Saturdays At Shop This: Ending On A Positive Note

What a sad week in life and news. First Kate Spade's tragic death, and now Anthony Bourdain.  What this world needs is more talking and most importantly more listening.....less shouting. Those who are hurting are usually the most quiet. Kate's voice lives on through her family and her company foundation, which provides grants to low income New York City women in tech, the arts and entrepreneurship. How fabulous!

When going through hard times, it is helpful to remember the good times with gratefulness and a smile. One of those for me was a very special birthday spent at The Carlyle Hotel in NYC. That experience makes me excited about the upcoming documentary "Always At the Carlyle." It's a look behind the scenes of the famous hotel with George Clooney, Naomi Campbell, and more. Read about
 it HERE.
