Something is brewing in Pittsburgh, and it’s not another winter storm. In fact, it’s still pretty cold, but much more pleasant and rather tasty. Craft beer has been taking over the city, what seems to be by the can, bottle, and/or draft. Many new small business breweries have been opening here and all around us in Steel City....
Am I the only one who gets excited for a beautiful font? I send certain friends franticly excited emails with links to new fonts I find and I don't ever get the response I was hoping for. What's better than a great font that makes just about anything look ten times sexier? When you find out that someone...
There's a fireplace. There's a cozy room that's dimly lit by an oversized vintage lamp. There's a typewriter sitting on a handmade bench. Then, mixed into it all, hang works of art for two solo exhibits in the gallery. I'm not talking about someone's living room or house party. No, this describes the space created by Sarah Humphrey,...
Walk into downtown restaurant Butcher and the Rye and you will immediately know that you stepped into something special. Every detail is accounted for. My personal favorite are the rabbit shaped bronze casted hooks underneath the bar counter. Go upstairs and look at the bookshelf- it's like an 17th Century scientific library. While you sip on your ultra...
It may be a little belated happy birthday, but last Thursday the Olsen twins turned 27. The Olsens have been in many of our favorite childhood shows, songs, life lessons, and more. Twenty seven years later they've really come a long way from their Full House days taking turns playing Michelle. They've given us 27 years of seeing...
We live in an age where everything is created through the pushing of buttons or the movement of gears. While we relish in today's technology boom, we mustn't forget how it used to be done. Back in the day, it was typical to draw or paint what needed to be visually communicated, thus was the beginning of fashion illustration....
You don't have much more time to view an amazing exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity tells the story of Impressionism and how it was influenced by fashion. It runs from February 26-May 27, 2013....so make sure to make plans ASAP! During the time when Impressionism developed and became relevant by Parisian artists, the...
Ah, art - the ever-changing, impossible to define, subject to much criticism, necessary frivolity of life. Both toddlers and Picasso have made it, and I, like many others, have a lot of questions about it. What makes it valuable? What should I pay for it? Is it a wise investment? Is this piece even good? The best way...
It was only a matter of time before the woman named the most powerful in fashion by Forbes magazine would take her magic touch from ready-to-wear to interior design. Her signature prints that define her global luxury brand translate onto not just dresses but to entire suites in London. European luxury is most often found in the history...
Markus Klinko and Indrani both made sure to note that they are opposites in our interview, and this is true. They took their phone calls separately. I divided the questions in half after being told that they wouldn’t both be on the line. Markus, a former classical musician turned playboy photographer, was outspoken, candid, and lively. Indrani, a...
