I woke up this morning. I suppose that is a good start. After a few too many vodka’s last night while listening to @dnice on his live DJ session on Instagram, I need to admit I was offensively dancing with my dogs - and simultaneously using my new favorite app called House Party where I had a three way International video call with my girls Gabby and Tayo. And then, ...

I dedicate this post to a 53 year old gem, a boss lady, an inspiration, a star and I am proud to say, a friend of mine for the past eleven years. Andrea, I had the opportunity to dine with you and Alejandro in Aspen a few months ago. ...

My latest obsession is all things ‘on brand.’ I never considered myself to be a ‘brand,’ but years ago, my old producer at Plum TV told me that I was. So be it. Here it goes: I have a new obsession. I learned about the SLS Brickell, and its restaurant Fi’lia du Michael Schwartz just last week. I was sitting in John Lin’s living room, chatting with cultural god Dennis Scholl. ...

As you know, I am an absolute lover of vintage {and consignment} fashions. Being so global, the first thing I do when in a new city is my research, also known as a fashionista’s homework, and find out where to go get myself some old designer clothes that are guaranteed to wow, myself at the least. Somebody’s yucks are others treasures. J’adore. Having spent much time in Mexico City, I have ...

St. Tropez….I swear, it was most recently my first time there. No one ever anticipated me saying that, but back to the good ‘ol MsErinsita philosophy: B is for Believe. Originally, the plan was to go for a fabulous soiree, that a social acquaintance in Miami invited me to, after all, it was her alleged boyfriends famous annual fiesta. After our flights were booked with the plan of attending, the ‘friend’ ...

This past weekend I jetted over to Mexico, to a destination that I was told was a bohemian heaven. Boy was that the perfect descriptor. Manzanillo, Mexico, in the State of Colima, is located on the Pacific coast. I will tell you, Manzanillo is my new favorite, uber casual and easily accessible spot for INCREDIBLE food, a great tan, and a casual dress code, which for me, entailed a lot ...

Did you know that Berlin is a mostly Protestant city? You learn something new every day! Berlin in 2-nights and approximately 36-hours? Yes. I did it. It was a city I had always wanted to travel to, from the art, affordability, architecture and modernity with a major history that is part of my heritage, so that was enough to spark my initial interest. My best friend, Christian Roth and his husband, ...

While just in Florence, Italy, for a mere 12 hours, I decided to expose my inner equestrian. I have not actually mounted a horse in years, however, something deep inside made me want to look like I had just strutted down the Hermes runway show, 12 years ago. My mood was orange’s, reds….. and due to special circumstances, I had no choice to pair what I had with my black ...

Good ol’ Aspen, the Gstaad of the Americas…. Let me just tell you, this is one of the most amazing cities I have ever lived in, and every time I return, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I consider it to be home, and to be honest, since I resided there in the summer of 2008 when I worked with VH1 on a television series, not much has ...

Bespoke is SO 2014! It is chic, and if you have the means to jet over to London like I did to experience it, I suggest you give it a shot. Just last week, I ventured across the pond for some good ‘ol glam time, shopping, catching up with friends and a tad bit of debauchery included in the mix. Strategically located in Mayfair, one of the only neighborhoods I know in ...
