My favorite kind of wedding to attend is, by far, the destination wedding. While an open bar is never not fun, it's even better if the drinks are located in a country that takes a passport to get into. And a wedding is a genuine excuse to blow your budget...

The most fun I've ever had shopping is in the souks in the old city of Marrakech. The souks have been a bargainer's mecca for hundreds of years, and I imagine a Victorian version of myself being just as enchanted with the wares as I was. There's something about the...

While this is a really lovely image, this is the "old" version of natural beauty - Just add flowers! But let's challenge our images of what beauty is - young, white, unmarked. Image via Flickr User Mijori

I know I want my next car to be electric, and while I'm waiting, I've noticed that the EV infrastructure is slowly-but-surely popping up all over. My favorite grocery store, the Whole Foods in Darien, CT, already has a plethora of spaces up front...

The word "cleanse" is bandied about as if we were all absolutely filthy, running around with drippy, dirtied noses and grime under our fingernails. But there's the rub; though human beings have never had access to so many cleaning products, and kept such a distance from bacteria and viruses, we...

The best part about the fete hosted by Lexus Hybrid Living and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) last week wasn't the gorgeous people or the free-flowing cocktails, or the serious NYC party vibe at the Skylight West....

During my most recent trip across the pond, I stopped by London to check out London Fashion Week and visit my best friend, Jenn, who lives in my second-favorite city in the world...

The BP oilspill is an unmitigated disaster, underestimated by everyone from British Petroleum to the United States government. The only group of people not downplaying its destruction and long-term effects are those living along the Gulf coast, who know that their beaches and waterways...

Abercrombie and Fitch has long walked the 'adored by teens, hated by adults' line, what with controversies sparked by their scantily-clad (and strangely hairless) models and ugly-people-need-not-apply hiring practices. But now they've pissed off the kids, who are...

When Bill O'Reilly covered the attention-getting campaign, "UnF*ck the Gulf" on his show recently (which is raising money to clean up tar balls and other lovely elements of the oil spill, and prevent future such atrocities), he used a classic right-wing tactic: deflect, distract, divert. I have another...

First of all, YES, labels are stupid. I've been called everything from a 'tall, slim girl' when visiting a South Carolina diner to "curvy" by a NYC fashion editor within weeks of each other, proving that not only is body shape in the eye of the beholder, but so are...

Last week I got the chance to tour around 30 Rock (not the show silly, but NBC's actual offices in NYC) to see what Big Media's doing about green. And while I was definitely impressed with all the Green is Universal initiatives like LED lights, a serious reduction in...
