Philly Love
I was definitely feeling the love in Philly this weekend. If you’ve never made the trek to the Penn Relays… you’ve been missing out! By far my favorite track meet of the year, this event brings together a wide array of track and field athletes from all over… some of the fastest people in the...
Technically Speaking….
You may not [care to] remember the 80s… but you have to admit the time had a certain charm. Like B-Boys walking down the street with their boom boxes listening to pre-bling hip-hop. So much has changed in 20 years…. Giant boomboxes have been replaced by miniscule iPods (with color screens), and hip-hop (not real...
On a Mison…
Ugh! Still no word on my car. Now that I’m over the shock of the accident, I’m left dealing with the little things… you know, like the fact that my car might be totaled. That’s absolutely the last thing in the world I want to deal with right now. We’ll just keep our fingers crossed...
A proper vantage point….
Sometimes, even the best laid plans fail miserably. For instance, a perfect blow-out, a precision French manicure and plans for a cozy night in can be ruined by an unassuming rotary, mixed with an oily road, non-anti-lock brakes and a particularly bitter spring rain. A night that started out perfectly can end up chilly, damp,...

Style: Down Under
One of the hardest things to do is to find a place where all of your interests and passions come together. I, for one, am somewhat forced to compartmentalize… art is saved for rainy days… my love of fashion is appeased here… my love of the law (yes I have a love of the law…...
Bible Study
As you may and may not have read, I’m a bit obsessed with Bay area hip-hop… well add to that Bay area fashion label, She-Bible. Imaginative designers Stacy and Deirdre have been a staple in the independent fashion scene for some time and their new spring line is especially fresh, capturing the spirit of...
World According to…
Handbags are a dime a dozen. Truly, most of the time they bore me. The “doctor” bag, the “detective bag”… whatever. I tend to gravitate towards classics (Coach bags sans the “C’s” and my UpTown Bella lap-top bag). I get annoyed with trendy bags that are cold before they even get hot (I loved the...
Refined…
I had the wonderful opportunity to go to New York this weekend. The trip… though rushed (to say the least?), reminded me how much I miss the City… and how truly invigorating it is to walk around at night. There’s nothing like Times Square at 3am… the sights… the sounds… the… smells (actually most of...
Knock it off!
I’m a huge fan of Marie Claire’s Splurge v.s Steal column… A “leather bag snob” I opted for the real Coach and to this day it’s my favorite bag… a mere fan of cashmere I saved over $200… One of my longest and most thoroughly research papers in law school was a piece on copyright...
It’s a wrap 風呂敷
Scene: You in line at the supermarket about to purchase a couple things for dinner. In front of you 4 other women doing the exact same thing.Checkout clerk: Paper or Plastic? The first woman says paper and as she places her frozen dinners in the paper bag the bottom slowly gets soggy. Before she makes...
Headline: The Politics of Fashion….
Sometimes I get bitter. This week’s bitter inducing catalysts are an annoying assignment that has been dragging on forever and cell phone frustration. The worst part is, I need the cell phone to complete the project, but it’s currently broken…. so unless I spend like, $300 (my carrier has really expensive phones when you have...
