Have you signed up for Amazon Prime yet? I finally took the plunge last week! The biggest draw for me? You get unlimited 2-day free shipping on a gazillion items with no minimum order. In theory, if I wanted to do my part in killing the environment…
A recent style article in the New York Times said it best: “There is something about chirping birds that makes us want to say goodbye to earth tones.” In case you’re one of the, umm, six women on earth who wants to cling to the depressing ochre, umber and sienna…

The recent bout of rainy weather in DC (not to mention the current arctic blast) was awful for my running habit but perfect for my nesting obsession. It all started when Andrew and I decided to rearrange some furniture upstairs…
Last week, I happened to catch the last five minutes of the cringeworthy sitcom “Ben and Kate” on FOX. (That show could give “Whitney” a run for its excruciatingly annoying money.) The episode featured 26-year-old actress Brittany Snow who could be mistaken for a young Edie Falco…
