Once again, I was shocked to find something at Tommy Bahama that wasn’t a Hawaiian shirt for my dad. Not that anything is wrong with Hawaiian shirts…my (step)dad has a ton of them and they’re perfect when he’s on vacation. Also perfect on vacation: this Floral Maxi Dress. The material is thicker than what you …

‘Janice’ Soutache Trim Shift Dress, Lilly Pulitzer After I wore this dress on-air, my sister-in-law bought it in three different colors (the price point is pretty reasonable!). And every time she wears one, she says women come up to her and tell her how great it looks. While the navy and coral (featured below) is no …
New Julian Printed Two Jersey Wrap Dress, DVF This is another DVF dress that’s a bit shorter than the typical knee-length wrap dress.

One would think it would be easy to find a good maxi dress for the Summer, but it’s not! I constantly try on maxi dresses that look great on the hanger, but usually, once I put them on, it looks like I’m wearing a muumuu (not really the look I’m going for). I’m happy to say that I …
My mom — affectionately known as Momma Chan on-air — is a petite powerhouse. At just 5-feet-tall and 95 pounds, she can effortlessly command a room. Growing up, my mom had a lot on her plate. She was a full-time professional interior designer and master renovator — and still managed to be a devoted mother …

I spent two days in Istanbul and loved every moment of it. Now I understand why it’s considered the gateway to Asia. This city is a feast for the eyes and it’s the perfect combination of new and old, West and East. When we first arrived, we took a tour along the Bosphorus, which divides …
Day six of my cruise was a much needed relaxing day at sea as we continued to head north up the coast of Turkey from Kusadasi toward our final destination: Istanbul. After sleeping in until 9am, I had a light breakfast of fruit and cream of wheat. I learned how to fold towels into animals …
