I woke up early on Saturday to the sound of text alerts arriving. A bit groggy and without my glasses, I saw a text asking about my cash withdrawal in Indonesia. Wait what? Now I was awake, glasses on and reading text messages, emails and listening to a voicemail from […]
I planned a last minute transatlantic cruise from New York to Southampton, England and was super happy to pack my new Waldlaufer Nora sandals in Bronze because the color is a great neutral (surprisingly) to pair well with so many outfits and an easy shoe to pack. As I’ve posted […]
Traveling with an “invisible illness” is so often misunderstood – if you can’t see it, then is it real? I’ve found for the many with autoimmune diseases, traveling adds a few extra layers of planning (and clothes), stress and a plethora of “what if” scenarios. Your diagnosis is not who […]
I was invited to appear on WHYY’s You Oughta Know television program to speak on “How to Travel for Less” (scheduled to air tonight). I currently teach a “How to Travel for Less” class at Main Line School Night twice a year (Spring & Fall semesters) to help people learn […]
Despite luggage space being at a premium, I’ve often sacrificed precious shoe space for my workout clothes, sneakers/trainers and good intentions (thinking I’ll find a cool yoga, barre or cardio class in my destination or at the hotel). I’ve found that I rarely get to the local gym or boutique […]

Let’s start with the fact that 2018 was a crap year for me personally due to a job layoff and the ridiculous executive job search. Add to that, my friends woes (death of a parents, cancer diagnosis and job search drama) and it was tough to find the positives. Real […]
Last year, I discovered a comfortable German shoe company, Waldlaufer that you’ve probably never heard of – I hadn’t until Benjamin Lovell Shoes introduced me. Since then, I’ve been a (super) fan of the shoe company wearing my Waldlaufer Jasmin Henni Oxford every day since my sandals were put away […]
Sometimes, I make travel mistakes – dumb mistakes – where I should know better but somehow I just fail at being a fabulous (ha-ha!) traveler. The universe caught me this time with a six hour layover at London Gatwick. I also thought British Airways would know better (or be better) […]
A grown woman should not cry in a shoe store but I was tearing up in Benjamin Lovell Shoes in Philly when not one, but eleven boxes of shoes emerged from the stock room in my size. To understand this, you’d need to have size 11 feet like I do […]
