I swear I’m not blowing you guys off, it’s just been a crazy busy week and I have plans with my sweetie tonight and not much time. But I wanted to share with you a quick fashion fix I am proud of pulling off. Maybe it’ll help you the next time you find yourself in [...]

My favorite trend of the moment is the interlaced chain link look. I don’t know if my sweetie is well-educated on my tastes or he saw me eyeing a Chanel necklace a friend in NY was wearing, but he got me this kick-ass bracelet for Valentine’s day this year:

I don’t know if my lame picture-taking [...]

I’ve been watching the progression of Fond since the only thing in the space was four letters on a paper sign taped to the window. GBF (gay boyfriend) and I made plans to go before it had even opened. Last month, he made it into the city and we finally had our [...]

It’s Wedding Wednesday again and while I’d love to share more details with you, my planning is at kind of a standstill until I hear back from our travel agent with some package info. Apparently, three feet of snow makes a lot of people want to get out of town! There is one subject, though, [...]

Most of the straight men I know are last-minute shoppers. It’s why you always see them on the evening news at the mall the night before Christmas. This Valentine’s Day, that could pose a difficult issue for many because, if you’re anything like us, you haven’t dug your car out of the snow abyss yet, [...]

I can imagine after three of feet of snow being dumped on this cit in as many days, everyone is going to be jonesing to get out of the house this weekend. But, walking through the city streets from shop to shop is also going to be a PIA in the slop that is sure [...]

Open your hear this Valentine’s Day weekend with a series of Second Saturday offerings from Wake Up Yoga. After the earthquake in Haiti, I told you about a fundraising event that the studio would offer and promised more details to follow. Well, here they are!
“A Profound Act of Love,” will take place at all three [...]

I’ll admit, I goofed. I totally forgot about Modern Manners today. Call it a snow daze. It happens to all of us, so I’m not trying to sweat it too hard. Yoga teaches that nothing is good or bad, it simply is. So, there you are.
However, I don’t want to totally leave you hanging, so [...]

We’re looking at another ginormous snow storm heading our way this weekend in Philadelphia (it could at least be a weekday!) and I don’t know about you, but the last time, the people in my household, which included my brother at the time, got quickly sick of each other. The idea of doing it again [...]

Planning our destination wedding is making me long for the tropics. So, this month’s Thirsty Thursday is margarita-inspired. It’s adapted from of the book my future in-laws gave me for Christmas, Highballs High Heels: A Girl’s Guide to the Art of Cocktails.
Ingredients
3 ounces clear, 100% agave tequila
1 oz. Agave nectar
1 1/2 ounces lime juice
