It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Fall For Max Tan

Fall For Max Tan

As much as fall means an impending winter (which means by definition I dislike it), I have to admit it’s beautiful here in Boston. I love colors, the angle of the sun this time of year and the smell of freshly fallen leaves… The whole thing just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Too...

So, I’ve been back in Boston for a few days after a quick (and inspiring) trip to the Midwest. Congrats Rob and Megan!! Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out why people don’t smile here. It’s really starting to bother me. For instance: In CHI, when you’re walking down the street and someone is walking...

One to Watch: Naim Josefi

Summer is definitely upon us . . . and I feel another PSA coming on. I’ve seen so many unfortunates walking down the streets of Boston lately. . . Just the other day I was driving with my friend and observed some “situations” that were so bad I literally wanted him to pull the car...

Louise Goldin / The Dean’s List

I woke up this morning and it actually smelled like spring outside. Love it! Also loving Louise Goldin… pictures from F. Tape and Goldin‘s site. More about the label from NYMAG: English designer Louise Goldin launched her eponymous knitwear line in 2005, just barely out of grad school. Eschewing traditional silhouettes, the label is known...
Pass the Pringle

Pass the Pringle

Even though one of my resolutions this year is to slow down… I couldn’t help but FF all the way to pre-fall 2010. If these looks from Pringle of Scottland are any indication of what next fall has to offer, I may actually enjoy shopping for the colder weather! Speaking of the cold… it’s freezing...
3 States in 4 days?

3 States in 4 days?

At least that’s the plan… we’ll see how motivated I get. If you’re in the Boston/RI area, be sure to stop by the Selah D’or trunk show at the Calico Pop-Up Shop on Tuesday, the 29th! See you there! Also be sure to stop by Calico’s blog, love it!

Urban Socialite Gift Guide: Miss Lonely Hearts, etc.

Who says lonely hearts are no fun!? I love these bags from Miss Lonelyhearts designer Jenny Yuen. All of Jenny’s pieces are all hand made with love in New York City and in limited quantity… they’re the perfect combination of charming and mischievous (hmm…. where have I heard that before?) . . . Ok, time...

No iPod on the T = PSA

(This video has nothing to do with the PSA, I just like it and I thought it would make digesting my rant easier!) So… as I was riding home the T this evening I found myself in an unenviable situation: I didn’t have my iPod. I never ride the T without it. In fact, it’s...

Kalivas/ New Music from Zumbi

This week has been somewhat fragmented… I guess that’s what happens when you start things off by contemplating life by the docks under the stars until the wee hours of the morning… Anyway, my new-found perspective on Boston is slowly warming me up to its otherwise chilly disposition. Speaking of warm… make that hot… be...
Let's be Frank...

Let’s be Frank…

I can’t believe I’m up this early on a rainy Sunday. Especially after rambunctious girls night at Bella Luna (Brazilian Passion… mmmmm). Anyway I have tons to do today (I always look  forward to the weekend, and when it gets here I am just as swamped as I am during the week!!). Anyway, I wanted...
Who Wants To Be An Illionaire?

Who Wants To Be An Illionaire?

I have a friend who has slow-game… he describes it as the kind of game that sneaks up on you, slowly…. so that before you realize what’s happening, you’re madly in love with him. I am starting to think that Boston has slow-game… I refuse to admit that I love this city… but I have...
