I am not pleased with the state of how people dress these days. I know that many feel that one should wear whatever he/she wants whenever, but sometimes, rules ARE needed. I’m sorry, but what some people wear at fashion events is nothing but attention grabbing and often, I feel like photographers and media take […]
I had the chance to experience Porzia‘s new menu on April 15 through an invitation from its PR company. It was served cocktail style with cheese, crostini as well as pasta and dessert. The food was excellent, but the environment was far from that. In order to truly taste the food, attendees had to hover […]
Due to being out of the country for a family wedding, I actually did not see the episode until Tuesday, so I had to write this up very quickly. It was very interesting, considering it was the first-ever episode in franchise history where someone was not able to finish a course due to injury (and […]
I was looking for an interesting dessert to serve over the holiday weekend and found a quark and yogurt cheesecake (quark is a soft, spreadable cheese with a texture that is a bit lighter than tubbed cream cheese, but not as runny as cottage cheese. The only mainstream grocery store brand I know that carries […]
I think this is only my second post using the dessert basket! The remaining two contestants were to make a dessert using sprinkle donuts, pomelo, peanuts and licorice babies (licorice bits). I had first thought of making some sort of deconstructed dish, but it just dawned on me…cake pops. Sure, they’re not really a “thing” […]
The French government recently passed legislation which mandates a minimum BMI requirement for models. The BMI must be 18. Casting directors, designers, agencies and anyone else involved in the fashion industry who do not comply can face a charge of €75,000 (about $82,417 US) and six months in prison. While this will reduce the number […]
The now-cancelled #racetogether campaign at American Starbucks locations had me thinking. Ethnic issues aren’t something that I think about on a daily basis – it’s not something that really “affects” me all that often. However, once in a while, things do happen. As I’ve noted in the past, it almost always comes from women of […]
What do you do with pavolova, lamb shanks, wheatgrass and pizza cheese? Normally, you think juice when you hear about wheatgrass, but this is not what I’m going to make. With the lamb, you could go with curry, but you can also make some sort of casserole. In addition to the mandatory ingredients, I would […]
I’m actually not sure if I can really post one this season, since I only went to six shows over a period of three days (this is what happens when there are too many events on your plate. Ahhh… the life of a lifestyle blogger). However, I do this every season, so I’ll try my […]
After being absent for a couple of seasons, Sunny Fong made a return to World MasterCard Fashion Week Tuesday evening with not just one collection, but also a small capsule collection in collaboration with Subway. Yes, sandwich-inspired dresses, including two pieces that looked like lettuce. While that was mostly wearable art, his main collection was […]
