Spectacular September
Film Festivals, Fashion Weeks, Political Shenanigans, New Projects And More
Sept/Aug 2024
Better late than never, but I figured we could all take August off before we enter an eventful Fall season. September not only ushers in the beauty of Autumn, but a spectacular series of arts, culture, and social events, which has always been the best time to be in cultural powerhouse cities like NYC and London (both of which I have previously called home). See my latest posts The Social Olympics and The Power of Film Tourism, our Travel Aunties accessories shop, and later this week the launch of my NEW personal project - The Age Box. This will include a podcast and lifestyle site aimed at sharing stories and resources with intergenerational women (especially 40+), encouraging new adventures that move beyond outdated expectations around ages and stages. I will be sending out a special email notice when it goes live so stay tuned!
