How to Spend a New Orleans Weekend
Forty-nine years ago, my boyfriend’s parents celebrated their honeymoon in New Orleans. Last week, they invited him, his sister and brother-in-law, and me to join them there for their anniversary. What fun! I was not accustomed to traveling with a group, and particularly not one I like so much. We had a blast. My first …
Lookbook: In San Marco with the Dress of Many Colors

Petoskey, Michigan
Right on the edge of Little Traverse Bay in northern Michigan sits the darling resort town of Petoskey. Known for its fresh air, its friendly people, and its Million Dollar Sunsets, this highly walkable town is a true charmer.
