Wow, what a week! Super Bowl came and went, and we got a good halftime show (first one in a long time). I was going for the Patriots (hey, I’m a photographer so of course I am going to root for the guy that’s married to the supermodel) but congrats to the Giants. The Texans will be there next year. In other sports news the new Astros owner has been back and forth with the proposed name change for the [...]

Color Chameleon*

Who would have thought colored denim would be the next twist for this fashion icon. And although at first we were hesitant, the hues and perfect length have us head over heels for this evolution.

A classic chambray shirt speaks to any age group. Look put together in this faded version that will lend you a thousand uses. Chambray Shirt @ J.Crew

The love (not just us – it’s everywhere!) for colored denim in this ultra-flattering length continues. This shocking color is [...]

Welcome back, guys. Round 2 here as we run thru our tour of 2012 but first – what a week it has been. Sadly one of Houston’s oldest lounges, Vintage Lounge burned down last Wednesday. It has been a staple off of Shepherd since 2006, especially for their Monday nights. Owners say that they will rebuild and come back better than ever. With a loss comes an exciting new opening in Downtown. Located at 420 Main Street, Georgia’s Farmer’s Market [...]

I LOVE it when something that is so incredibly good for you tastes equally as delish! Lucky Layla Farms creamy drinkable yogurts are handcrafted by in-house yogurt artisans (really) and feature real fresh fruit. Available at Whole Foods.

This pen completes me. I love knowing it’s in my purse, it makes me smile. Crayon pen at Kuhl-Linscomb.

PLAYING WITH CINEMA It’s February and what always pops into my mind this month is “Black History Month.” Not everyone buys into it being just a month: You can meet Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a 29-year-old African American filmmaker, who is on a cross-country campaign to expand our study of black history in this month’s pick for HoustonPBS’s “Community Cinema” (www.communitycinema.org) series, presented in conjunction with Documentary Alliance (www.documentaryalliance.org). More Than a Month airs 2/22, 7pm, at Rice Cinema (www.film.rice.edu) and [...]

February is dedicated to love… or more specifically, the pursuit of love and the potentially fevered last-minute search for Valentine bouquets and gifts. In the sage words of love’s most sonorous troubadour (Barry White): “Too much of anything is not good for you, baby.” But while overdosing on Godiva has unfortunate repercussions for your waistline, there’s no such thing as too much art in our opinion! Take this month to celebrate those artists who make you swoon.
