Right in the heart of our city is a seafood jewel of a restaurant called Blue Fin.

A lesson in versatility…
Last week, I had the opportunity to preview the new spring and summer looks at the Ming Wang showroom. On-site was stylist Seth Howard who demonstrated how easy it is to take a classic piece and turn it into a trendy outfit (as seen above). I also had a chance to speak with Ming’s son, who took us through the history and philosophy of her work.

The Investigative Adventures into the Legendary...
Before going to the McDonald’s Legends of the McRib Event, I conducted some research on this famed sandwich. It turns out that the infamous McRib has an intense cult following. To understand this phenomenon, you need to know a little history first. It was introduced to a test market in 1981 and has been appearing periodically throughout the years for a limited time. It hasn’t been...

Levi's Spring 2011 Preview + The Duke Spirit
Levi’s always has the best events. The Spring 2011 preview was held at the Levi’s Photo Workshop in SoHo, and it was so carefully thought out that the feature band, The Duke Spirit, was as “rough around the edges” as the new Spring 2011 collection! The new Water<Less collection debuted at this preview, and was reflected by the giant water bottle chandelier above the...

Crisp Fall Air, Wet Autumn Leaves
I haven’t done one of these in almost a year, but today it just felt right. I wanted to wear my new Levi’sCurve ID jeans to the Levi’s Spring 2011 preview event. I love Fall. I love jumping into fallen leaves. Sometimes I feel it is much more colorful than Spring.

FabSugar Fashion Week Party
OMGOSH! I nearly had a heart attack when I found my photos from this event. If you didn’t know, my harddrive was jacked up, and basically I died from losing so much coverage from fashion week. Lucky for you, I have a fab party to show!
So during fashion week, FabSugar editors hosted a party at the Elizabeth & James Pop-Up shop on Hudson Street.
There was a lot of sweets involved.

Boscia Preservative-Free Luminizing Black Mask

The Boscia Luminizing Black Mask has been all the rage this month, so of course I had to check it out. What drew me to the product was not only that it is preservative-free, but it looked so cool to put on! It is a jet black facial mask that dries into a smooth rubber-like consistency and then…you get to peel it off!
You can kind of see how the Luminizing Black Mask looks on...

Weekday Excursion to Downtown Philadelphia
Last week I took a short trip down to the city of brotherly love to spend some time with E before she move even further south, Virginia! Have you ever wonder why the city got that nickname? That’s because it is literally the Greek translation of the city’s name!
I must say it was pretty relaxing to get away from my lovely city, even if it was for a tiny bit! So what did I end up...
