A Beautiful Weekend in New York

High Line Park New York City Spring Flowers

Over the weekend, my Mom came to visit me in New York. Together we enjoyed two of the first nice days Manhattan has seen in months. After a couple mimosa-filled brunches, we explored The High Line and Central Park. According to my Mom’s Jawbone, we burned tons of calories with all the walking we did. While it’s sad to see a beautiful weekend end, I know there will be many more to come.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Mothers-Day

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful Mother, Renee! Here we are on the beaches of her home country, Venezuela, enjoying some sunshine at our favorite beach club, Club Puerto Azul, back in 1987. I can’t get over how cute these photos are and how much I want to go back to Puerto Azul with my Mom and little sister. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mothers-Day-Gift-Ideas

I’m very happy to have such a close and special relationship with my Mom. I know everyone says this or at least should, but she’s really the best friend and confidant I’ve ever had. That being said, Mother’s Day has always been very important to me. My little sister, Caroline, was even born on Mother’s Day. Though your Mom will love anything you get her just as she did when you were a kid, no Mom needs another carnation or ‘I <3 Mom’ necklace any more than Dad needs another tie. So here are a few glamourous Mother’s Day gifts for the woman who will always love you unconditionally. Be sure to mark your calendars for May 12, 2013!

1. Effortless Beauty Ready-To-Wear Makeup Planner  2. Square Lacquer Jewelry Box  3. She’s Pampered Set  4. Dooney & Bourke Flower Leisure Shopper  5. Branch Pendant Necklace  6. Voluspa Maison Noir Crisp Champagne Scented Candle

At My Mother’s House

I recently spent a few days at my Mom’s house in Wilmington, DE.  Though I’m happy to be back in New York, it was nice to spend a few days at what I like to call my “country home.”  My Mom’s personality really reverberates throughout the house.  So I sought out to capture it with a few of my favorite details.

Queen-Victoria

My Mom has always loved Queen Victoria. I’m even named after her.

Latin-American-Art

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but my Mom is from Caracas, Venezuela.  So her house is full of Latin American art.

My Mom In Central Park 1974

Looking through pictures of my Mom in Central Park in 1974 is like uncovering a new kind of vintage.  I think I inherited my love of New York City from my mother who has always been the biggest supporter of my big city dreams. Having been born in Caracas, Venezuela, my Mom has always loved the beauty and splendor of the island of Manhattan.  If only I could find this 70s halter dress and recreate this shoot.  But, some things can never be recreated.  As I grow and pursue my socialite dreams here in the center of the universe, I’ll forever be thankful for her strength and support, a spirit that was captured perfectly in her visit to 1974 Central Park.
