While I was in Aspen one of the boutique owners and I were talking about D.C. and the upcoming National Cherry Blossom Festival Centennial and the talk turned to our mutual mild weather (the topic of weather is always a safe, easy common ground) and how spring had for all intents and purposes, sprung. That [...]

The Style Network Launches at Michel by Michel Richard
We have got to stop meeting and eating like this. Ok, I jest. I love meeting and eating with some of my favorite blogging peers and those in the local social media, fashion and style news world. Last week was not only another excuse to eat our faces off (I swear I’m back on my [...]

Yesterday evening, I took a few moments to venture to the 14th Street Corridor, a part of D.C. that for a few years has well been on its way to defining itself as one of the city’s coolest urban areas in which to live, work, play and definitely eat, drink, shop, and outfit one’s home. [...]
The Harvest Table : A Table Is More Than Just Four Legs Holding Up a Top
