It’s Wacky Watch Wednesday... and today we’re so wacky we’re talking only watches.🎉
Today’s lineup features some of the world’s most coveted timepieces:
• Cartier Mini Tank Française in Yellow Gold
• Vacheron Constantin Overseas with Blue Dial, complete with box & papers, in as-new condition
• Patek Philippe 5270J Grand Complication featuring a perpetual calendar, moon phase, and chronograph. The perpetual calendar automatically accounts for leap years and won’t need a date adjustment until 2100.
I’m wearing turquoise in honor of the not-so-blue waters of Alaska, where Rob is headed for a fishing adventure.

It’s Wacky Watch Wednesday... and Rob may be feeling a little wacky today.
Maybe it’s because he couldn’t decide between two favorites—a Rolex Wimbledon to match his Wimbledon polo or a solid yellow gold Yacht-Master II. Some decisions are just too difficult.
As for me? I’m keeping things simple. I’ll take the Hermès Birkin 40 in Étoupe with palladium hardware—brand new, in the box, and one of the most timeless handbags ever created.
So... who’s winning today’s style showdown?
⌚ Team Rolex?
👜 Team Hermès?

Thank you, and PaperCity Magazine Houston, for the wonderful feature in Houston Power Players Met in the Mountains to Boost the City’s Cutting-Edge Rehab Hospital — Two Days in Aspen and TIRR Memorial Hermann.
It was such a meaningful experience to connect with so many remarkable people while learning more about the life-changing work of TIRR Memorial Hermann and Memorial Hermann. Their supporters and guests are among the most genuine, compassionate, and inspiring people I’ve had the privilege of spending time with.
A special thank you to Anne Neeson for your vision, passion, and unwavering commitment to serving Houston through the Memorial Hermann Foundation. We are truly fortunate to have your leadership and heart guiding such an extraordinary mission.
And thank you to Amelia Stanton for including us in such a memorable dinner on Tuesday evening and for helping make the entire experience so special. The three days were truly magical, and we are so appreciative to have been part of it.

National Tequila Day always makes me think of one thing—celebrating friendship. 🥂

After the debut of Chalet Contessa, we traveled to Aspen to continue celebrating through Memorial Hermann’s Elevated Connections events. The evening began with a cocktail gathering at Bad Harriet at Hotel Jerome and continued with dinner at Betula, where meaningful conversations, new friendships, and cherished connections took center stage.

Some of life’s most memorable moments aren’t defined by where we are, but by who we’re fortunate enough to share them with.

Here’s to celebrating the friendships that enrich our lives and the connections that continue long after the evening ends.
