Beware

It began with a call at 8am from my bank. It was the fraud department. My debit card had been compromised to the tune of $350.00. I learned my lesson. Beware when putting those numbers in the computer. Have you experienced bank fraud?

Dinner Fun

My Dad has been dead for many years. On Father's Day I always do something special for my Mother. We had some friends over and I made Tuscan chicken with kale salad and roasted veggies. For dessert I headed to Trader Joe's and got some frozen desserts. How was your day?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all. Dad I miss you so much!!

Obligation

I am not a fan of Margaret Mitchell but I do love this quote. It is true that life brings us a lot of challenges that we don't necessarily expect. Having just turned 55 the other day I have been reflecting a bit. I never expected to be back in Philly and I never expected my Father to die at 56. I never expected to have the obligations that I have. I am not sorry that I have been challenged . I think that I have become stronger from it. Do you feel that challenges make you stronger?

More Birthday

I have had a great week! Too much birthday but it has been nice to be with family and friends. My latest birthday gift is the Louis Vuitton Eva. It is a clutch, evening bag and a cross body bag all in one.  I just love it!!!  Happy Saturday!

Friday Fave

I am a fan of baked blush. I was in Walmart the other day and purchased this Hard Candy Blush for $7.00. Hard Candy is similar to Urban Decay. Check it out!

Birthday Update

It was a wonderful birthday filled with friends an family.  We had Carvel Cake at work and it was yummy!!

I got some great gifts and had the chance to be with friends. Until tomorrow!

It's My Birthday

I cannot believe I am 55 today!!

Friendship

Did you ever have a friend that you had an argument with and you have not spoken with in years but have started to reconcile with? That is the story of my friend C. We went to college together. We came from similar backgrounds-both Jewish students at an almost all wasp college. C and I did everything together. We lead the same dreams and the same friends. She was from NYC and I moved to NYC. We were supposed to share an apartment but due to unforeseen circumstances that never worked out. We spent a lot of time together in NYC and we had an awful falling out. It was all my fault. Recently I found out that C's father passed away. I sent a note and a gift. C responded and we have been corresponding . It is nice to rekindle a friendship. Forgiveness is hard and I do hope that C can forgive me.

Have you ever rekindled a friendship?

All Eyes on Merion

All eyes are on our area this week as the US open is at Merion. The shops and restaurants are ready.  We need to pray that the weather cooperates!!!

Best Foldable Ballet Flats

If you read this blog you know that I am a balletflataholic. I know that is not a word but I am making it my own. These Tieks (www.tieks.com) are simply the best foldable ballets flats. They are supple and soft and super comfy. They are expensive but so worth it.

Weekend

This was has been jam packed with activities. My birthday is Tuesday so we have been celebrating. Mother and I headed to the Inn at Phillips Mill in New Hope last evening. It was a spectacular evening and I am blessed to have Mother to share it with.

Today we are having my brother and his family over for a birthday/wish my niece a good trip lunch . We are having hoagies(I.E. the Philly version of the grinder or sub). What have you been up to this weekend?

Hermes New Collection

I adore Hermes. Their quality is not to be beat. Granted their prices are high but their products last a lifetime. I was in the Hermes Boutique in King of Prussia and noticed their new lacquer bangle collection. The bangles come in a variety of colors and at $240.00 you can splurge on a few.

Happy Friday!

Which of the would you want?

I have to buy a gift for someone special in the next few weeks. Which would you choose? Will it be Tiffany, Hermes, or Louis Vuitton?

It's Almost Here

The Lilly Sale is quickly approaching!!! It starts on Thursday. I am getting some extra rest before I head out on Thursday (hopefully I will be able to go). This is the only sale of 2013. I know that it will be extra crowded.

I have quite a few things on my wish list. I hope to stay focused and not make any impulse purchases (lol). Are you headed to the sale? What is on your wish list??
