Congratulations! This is the second installment of a post I started a week ago for lucky couples that are thinking about becoming engaged this Fall. In the last post [read here] we talked about the importance of "making a memory" during the engagement and divided the experience into two parts: THE PROPOSAL, and AFTER THE PROPOSAL.
After the Proposal is how you are going to take the thrill of moment and magnify it by 10X, the secret to [read more]
This weekend is the New York City Marathon. If you’ve never had the chance to experience it first hand, it is worth the trip to Manhattan to navigate the throngs of Central Park (you have to be near the finish line!) and be witness to hours of personal triumphs.
What lessons in love are there to be learned from the NYC marathon? Is romance a sprint or a marathon?
I won’t try to overplay the metaphor, but there are many parallels:
Kelleher International is an amazing network of the highest achieving singles in business, sports, entertainment, education and philanthropy. It’s wonderful to work with the "elite and eligible" from every corner of the globe and help them find “the One”. We've all seen the books, articles and new stories about the powerful “Alpha Male” and what makes them tick, and our network is full of these incredibly successful men.
But our network is also full of wildly accomplished women. Whether they are [read more]
Summer weather opens up dozens of creative opportunities to help spark new love or fuel romantic renewal. A little bit of sun, a little bit of wind in your hair and a little bit of planning could help create some great memories this summer. Here are some of my favorite summertime classics to get you moving in the right direction…
Three of of my favorites: a Drive In Movie, an Historic Stroll, and a nice long ride in a convertible... [read more]
Our role as Matchmakers is to guide our clients as best we can in navigating the waters of global dating. If you find yourself in the middle of a group date, here are some thoughts on what comes next...
I caught a couple of clips from a commencement address President Obama delivered at an historically black college this past weekend. He shared insights and inspirations, admonitions and encouragements to prepare this group for a bright future. About three-fourths of the way through his address, he looked into the crowd and warned that "online dating is a distraction". In our age of 24/7 connectivity, the experience had evolved to where “information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a
form of entertainment rather than a tool of empowerment.”
I probably
get three frenzied calls a day from our clients asking “what should I
get her for Christmas? How can I find something she likes, I am
terrible at gift giving!” First, relax. Gift giving is about the
sentiment and the thoughtfulness and the expression of love at the
holidays. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get her a great gift that
will light up her eyes and warm her heart.
This year my favorite gifts revolve around an exciting 2010 I
have planned, full of travel to wonderful destinations – some for the
first time, some for the tenth! These gifts will tell your holiday
Santa that the New Year holds adventure for the two of you, and
adventure should be enjoyed in style.
Nothing takes me back to the
unfolding magnificence of a new destination like the spice-filled smells
of a Arabian marketplace. My first recommendation will transport you
back to the Grand Bazaar and the swirl of sounds and smells of that
truly unique experience. With echoes of Arabian nights, Annick Goutal's
limited edition trio of fragrances is the ideal gift for any discerning
nose.

Next, on long flights I like to
keep a small set of “essentials” at-the-ready for the entire flight, and
nothing helps me do that better than a couple of getaway-chic Coach
Pouches that slip over my wrist and stay my constant companion. Keep
travel essentials close with these Coach wristlets.

Finally, the right luggage
transforms a vacation into a journey. That is all I need to say to
introduce Globe-Trotter Erdem suitcase from The Conran Shop, £775
Fashion designer Erdem Moralioglu has been making waves for
all the right reasons on the catwalk this year, but now has his eye on a
very different kind of runway with this chic suitcase. Created in
partnership with luxury luggage company Globe-Trotter, it's the ultimate
in designer travel accessories.
