Stylish and Sleek- La Concha is Uber-Chic! | September 7, 2010

Stylish and Sleek- La Concha is Uber-Chic!

Where: La Concha Renaissance San Juan Resort , 1077 Ashford Avenue, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 00907

When speaking to other guests at one of the two infinity pools overlooking Condado Beach at La Concha Renaissance Resort in San Juan, Puerto Rico, your conversation always turns to where you stayed B.L.C. (Before La Concha). You will get a variety of answers, yet everyone agrees that with the renovation of La Concha, San Juan finally has a chic, 21st-century-style star on the hotel scene.

There was a lot of hype about the landmark La … Read More »

Crop Top…makin’ a comeback! | June 25, 2010

Crop Top…makin’ a comeback!

Check it out! I lived this era of the 80’s or should I call it the Flashdance era….and now it’s back!  The “crop top” is back! Can you believe it?

I used to do this with my t-shirts and sweatshirts.  I would “crop” them to make them cool! I would cut the bottom and even around the collar to give you that “one-shoulder look” (this is where you “flash” back to Flashdance) when you REALLY wanted to look cool!

If you dare to wear…

*Try to avoid bearing the belly, unless you are hanging with friends on the beach or at the gym

*Layer it over a … Read More »

Safely Home! | June 7, 2010

Safely Home!

Hey Jet Setters, I’m back! I was in Korea and Japan for the last two weeks and have to say that Asia was amazing! I can’t wait to share pictures and stories with you all very soon.

First, I want to tell you about the crazy flight experience I had leaving the U.S.  On Sunday, May 9th, I boarded Continental Flight #9 from Newark International Airport for a 14 hour flight en route to Narita International Airport in Japan. Shortly after take-off I heard a loud boom and then the plane started to shake, and it felt like the plane wasn’t … Read More »

Timed Travel

People often ask me how I get to jet set so often? My answer to them is always the same…I plan most of my trips during “Shoulder Season” (jet setting between peak and off seasons). The weather is good, the crowds are much smaller and the prices are at least 30% lower! Here’s some Jet Set Smart travel ideas for Shoulder Season.

DESTINATION BEST TIMES

CANCUN- MAY, AUGUST, NOVEMBER

CARIBBEAN- JANUARY, FEBRUARY

HONOLULU- SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER

LAS VEGAS- JANUARY, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER

LONDON- MARCH, APRIL, SEPTEMBER

LOS ANGELES- MARCH, APRIL, SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER

Fishies and Cocktails | April 19, 2010

Fishies and Cocktails

Does the idea of going to an aquarium after-hours, and having a cocktail while you are there sound good to you jet setters? If it does, then I know just where you should go in SF…the California Academy of Sciences. Every Thursday night is something called Nightlife, where you get the chance to see the museum and aquarium animals, have a drink and some food, hear great music and dance to some of SF’s best DJs!

My friend and I decided to check it out last Thursday night (thinking if it’s not a good event, who … Read More »

Santa Ynez Basics | March 16, 2010

Santa Ynez Basics

Santa Ynez, California has become one of my new favorite obsessions on the west coast. The Santa Ynez Valley is located in northern Santa Barbara County (about a two hour drive north of L.A) and is the heart of Santa Barbara’s Wine Country. If you’ve seen the movie Sideways, then you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Why to Go:
The Santa Ynez Valley has more than 100 wineries which feature some great white and red wines (more than just Pinot Noir- if you saw Sideways, you’ll know what I’m talking about). Even if you are not a wine lover, you’ll enjoy the … Read More »
