Looking back, February 2012 was all about travel. Back and forth between New York and Los Angeles with Orlando and Virginia/Washington DC making it on the itinerary as well. This year being a leap year, the extra day was very much needed.

I’m always impressed by the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando. It’s truly my “home” there. My trip to Maryland was all about friendship. You have to make time to catch up in person. Brunch at Mrs. K’s restaurant in Silver Spring, Maryland was not only memorable and impressive but also delicious. It’s definitely a great experience when you visit the greater Washington DC area. Getting through all this travel without worrying about your nails is haute happiness. My shellac manicure in dark gray was my trusty sidekick in a chic color that never let me down!
