by Casey Purvis
February 8, 2012

Ah, Valentine's Day! Offices everywhere are inundated with a flood of floral arrangements, balloons and fuzzy, stuffed animals. Singles everywhere are looking on forlornly as their attached co-workers, friends and frenemies (gasp!) Are hauling in the Valentine loot by the truckloads. Yes, we're stifling tears of loneliness as they ...

What Not to DIY

by Kelly Bryan Smith
January 11, 2012

With the average wedding these days costing in excess of the average new car, it is certainly tempting to do as much of it yourself as possible. However, some things are simply best left to the professionals. The last thing you want to do is repeat my mistake of spending the short hours between my rehearsal dinner and my morning wedding (when I should have been sleeping) cursing over the stems of the organic roses I ordered online, trying desperately to ... read on »

Holiday Hands

by Meredith W. Sullivan
December 28, 2011

I had a hard time getting in the holiday spirit this year, but that quickly changed once I got my spirit fingers. I recently made a visit to AQUA the Day Spa to let Keisha Alexander show me the hottest shades for the holidays, and let me tell you—sparkles get me every time. It was too hard to choose just one color so she showed me how to layer polishes, and she even painted me an accent nail. If you're like me and need help getting in the mood or you ... read on »

The Flat Broke Decorator

by Casey Purvis
November 16, 2011

Decorating a home can be intimidating. Couple the intimidation factor with budgets so tight that Abraham Lincoln is squealing for mercy in our wallets, and the situation could turn into a crisis in which the would-be decorator is lying in the middle of the living-room floor, staring at the ceiling in defeat. The purpose of this article is to restore hope to the color- and
checkbook-challenged.

Layering 101

by Meredith W. Sullivan
November 9, 2011

Layering makes me happy, because it's the perfect way to maximize my entire wardrobe regardless of the season. When you find a way to wear a strapless mini dress year round, it's one less thing you have to move to your "summer closet." Perhaps my favorite thing about layering, though, is mixing prints. The combination of swirls and stripes in this look are quirky and fun, while the fur vest and black booties add a touch of chic. On cooler days (or ... read on »

DIY (WLOH*) Wedding Food

*With Lots of Help

by Tom Ramsey
January 12, 2011

Asking me about “do-it-yourself” wedding food is about the equivalent of asking Dr. Peter Casano about how to pull off a DIY removal of nasal polyps, but I’ll give it my best shot. First and foremost, if you can afford professional help, pay for it. Worrying about the temperature of the pork tenderloin should not be part of your wedding-day agenda. You should be thinking about flowers, drunken groomsmen, and your own soon-to-be awesome, ... read on »
