Brunch on Me

September 30, 2010
By Katrice MVL Reader: I'm meeting a friend in D.C. on Sunday for brunch ... I'll also be meeting a few of her friends (whom I've never met before). The place is pretty trendy and contemporary ... What should I wear? MVL: Brunch with friends is such a fun outing to dress for because you can be as trendy or classic as you like. The object...

Smoky Bones

Barbecue September 25, 2010
By Katrice The smell of an open pit always conjures a taste memory of my Uncle D's barbecue. His specialty: a sweet and smoky sauce, just thick enough to compliment the meat without overpowering it. Because the truth is, the flavor of his ribs and chicken is so distinct that you could easily opt to bypass the sauce. Ahhhh. Well, sadly, he is miles away in...

Sunday Best

September 22, 2010
By Katrice  As with the rest of our wardrobing, it's time to start transitioning from summer to fall attire for church. I especially love getting dressed on Sundays. One of the most profound signatures of the black church is that we look forward to coming out in our very best ... I guess it was probably my introduction to fashion before I even...

Going the Distance

September 19, 2010
By Katrice  MVL Reader, Sabrina: So, about 4 months ago I was inspired and treated myself to several pairs of fabulous shoes. Three-, four- and five-inch pumps and wedges in all colors. They are sexy - but they hurt like crazy (some more than others). I have purchased different variations of insole and shoe support, but some I have put aside for weekend/2 to...

Paradise Comes to You

Spa Flow September 18, 2010
By Katrice I posted about some of my favorite spas around Atlanta back in April, and I'm back to add one more to the list. Yesterday I enjoyed my first in-home massage, courtesy of Spa Flow. Before hearing of the mobile massage company, I hadn't even considered the possibility of having a relaxing treatment at home where I could get the full benefit of it...

Fab Find: Mybagandshoes.com

handbags September 14, 2010
By Katrice Ever since first hearing of www.mybagandshoes.com, I've been anticipating the site's full launch. Well, it has finally happened and the Ireland-based company's stock does not disappoint. Going live with a modest but exceptional selection of goods, I am confident that I will be hanging around the site from now until. To celebrate, I've already started a wishlist. ...

FNO: The Goods

FNO Atlanta September 10, 2010
By Katrice Well, Fashion's Night Out in Atlanta came and went with little fanfare on my chosen shopping route. People were out ... and they were shopping, but I couldn't quite tell whether they were out because Vogue had ordained it or if they had planned to hang out at Atlantic Station tonight. I stopped by Sugga's Thrift Boutique first, and was glad I did...

If you're going to be out, I'd love to hear where you'll be on Friday. And be sure to check back here for all of the epic MVL details.  Sugga’s...
