When I travel, my favorite thing to bring home as a souvenir for myself is something practical that I can use or enjoy regularly.

I absolutely love reaching for an accessory to finish … Continue reading German shoes (from New Paltz)

Blue jean baby

Sunday morning I ran NYC. Our hotel was on East 43rd Street between Second and Third Avenues, a neighborhood with which I don't have much familiarity. My plan was to head north on Second and then cut through the park on 65th to head over to the west side. From there, the plan was nonexistent … Continue reading Running NYC
