A life full of champagne and flowers
Las Vegas-where you go to make bad decisions. Vegas is the one city I have yet to fall in love with. Sin City attracts all types of people from all over the world.

This past weekend, I took a trip to the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago and had brunch at S.K.Y. Recently featured in Chicago Magazine as one of the best new restaurants in the city.
