recommendation of the day: slvdr hoodies
my co-worker, matt, gets all the credit for this one because slvdr hoodies are a staple in his wardrobe, and I comment on them every time he wears one. this one is my favorite:
Hoody (see more hooded tops) they’re a little pricey, but they are soft, fitted, and detailed enough to make hoodies seem like they’re not such a lazy fashion choice after all. (sorry, matt.)

'one tree hill': what other shows can learn from...
This January 11th, One Tree Hill premiered its ninth and final season. I’m not going to pose and say that I’ve been a fan all nine years. I honestly can’t remember how much of it I watched when it premiered in 2003. In fact, much of what I knew about the series was this:
This moment proves two things: The show was ridiculous and the show knows not to take itself too seriously – both...

boy crazy: volume xxix: tom sturridge
sure, his best friend, robert pattinson, gets most of the attention, but i’ve had my eye on mr. sturridge — not to be confused with another talented brit, jim sturgess — since his role in 2009’s pirate radio. i just reacquainted myself with him while selecting a random film on netflix, waiting forever. well, maybe not so random since i selected it because of his...

recommendation of the day: Bobeau Asymmetrical...
after reading others’ reviews on this item, i realize the fit might not be for everyone, but my sister let me borrow hers for the high holidays this year (synagogue gets cold!), and i just had to get my own, so i ordered it in three different colors! the fleece material is super-soft, the shape is more flattering than a pancho, and it’s just a nice basic to have around the home and...
recommendation of the day: vidigal reserva
i was getting into a bit of a malbec rut (guggenheim is probably my favorite), so one of the lovely men at the sutton wine shop recommended this vidigal reserva over a month ago, and i’ve bought it for almost every wine-appropriate occasion since. i don’t know enough about wine to describe it in any sort of sophisticated way, so i’ll just say that it’s smooth, delicious,...

recommendation of the day: sally hansen salon...
Although I rarely dispense any sort of fashion or style advice on here, I felt the urge to post about my recent experience with Sally Hansen Salon Effects polish strips because, well, so many people have been asking me about them (including one of my manicurists!) I was given my box of “Check it Out” style polish strips by a friend who knew that I had wanted to try them and am obsessed...

First, I must apologize to my loyal reader(s) for not blogging last week’s episode. I’d love to say I was simply basking in the afterglow of Cappie and Casey’s reunion, but alas, I was basking in the arrival of my Verizon iPhone. See?
But, I’m back.
In this week’s episode — excuse me, in this…

Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Is love enough? Why is Ryan Gosling’s acting always the most satisfying part of every movie he’s in? These are the questions I asked myself leaving the Lincoln Plaza Cinema after seeing...

scott pilgrim: nbcu employee?
One of my co-workers, Ken, came into my office this morning, asking me one simple question: “You like Michael Cera, right?” Um, a little bit. (I obviously then showed him the picture I have of Cera from EW’s 2008 Photo Issue hanging in my office.) He then asked me if I ever called the number shown in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Not only had I not, but I don’t even think...
