Since becoming a fashion stylist, I’ve been asked more times than I can count about fashion dos and don’ts. I understand! Putting your best foot forward is important and no one likes to commit a fashion faux pas. Well, one thing is for sure – all the antiquated rules that have been followed for generations are in need of an update. This little Q&A will show you how to wear what you love without going by the book.
Celebrated September 15 to October 15, the observation started in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson as Hispanic Heritage Week. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan expanded on that to cover a 30-day period, and it was enacted into law in August 1988.
The days are growing shorter and the evening air is crisp and cool. The leaves are changing and autumn is upon us! I love this season – and what I like best about it is the food.
A female friend of mine recently asked me, “Do you know what season it is?”
First of all, when did I become the kind of person who follows sheep-like the bumbling visitors on a tour around a city? Well, when I first went to Mexico, I suppose. The taco truck tour was epic and worth every penny and mouthful. And then, of course, wine tours are lovely, because … wine. And the last time we traveled to New Orleans, the historical ghost tour was informative and interesting and just the right amount of creepy (and the tour guide stopped often so that we could refresh our libations). And so, a food tour on another return visit to NOLA seemed like a good idea. It had received high marks online; my husband and I supposed we could try food from restaurants we hadn’t gotten around to yet, and learn a little more about the culinary culture of Crescent City at the same time.
As a result of this year’s market volatility and the unexpected news of Great Britain leaving the Eurozone, I’ve recently been approached by multiple people regarding the merits of having gold or goldminers as a part of their investment portfolio. I will make this very clear: the answer to this question is very situational and depends drastically on each individual’s goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. I would like to make a few simple observances regarding this decision.
A new puppy! They are pretty irresistible – they have that puppy breath, which is why thousands of people visit animal shelters every day, and leave with a brand new, cuddly best buddy. There is no sweeter happy ending.
Over the last 50 years, General Motors lost more than half of its market share. The rank-and-file workers aren’t to blame for this. Instead, they were let down by their leadership.
As a father of two very active daughters ages 12 and 10, I’m always looking for things to keep my family engaged while trying to fully experience Genesee County. We are very fortunate to have so many unique local attractions, many of which are provided at no or little cost to the community and offer families opportunities for healthy experiences. At this point in the summer, most people have overextended their budgets with vacation costs. As well, they may have forked over a pile of money getting the kids ready to go back to school. I wanted to list a handful of local end-of-summer activities that are both rewarding and easy on the budget.
It’s good to have friends. Well-connected friends? Even better!
In the matter of a month, Baton Rouge, LA – the place where I grew up – went from a city divided, to a city, quite literally, under water.
