A tote, a jumpsuit and an overpriced prescription for travel. Taking the WSJ to task.
Got six grand to spend on your vacation wardrobe? Me neither. Which is why I have to take the Wall Street Journal to task.
Christmas Countdown/24 Days of Holiday Gift Ideas
Day 22 – …be it a musical, a drama or full-fledged comedy.
How to Plan the Perfect Holiday Party
This is a fabulous way to add to your event, without adding to your bottom line.
Action! Holidays 2010
We have a couple of splurges, and lots of fun Secret Santa suggestions, stocking stuffers and…
Hello Smart Style. Good-bye Slouchy Handbags.
Structured, subtle, with a nod to Grace Kelly and the like, these bags are classic and gorgeous.
The Price of Hair Care (and what we’re willing to pay)
…the right products really do make a difference when it comes to hair care.
Run This Way (and wear this shirt!).
I stumbled upon the idea of bike-shirt-as-running-shirt by chance
Revisting Cabernet Sauvignon & the Owl Who Made Me Drink it.
A great wine to pair with grilled meats, strong cheeses and dark chocolate.

Our first beer tasting was held while living in Santa Fe and included about 12 friends. This seemed to be the perfect size [...]
Full Body Skin Care Must Haves
We’ve lathered, slathered, rubbed and scrubbed to find our favorite lotions, creams, balms, butters and scrubs. Here then, is the list: Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash. This is where it all starts. We’ll never use bar soap again (soap … scum, body … wash). Gentle enough for the face, too. The Body Shop Almond [...]
