Magazines serving the communities of Northern Westchester
A first time mother’s infant spikes a fever; a senior living alone has difficulty catching his breath, a teenager in an auto accident. Any of them could be someone you know, someone you love.

Kids still want to make a good first impression on the first day of school. Here are some hot runway trends this fall.
Black-and-white and monochrome photo prints are in! Think leggings, skirts or pants in monochrome–that spells out infinite possibilities for mixing and matching. For boys: paint splatters have been seen in every line of jeans this fall, making jeans the easiest and the most fashionable choice of wear. And, of course: layers layers layers, think little moto jackets for both boys and girls–in faux leather!
