I decided to enter Newport Life Magazine’s 5th Annual Writing Contest with a fictional piece and it ended up getting published in the March/April 2015 issue.

Read MoreAs much as I would love to be optimistic about New England’s endless snowfall, I cannot wait for the warmer weather to come around. The Secret Garden Tour has announced the dates for its 2015 Spring and Fall self-guided walking tours of nearly a dozen of the most beautiful gardens located in historic Newport, Rhode […]
Read MoreI don’t know anything about cars–all I know is that I can pick out the most expensive car by sheer instinct, just like how I manage to find the most expensive pair of heels at a store. The Audrain Automobile Museum on Bellevue Avenue, located down the street from the International Tennis Hall of Fame […]

Like every other person in Newport, I did my due diligence and stocked up on my groceries last night and this morning. While I was food shopping, I found it really interesting to see what other […]
Read MoreIt’s been one year since I studied abroad in Paris. I miss it–a lot–and it’s gotten to the point where I am searching every online calendar to find out about any event related to French culture.

Read MoreOne of my goals for 2015 is to highlight the fashion and style scene in Rhode Island. For this post, I reached out to established fashion professionals who I have seen in Newport or currently follow on social media.

Read MoreI have wanted to go to The Duck & Bunny for a very long time and finally, after two years, I finally made it for brunch. Since I’ve been living in Newport, I have started to slip into the habits of a typical Aquidneck Island-er–why leave the Island if you don’t have to? Among other […]
