Can one country be so different that you feel like you’re in a foreign land after a 2 hour flight? That was my first thought upon arriving in New Orleans in late December. It reminded me of San Juan, something other friends have pointed out before. Must be the palm trees and the weather and…

Frugalista: The Why and The How
You’ve seen the recent commercials calling for “Maxxonistas?” I’m not one to take things to the maxx. Especially because it ends with two ‘xx’ and the store lacks a coherent internal organization system (and my left brain craves these kinds of things). Rather, I am a frugalista. I wear the sweater my grandmother made for…
Fashion’s Night Out: DC Style

Ms.Vedral Goes to Washington: Flats are for…
About a year ago, when I first began telling my friends and family that I was considering a move from my native New York City to Washington DC, the first argument against it–without fail–would be “but you have so much style.” I’ll admit, I didn’t disagree with their concern. I had been told by Washingtonians…

Ms. Vedral Goes To Washington: Tru Confession from a Wannabe Desi Girl
I love South Asian culture. I love it. I can’t get enough of the food (Saag Paneer? Chicken Korma Masala? Naan? Yes please). My favorite type of dancing (besides hip hop) is bhangra and I typically have no less than 10 bhangra songs on my iPod at any given time. If it wasn’t completely weird…

Each one is completely different and different people will have their own favorites (after all, you’re a beautiful, unique snowflake, aren’t you?).

Shecky’s: Take a Number, You Know They’ve Taken Yours
What the WHAT is Shecky’s? From the ads and emails for Shecky’s Girls’ Night Out that appeared in my inbox for the past few weeks, I found myself thinking that I was paying for a ticket to a fun and light-hearted girls’ night out last week. You know, the kind with cocktails and laughing and…
