First Tonino Lamborghini Store in the United States Opens in Las Vegas, Nevada
Story by Cassie Hepler, photos by James Tantillo (unless otherwise noted) To understand this Italian luxury brand’s family tree, you have the start from the beginning. The brains behind the brand, Ferruccio Lamborghini, founded the company in 1963 with plans for a refined grand touring car to compete with other high end brands such as Ferrari. His astrological sign is the strong-willed and stubborn Taurus thus why the golden bull became an iconic logo. In 1993, Ferruccio died of a heart attack at age 76.

Hotel Adeline Adds Boutique Flair with Secret Speakeasy to Scottsdale, Arizona

Falling in Love with Breathless Resorts in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Story, photos by Cassie Hepler Since I was a teen, I wanted to live a bi-coastal life with my favorite seasons on the East Coast (Spring, Summer and Fall) and escape chilly Philly to somewhere warm in the winter (usually California and sometimes Florida). Perhaps I don’t own any warm weather property (yet) however I can escape the cold to the land of sunshine and lollipops, especially now that my back is fixed up with no pain and I’m literally less than 5 degrees curved now from scoliosis fusion surgery!
