Hattie Who? Hattie Carnegie
Wednesday makes the final dog day of summer. We’re now moving into the time of the year when the September fashion magazines hit the newsstands.

Anybody remember my buzz and excitement about going to the casting agency in New York City in April? That occasion conjured up memories of my experience in a 2010 Estroven print advertisement.

The Memorial Day weekend marks when our annual Hershey soirée takes place for an evening of high style.
