Early September in New England is one of my favorite times of year. The weather is perfect- not too hot but not too cold- Fall festivities are open and underway (like farmers markets, pumpkin patches, apple picking, etc.) and football season kicks off- even if there’s an ongoing global pandemic still happening. So this past […]
I’ve slowly but surely started the process of packing up my Spring/Summer clothes to make way for my Fall and Winter wardrobe. That’s not to say I’m wearing all of my sweaters or flannel just yet- since it’s still pretty warm out in the afternoons and evenings right now- but I’m gradually putting away the […]
Apart from Las Vegas, I think the only other city I travel to the most would be San Diego, California. I’ve been making yearly trips out that way for over ten years now- so much in fact that I can get around without a GPS/Google Maps, have my “regular” places to eat, shop and stay- […]

My taste spans across numerous decades and is inspired by […]
When it comes time for the annual clean-out of my closet, I admit I sometimes get a little hesitant to get rid of things- even if they’re no longer considered “in style”- because time and trends have a funny way of coming full circle and those very same “outdated” fads tend to make a comeback. […]
