Jodi's Take on... Beirut Mediterranean Cuisine
Over the weekend my husband and I decided to try out the new Mediterranean restaurant in Market Place; he did the ordering and we got takeout.

Up to now I cannot make out what kind of soup it was. It looked like some sort of creamy porridge; it was s ... Read More

Shoppers crashed the website of Australian designer Zimmerman after the Duchess of Cambridge chose the label for the third day of the couple's Down Under tour. Kate made the most of the Sydney sunshine in a white lace sundress as she and William attended the Royal Easter Show at Olympic Park on Friday – without Prince George.

Vows — Love Match
A chance encounter at Spencer's Tailoring on a Saturday afternoon set love in motion for Trevin Nairne and Melissa Rattray. Nairne, export manager at Best Dressed Chicken, and Rattray, assistant curriculum development officer at the Council of Community Colleges, crossed paths in March 2012, when she accompanied her sister Desiree to the store. “I was bored, so I went on the road with her,” Rattray shared with Vows. “Trevin had been in the store waiting for a friend for almost ...

It's Easter Sunday, and as is customary — dare we say, obligatory — congregants will be observed (and hopefully lensed) taking their Sunday Best from ready-to-wear, run-of-the-mill to couture-level proportions in the name of fashion, healthy rivalry and the good Lord. Hovering about this heightened sartorial parade are the veritable stars of the show, the chapeaux that have been purchased expressly for this unmissable annual outing, unfurled like birds of paradise to sit, perched at ...
