- Pretzel M&Ms – if at all possible, they’re even better than the sum of their parts. A colleague informed me that there hasn’t really been a successful candy launch in the past 50 years. Apparently Take Five comes closest and even those are tough to find. Kiddos, do not let Pretzel M&Ms die a sad candy death.
- Nantucket – I always loved Nantucket growing up just because it was where my family went to really be together. Unfortunately, last summer was the first time I didn’t go since I was 3. In July, I was able to go up with Lydia and Abby and had an incredible time (and am headed back in 10 days!). I always knew it was the one place my dad was really able to relax and unwind but now that I have a job that’s demanding (albeit without the whole “life or death” element), I was able to see Nantucket in a whole new light. Lydia’s brother Mark took this picture and she sent it to me — it just seems to capture how special the island is.
- Lilly Pulitzer – ummm… pink and green Palm Beach floral explosions have NEVER been my thing, but while on Nantucket I wandered inside Lilly and fell in love with two navy dresses. Kudos to Lilly for doing navy so well and kudos to me for being so open-minded!

- “Good” guys – FYI when someone has to tell you and the world on repeat that they are a “good” guy or a “nice” dude, they probably aren’t. Actual good guys don’t have to promote it that much.
- I love my job — last summer I was just settling in to a new city and new job and new office, but this summer I was able to actually enjoy the work I do. I get to do everything from fly to London for an online tennis clinic with a fashion brand to use social media to reveal an overhauled, but still iconic, American SUV (video for the reveal below) AND still send snarky emails all day long. Pretty awesome.
