/03/15/fas…

For the current book I’m writing on mortality, I recently landed in Santa Fe, to meet the stones. Not the aging, but somehow still performing “Rolling Stones,” but the rare gray & blue stones that were once the cremains of Mark Cessarich, a 6’1, 64-year-old teacher. New York Post


Meet the Bar Cabinet, the Bar Cart’s Luxe Older Sibling. Yes, I'll drink to that. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/rea… The New York Times

4 “I dos,” & some “I shouldn’t have,” according to @christiebrinkley, she has remained open to love & undoubtably, an “Uptown Girl.” Her relationships, career, near death experience, motherhood, & her love affair with love are in her new memoir. The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/06/29/sty…
