I’m not sure. I have a bit of a headache this morning. I think it’s the kind of bottle that splits better 4 or 6 ways (for a sip) than two (for an evening). We also ran out to pick up Thai food from Thai Away Home, which we hoovered (no better word for [...]

Today, my mom and I go pick up my dress. I have to admit- in all my one-day of dress shopping - I was absoltuley taken by this little store on West Broadway called Frocks. Sure, it might have only had six dresses to choose from (great for me), but they were well-chosen, not fussy and you got to lounge about deciding which [...]

Love affairs are wonderful things, and not always necessarily with your betrothed. For me, it’s chandeliers. A kind of light not so different from the firefly-bubbles in a good champagne. Here are a few that set me alight: From Absolutely Beautiful Things From Paper & Ink Studio From Velocity Art & Design Happy Champagne Wednesday. [...]

No actual champagne, that is. But I promise, we were still very champagne-like in spirit. You see, Ash had a craving for sweet and sour pork. So, wandering we went down Commercial Drive with Whiskey in tow to scope out Chongqing (the Szechuan place on the corner of Commercial and 12th that has really great [...]
