Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
Metrostyle Purrfect Leopard Sweater
Leopard is one of this season’s must-have trends. I scored a Metrostyle perfect leopard sweater for my recent vacation to Paris, France. Full disclosure: I love to stand out in any crowd by wearing elegant and chic classic attire, especially for my age (61). Sometimes, our society expects women of a certain age not to be […]
Chocolate Goodness
Every September, I purposely remind myself of all the chocolate goodness you can find in Hershey, Pennsylvania — “The Sweetest Place On Earth.” This obsession with chocolate goodness dates back to September 8, 1984, when I married my husband at Hershey Gardens. Thirty-two years later, the historic landmark, four-star hotel has expanded with two major additions, including a full-service […]
New York Calling
Perhaps it is my annual trips to New York City when I was a child with my grandmother and or with the private all-girl high school I attended, but it seems that the city that never sleeps is always calling me back. This time, you can see the latest curated exhibit at the Anna Wintour […]
Bison Men
Recently, hubby and I motored to Washington, D. C., for a dinner date with some Bison men and their wives. I call them Bison Men because they all attended Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where the bison is the school mascot. I chose a fit and flare sleeveless dress to defy the evening heat. At […]
New View
A New View When I started college in the late 1970s, I wanted a new perspective on my eyesight—a clearer focus for all of those books that needed to be read. Plus, I didn’t want to look like a high school student anymore! I was a college student. Fast-forward to 2016. At my annual eye […]
All That Jazz
Earlier this year, when I visited the Jacqueline De Ribes exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I ventured over to the special display Celebrating Sax Instruments and Innovation, where I learned about the Adolphe Sax. The rare saxophone collection reminded me of the jazz I enjoy. I really appreciate that when you go to see […]
Paris, State of Mind
In November 2016, Hubs and I will discover what river cruising is all about. September last year, I was totally hooked when I stopped by the local AAA office. I learned that the most popular way to experience Europe is by cruising rivers, so I booked a ten-day Seine River Cruise. SInce that autumn […]
A Walk in the Park
Every March, I wipe away my winter blues and get a dose of spring when I attend the annual Philadelphia Flower Show. This year, my BFF Cynthia took in the aptly-themed exhibit, “Explore America,” celebrating 100 years of the National Park Service. The National Park Service (NPS) is an agency of the United States federal […]
