Red, Black, and Lots of Booty Poppin'

Sometimes there are color combinations that you know just WORK on you. They don’t have to work on anyone else. I mean, they can … but they work in a different way. Not YOUR way. And YOUR way doesn’t work like THEIR way. Get it? Good. Anyway, my point here: Red & Black looks amazing [...]

How to Wear Houndstooth & Brights

Last night in the good ole’ Dub C [aka West Chester, Pennsylvania] we celebrated my brother’s [George] 20th birthday at a thai restaurant, Jazmine, near my Stepmom’s/Dad’s comfy condo. On the menu: vegetables, spring rolls, and tofu. Lots & lots of tofu. I can’t believe he’s 20 years old. I remember when I was 20 [...]

Always Order Dessert Hosts a Fabulous Vintage [1963!] Holiday Party

It was the evening of the biggest snowstorm to hit New York in years. Or, at least, in my recollection of living in New York City. Grand total, 2 years. But either way, on the evening of December 19th, 2009, I had a vintage holiday party to attend to compliments of my favorite food blogger, [...]
