Today Annie, Mary Ann and I are joined by our friend Ashley from Modern Glam to discuss how to pack for a vacation. We will be traveling to Hawaii in September with a three-year-old. We will be spending a lot of time around the pool and beach so she can enjoy the trip. We have not been to Hawaii for several years but it is very casual, so there is no need to pack dressy clothes that won't be worn. Let's take a look at how to Rock and Over 50 Travel Wardrobe-Hawaii. The plan is to bring a ...

Over 50 Fashion-What I Packed for a Three Day Conference
Hi Everyone. Mary Ann, Annie, Kim and I just returned from the Design Influencers Conference in San Francisco. We thought it would be fun to share what we packed for the Conference.

The Hotel Emma Where Industrial Meets Luxury
We had to go to Texas on business a few weeks ago. We decided we would make the Hotel Emma, San Antonio our home base and travel to our meetings. What a fabulous idea that was. via wilkepedia Those of you that are regular readers know that I love anything vintage, repurposed, and creatively restored with respect to its roots.

Napa Valley Getaway Part II
While in Napa we stayed at the beautifully restored Indian Springs Resort in Calistoga. We stayed on the main floor of the building you see here on your immediate right which overlooks a beautiful pond. If I were to return I would stay in the exact same location if there were just two of us. The great thing about Indian Springs is they have so many options. If you travel with another couple you could rent one of the two bedroom bungalows. Bikes are scattered about the ...
