Rock the Look: Leather
Previously worn only by tattooed
biker chicks, leather jackets have
become a must-have item for fall. Stylish
and comfortable, the leather jacket is
the perfect substitute for that tired North

Top Seven Reasons Not To Get Blackout Drunk This 4th of July
Here, take this quiz:

That said, if you are planning to celebrate our nation’s birthday this weekend, I hope you do it in style. Here are some patriotic concoctions that will make you declare your independence…from your dignity, that is.

In a punch bowl (preferably a clear one so you can display your creatively festive colors), combine a 750 mL bottle of red or white table wine with a cup of peach schnapps, two cups of pineapple juice and one cup of lemon-lime soda. Add more peach schnapps for a sweeter punch, or more juice if you don’t want it super-strong (baby). Read More »
