26 days sober, 18 more to go. If you’re Catholic and detail-oriented, you’ll know that takes me through Good Friday which happens to be my husband’s birthday and the start of our honeymoon. So I’ll be having a stiff drink…

Borders, Goodbye and Good Luck
My neighborhood Borders, the one at Union Square, is shutting down for good. Bright orange 60-70% off signs are posted on the windows. Everything must go. The non-functioning cafe was full of bare bookshelves. The third floor was closed. In…
Fashion Friday Book Review
I finished reading Mireille Guiliano’s book Women, Work & the Art of Savoir Faire. Mireille is the former CEO of Veuve Clicquot; she also wrote the bestselling book French Women Don’t Get Fat. I don’t usually read advice books, but…

Mark Your Calendars: March 31, 2012
