Letter from the Editor

Dear Friends, No fooling—the season has passed so quickly that April took me by surprise. Being relatively new to the “snowbird” lifestyle and spending much of the winter in the South, I often find my sense of the seasons a bit out of sync. Easter & Passover arrive this month so we are hoping for lovely egg-hunting weather. Up north where I will soon return, days can vary from high’s in the 70’s to lows in the 30’s, keeping gals on their toes for “transitional dressing.” Hilary and I will be looking out for both seasonal and transitional trends. We are republishing our New York Social Diary article, “Do You Know The Way to Wellington?” for those that missed it. Enjoy your holidays and see you next month back in NYC! xxookk

Dear Friends, We say it every year, September is more like a new year than New Year’s. Time to get back to school, back to schedules and back to the excitement of the city’s rhythms and rhymes.

Dear Friends, It is Awesome August and I plan to savor every moment of the season’s fleeting pleasures.
