Wide women’s belts were in trend last year. Ladies loved to wear wide fashion belt (such as cotton belt, braided belt) to highlight their attractive body and slim waist.

This was my first time …

Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons in Ontario, and after last weeks early fall colour tour through the Kawarthas east of Toronto, it was time yesterday to check out the areas west of Toronto. My husband and I set off on the highway, left the 401 at Mississauga Road and drove north into rolling agricultural farmland. Our first interesting village along the way was Glen Williams, a little hamlet outside of Georgetown, whose former sawmill now houses more than 30 artists and artisans. We headed north …

Many Brits who counted on this summer to be a repeat of last year are now regretting not planning their summer holidays abroad in warmer environs, but it is not too late to plan a trip for this autumn. Although many sun seekers may head to the Caribbean in the upcoming months for their essential dose of vitamin D, the countries of the Middle East provide just as much sunshine, are much closer and there are no hurricane threats. As well as practically non-stop sunshine, the Middle East …

As a long time Center City Philadelphia REALTOR®, I am often asked about the history of downtown Philly. Here are a few tidbits I find interesting about some of my favorite areas to help people buy Center City condos: Society Hill, Rittenhouse Square, and Delancey Place.

A sawmill, a glasshouse, …
