most recently i took a trip to philadelphia to visit my family.  my luggage was lost for 2 days. this was the first day i had “clean” clothes!  but, that isn’t the worst thing that’s happened this year.  in philadelphia, my 2 year old darling nephew was amidst proton therapy treatments for brain cancer. i went to help with appointments while his mother (my sister)  had yet another precious baby boy.  while i don’t typically write about personal matters, this turn of events have changed my life and was year-long emotional battle for my family.  while i was in philadelphia, my family and i went to lunch at the white dog cafe.  we enjoyed mushroom sliders and iced tea: something we’ve been unable to do as a family for months!   i am so proud of my sister and her family for having the strength to get through this tumultuous year.  i am happy to say that today marks a special day for my nephew.  he will ring a bell indicating his last proton therapy treatment. wish i were there!

little treasure

my most treasured possession are these miu miu booties.  typically, i’m afraid to wear them.  they should be put in a glass display box at a museum.  besides being a work-of-art, they are extraordinarily comfortable: an attribute hard to find in a well-heeled shoe!  i just had to wear these out for dinner in nyc.  i couldn’t argue with myself!  when i found this dress, i knew it would be a perfect combination with these booties. the colors play off one another perfectly.  it’s rare i actually look for a dress to “go” with my heels.  it’s certain; these little miu miu booties will forever be my little treasure!

hello central park!  i had the most fantastic trip navigating the streets of new york city, enjoying fine dining and catching up with old friends.  one afternoon, we ventured to central park for a little break from the big city.  we had a lovely lunch at robert, an uber contemporary eatery with sweeping views of the city and central park. it was incredible!  i wanted to look casual enough to be in the park, but dressy enough to drink sparkling wine.  by wearing my go-to gladiator sandals, i kept the look casual (and made walking much easier).  to add a bit of formality, i wore a blazer (have i mentioned zara has the BEST blazers?).  this is my favorite day bag. since it is made of patent leather, it can easily be cleaned (a must for travel).  i can pretty much use it day or night, which is great when traveling.  with a lovely lunch and wonderful city, it was a perfect day!
