What I Wore to Pastis DC

Pastis, the French Restaurant in New York City’s Meatpacking District, has opened a second Pastis here in DC. I went to dinner… Continue Reading What I Wore to Pastis DC

My daughter and I recently went to see the Broadway musical Annie at the National Theater in D.C. While theater used to be a time for folks to dress up, these days people wear most anything to shows. I choose to still look dressed up as I find going to the theater a celebration, and… Continue Reading Dressing for the Occasion and the Cold

Universal Standard 4-in-1 Hybrid Puffer Review

Black coats are practical and classic, but sometimes a person craves color during the grayest months of the year.
