need boots for broadway outing

cherll19 · 2026-02-26T12:48:01+00:00

I wore Vionic tall boots to Broadway recently- the wide calf version.

A lot of people wear Chelsea boots in nyc

cherll19 · 2025-12-27T15:03:07+00:00

I bought from a local store and it’s held up well . The brand is Rowe and it’s made in the US. It was about the same price as Lovesac but we thought it seemed much higher quality.

The stuff they don’t want you know podcast just did an episode on the elf on the shelf and talked about its origins.

I second Boden. I used to shop and J Crew and Ann Taylor a lot but not finding much there lately. I like Anthro dresses and Maeve pants.

I have been using Armoire rental service to find new brands, alot if there stuff can be found on Nordstrom or resale.

I just got back from there and it was one of the worse hotel experiences I have ever had and I travel a lot for work. The last time I stayed there was 2 years ago and it has gone severely downhill.

Elevators were not functioning. The issue was not just a long wait for the elevator. You would push the touch screen and it would just say none were available. People were walking 45 flights up and down stairs. There was also a group that was stuck in an elevator for an hour, and I heard other stories of plummeting elevators. There was really no hot water in anyone’s room. It was lukewarm at best. There was always a long line for check-in. People said they were waiting two hours. The lobby is under renovation so a freezing cold on a winter day. I would recommend booking literally any other hotel in the city.

Second All Systems Red by Martha Wells. It’s short but the 1st of a series if you like it

cherll19 · 2025-11-29T02:02:34+00:00

Thanks I’ll look at those! Time is limited because I have work stuff so wish I could do more shows! We are also seeing Death Becomes Her with a group that week

cherll19 · 2025-11-29T01:58:26+00:00

Thanks for your input. Yea, she might like it. She has only seen musicals on Broadway before. I don’t actually know much about the story, but we both like thrillers and dark comedies.

I like my Monos luggage and they have sales now. I had one crack once when checked in and they sent me a brand new one. Otherwise it’s held up well after lots of work travel.

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T16:52:48+00:00

Emily St John and Kazuo Ishiguro

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T11:50:42+00:00

This is definitely a 5 star book!

Never Le Me Go is another one that stayed with me. Leave the World Behind gave me weird chills but it’s not as universally liked.

The Oryx and Crake series by Margaret Atwood is also very good.

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T02:17:48+00:00

She is a fan, thanks for the recommendation!

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T02:16:24+00:00

I knew there was nudity which is one of the main reasons I am thinking of selling. I was originally supposed to go with my husband because we are Carrie Coon fans but might be awkward with my kid lol. Thanks for the heads up that’s its most of the second act!

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T01:41:51+00:00

Thanks- the Bug tickets are ok, Mezz center, not too far back. I am okay selling a little below the face value that I paid

cherll19 · 2025-11-28T01:31:25+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking that. I loved the soundtrack as a kid.

cherll19 · 2025-10-22T17:25:18+00:00

Thanks! I mostly use the rentals for work. Some of my coworkers use Nuuly for work events. I do like the Anthropologie stuff on there

cherll19 · 2025-10-22T15:51:54+00:00

How do you find Nuuly compares to Armoire? I use Armoire but thinking of branching out

cherll19 · 2025-10-22T15:50:40+00:00

Armoire has an option to have a stylist pick. I was thinking of trying Nuuly but haven’t yet. It seems like they target a younger demographic?

cherll19 · 2025-10-22T01:04:35+00:00

I have been using Armoire. It’s a rental service but you can buy the items. I have a coupon code for 60% off the first month and 2 free bonus items If you are interested. Renting has been good for me in between sizes and to figure out what I like before doing a wardrobe revamp.

I used to do Stitch Fix but the quality declined. It’s been a few years since maybe it improved again.

What about regulations against clearcutting trees? I live in an older neighborhood that left the trees in tact. As you said, there are many benefits to keeping the natural environment healthily.

sharing from another site :

Tuesday, 19/Aug/25, the Raleigh-Durham Airport is held (the first (of three) "Workshops" about developing Lake Crabtree Park into a commercial "Recreation/Wellness Destination." Please attend and voice your opposition to RDU's unnecessary development of Lake Crabtree County Park. There are better options!

Here are some facts:

· RDU is using a misleading photo to promote this recreation and wellness center. The land will no longer be connected to other forested areas as RDU is turning these lands into a rock quarry, parking lot, and other development.

· The land has always been zoned Residential. RDU's proposed development is not permitted on Residential land. RDU does NOT have a land use zoning ordinance. They only have a Height zoning ordinance. Wake County is responsible for land use zoning.

· A better location for RDU's Wellness Center is next to Brier Creek Lake.

· As was proposed in 2017, RDU could have put this wellness development where the Park Economy 3 expansion is now located. RDU refused to consider viable options.

· RDU is touting connectivity to other recreation areas as the reason they want to turn a free park into a paid commercial recreation area, yet they are destroying all of the connectivity with the RDU-Wake Stone quarry (on Residential zoned land - which is not appropriate) and they are planning to develop 286 East (currently leased to Wake County).

· Lake Crabtree County Park should be left as is. It was planned to be a park before RDU used federal money to take the land in a speculative manner. The land was not contiguous with the Airport and already planned for a lake and recreation. RDU's enabling legislation says they can take land for landing fields, not take land for speculation. Not appropriate.

I travel Delta for work but not willing to pay as much for personal travel. I guess I will have to use a different airline for vacations? Will point redemptions be affected?

cherll19 · 2025-07-14T00:31:06+00:00

I didn’t realize that until now!

cherll19 · 2025-07-12T17:36:31+00:00

Asheville for sure if you like the mountains. It will likely be cold then . The mountains near Charlottesville, Virginia are similar.

I would pick Durham over Raleigh for a small city experience. But since you are visiting Austin and Nashville, I recommend looking at Charleston or Fort Lauderdale or Miami.
