To Eat: Char-Grill
A North Carolina classic, Char-Grill has been providing hamburger happiness since 1959 when the first one opened on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. The experience is consistent and one of a kind: Walk up to the window. Fill out your order ticket. Stick it through the slot, and after a couple flames and few minutes, out comes your custom, made-to-order hot, deliciousness. Although the times have changed and the prices have gone up a little bit, the simple menu has endured through... Read More
To Use: Skeleton Key USB
I fell in love with these skeleton key USB flash drives the moment I saw them. They evoke style, elegance and technology – all wrapped up into one useful device. You can use them as office décor by hanging them on hooks. Never again will you have to be the lanyard-wearing conference attendee with USB around your neck. A simple silk ribbon could make this tech gadget double as chic geek jewelry any day. You can purchase the Clé Key USB with 2 GB of memory online at byAMT. Read More
To wear: Michael Michael Kors Camden Sandals
These MICHAEL Michael Kors Camden sandals are sky high and gorgeous. I’ve been prancing around the house in them for a about a month and finally got to show them off to the world on NYE. The leather is very soft and supple, yet they have an edgy look to them. You can wear them in the winter too with tights. For me, the best part is that they make me eye level with some of my friends. You can check out the latest collection at MichaelKors.com Read More

That’s what she was for the first time today…but not really… Alright, get ready for a formal admission…. Okay, ready? Now, wait for it…Are you waiting? Just kidding.

It’s watching the most visible part private, inner human motivations. Most... Read More
To make: album wall
Everyone and I mean everyone should have an album wall. Music art is a fantastic visual representation of sound. Plus, you can switch it up. This is what mine currently looks like. And here it is from an angle. Raleigh designer JT Moore has a pretty nifty one at his place too. He used a 2 x 5 pattern. You can see it his take on it from these photos from the left and from the right. And if I ever have a long hallway, I’m going to hang them 2 x 2 all the way down. (Maybe I’ll... Read More

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
First, a tiny little warning. This is not your typical end of year/beginning of new year recap where I will rehash best and most awesome of the best posts ever. Nah, this is more along the lines of something changed even though I don’t feel any different, so maybe I should reflect on this. Have to say, I went through a lot of changes in 2010, but the high points wouldn’t be nearly as fulfilling if they weren’t experienced without the bottom-of-the-bucket type... Read More
