C. Wonder is back in business and this time is under the creative control of Brad Goreski. Starting on March 3rd the entire collection will be available on QVC. Acquired by Xcel brands just like Isaac Mizrahi the collection is back and better than ever with colorful totes, flats, preppy clothes and jewelry.
I don’t know about you but around mid February, which is now, I have had it with winter and can’t wait to see the clock spring forward in a few weeks which means warmer and longer days ahead! Nothing makes me think of spring and weekends at the beach more than Vera Bradley’s colorful and cheery bags, backpacks, and luggage. For decades these bags in a huge variety of colors and prints have brought a feeling of happiness and stress free summer days.
Last Fall Vera Bradley added a new dimension to her brand with a sophisticated quilted leather collection of bags and accessories and this season has added additional styles and colors.

The Lodge at Torrey Pines has been considered San Diego’s top hotel since opening in 2002 and is a golfer’s paradise with two renowned 18 hole championship courses and is home to PGA’s Farmer’s Insurance Open every January. Located in upscale La Holla, close to some of San Diego’s best beaches and to Torrey Pines State Park the rustic yet luxurious lodge offers nature and outdoors enthusiasts tons of activities on the grounds and in the vicinity.
the Lodge has 170 rooms and suites with fireplaces ensuite, rich dark decor, and huge bathrooms with high end amenities. A heated year round pool with underwater music and a hot tub add to the relaxation factor. In mid January when there was a cold spell in San Diego and temperatures fell into the 50’s we still witnessed guests in the pool!
The lodge has two dining options, however the highlight of our stay was bar none our dining experience at A.R. Valentine. Executive Chef Jeff Jackson brings the best cuisine California has to offer with a farm to table experience and a seasonal menu based on produce that is in season and available at the local farmers markets and from small growers. The wine list complements the menu and the service is first class all the way.

The Fox & Jane salon originated on the Lower East side in 2011 and has since grown to four New York City locations with a fifth outpost in San Diego. Co-owner and founder Lorean Cairnes explained the theory behind the salon and how she felt there was a niche that needed to be filled. Lorean explained that traditionally in this business high -end salons, a la Madison Avenue, are typically formal and can be conceived as cold where she wanted to create a fun, friendly, and a family environment without sacrificing professionalism, technique, and always being on trend.
Lorean is very creative and when discussing my hair listened to my goals and fears and came up with a solution I would be happy with. With lots of color and highlights in my hair she opted to go darker at the root instead of lighter and added Balayage throughout instead of the typical foils to control exactly where she wanted the color to be. As a long hair person and being fearful of having my hair chopped off she trimmed my hair and added soft layers to give my hair much needed body. My hair is much healthier and more manageable as a result. The products used in the salon are formulated without harsh chemicals and are made for color treated hair.
The Fox & Jane salon is located at 104 west 83rd street. To schedule an appointment or to learn more about other locations visit foxandjanesalon.com
