A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today, February 11, I am announcing my first giveaway winner. The contest was first mentioned in my What’s Going On? post. Congratulations, Netta Young-Johnson!
Christmas to me — blame my childhood — isn’t officially here until I hear Nat King Cole sing Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire, watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, and It’s A Wonderful Life. Now, as an adult, I am forging new memories: Visiting New York City for the past two years to take in all of […]
