Food worth the calories (WTC), stylish fashion for women and men with flair,  world-class culture and entertainment in Miami, travel,  plus tips on whatever exudes fabulosity. Welcome to my blog!  My training to be picky was cultivated  through a long career in luxury travel which I continue to do apart from my blog, and the good fortune to represent and experience many of the finest hotels, cruise lines, and travel destinations in the world. (I share travel and beauty tips as well).

While living in New York City I was one of those quintessential New Yorkers who passionately researches the places to find the best bagel, freshest fish, hottest restaurant for great food and people watching, museum show, fabulous event, you name it.  I always say a passion to explore and discover is in my DNA. And I’ve taken that approach to Miami.

Curation is also about sensibilities. I want to be able to hear my companion in a restaurant,  no to long lines, want fashion that’s chic and youthful but not over the top, enjoy “glam”, yes to quality and value . And quality doesn’t have to be pricey.

You’ll read about other South Florida highlights and things to do — from must see art shows and entertainment, to weekend getaways and foodie finds. You’ll also be invited to exclusive reader food and fashion events.

And I’m proud to report that my content is often picked up in the daily newsletter Feedspot and and you can also find many of the posts running on national and local news aggregator, NewsBreak.

Newsflash: As of May 2026, the blog has been named the #2 lifestyle blog in Florida, along with being the #14 food blog in Florida and #7 fashion blog in Miami (Feedspot awards).
