The Write Stuff with yours truly!

Sparkle and shine with me, Miss Must-Haves, this evening at Sorrelli as we, the writers of Berks County Living, help you shop for that special someone on your list (that includes treats for fabulous you too!). It's going to be a super chic shin-dig so come on out - I'd love to meet you! Plus, you'll get a peek at my hand-picked favorite Sorrelli finds I just can't live without this season!

Goodwill Toward Man

I always identify the kick off of fall to coincide with the Goodwill Runway Show. It's Berks County's very own Fashion's Night Out, but for an even better cause. All my lovely lady friends, after spending the summer on-the-go and in the sunshine, doll themselves up and get together for this second hand chic evening. It's like our very own back to school night, but so much cooler (did I ever mention how cool I think getting older is?). Anyway, without a word we all gather for the evening surrounded by fashion, charity and fall - compliments of sponsor Berks County Living.

It's easy being green

It's my favorite day of the month! Berks County Living has hit the newstands for its annual green April issue.

I had the terrific task of scouring the County for all kinds of eco - green goods and my friends, you will not be dissapointed. While I love each and every of my handpicked must-haves without question, there is one that I just can not wait to break out and try for myself!

Awesome Andy at East Ridge Outfitters turned me on to this hydration belt and I can not wait to hit the trails and try it out! He is the one stop shop for all of us Berks County outdooraholics, and I promise you will not be dissapointed (or leave empty handed) when you visit his store. Plus, GoLite is a super awesome company who makes really eco-responsible goods you can feel good about purchasing. Win-win, on-on.

Happy Trails!
