Father’s Day is fast approaching (Sunday, June 16th) and we’ve compiled a list of gift ideas, local activities, and weekend getaways to celebrate the fathers in your life. Check it out!

If you haven't heard about her, Fara Homidi is one of New York's top makeup artists. Fara Homidi Beauty has the highest standards of ingredients, formulation and respect for the environment. The quality of her products are first class and the packaging is gorgeous!

Don prefers to paint live, and not from a photograph. When someone is sitting for him, “the real personality traits come out, and you have to put that in the painting.” A portrait can take up to six months to complete; he’s not churning them out. “The sittings are part of the experience.”

I always say that my only regret in life is not studying abroad in college. But truth be told—it’s not wearing enough sunscreen. I wish I had lathered on the sunscreen as a child instead of opting for baby oil.

For a most special commemorative item, consider a custom lacquer clutch with your new name, initials, or perhaps his & hers crystal appliques. These clutches were inspired by the jewel box handbags of the 1950s, so beautiful they double as art when perched tabletop.

Mystic BBQ is a great spot to grab a drink at the bar, have dinner with family and friends, or even host a private event – it’s that spacious. My husband always jokes that I’m more into the ambiance and vibe than the food, which is true. But both are good at this place – and there’s outdoor seating, too.

I had an amazing college experience. And if you have kids, I know you want that for them, too. Yet, the sticker shock of the cost of higher education can be daunting. So, on 5|29, let’s review the 529 education savings accounts with a few commonly asked questions.

Your child has turned 18, they’re going to college or trade school, or starting a job. Huzzah! Good job parents. But what about their information, grades, finances now?

This month is typically crazy for our family, as I know many of us joke about Maycember, but THIS May is next level! I’m lucky to have two kiddos with May birthdays, but this week my oldest, Lilly turns 18 and we are hosting her graduation/birthday party! 

By far the most beautiful drive in the DMV, the George Washington Memorial Parkway is a gem full of scenic stops, wildlife, and activities. We’ve compiled a list of must-visit places along the GW Parkway from on-land activities to water adventures. 

It’s not even officially summer so I feel a little bad about sharing this lookbook since we call it the “Pre-Fall” delivery. The items on these pages are not very fall-like until you get to the end of the book; they really have more of a summertime feel.

Shopping for a dad can be tricky, particularly if said dad insists he needs nothing. If this sounds like a dad you’re celebrating this Father’s Day, it’s your lucky day. We’ve worked extra hard this year to bring in some gifts that will not disappoint.

Whether the project is a large-scale addition, kitchen renovation, general construction, or a small bath remodel, all projects fit into the procurement, pre-construction and construction phases to ensure attention to detail at every step.

“Storytelling is so important to me, digging in and explaining the art and science behind architecture. All of my experiences in operations and comms led me here, and I’m so grateful for my career and to work for a local small business, where I’m raising my family.”

Have you ever thought about sunscreen for your hair? If you haven’t, you’re not alone! Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need sun protection to stay healthy and beautiful, too.

Over the week we have featured our favorite items from The Shoe Hive and The Hive. Now it’s Yellow Jacket's turn, and it is with great sadness that I have to announce that it isn’t just the start of the spring sale; it’s our Going Out Of Business Sale.

New furniture is an investment, and it takes time to find the right piece. There are lots of things to consider – and one of the most important is whether you want to slipcover or upholster. I’m sharing the pros and cons of each to help you make that decision.

Madeline picked some of her favorite pieces that she can’t believe made it to markdowns, along with items that already found their way into her closet this spring. Check ‘em out!

I had walked by Ms. Moxie’s Moonshop more than a few times and was always curious about what was inside. The name kind of intrigued me, too. Did they sell crystals? Was it a hippie shop and did they howl at the moon?

We have all been there…when your home starts to feel dated, dull, or lacking a fresh vibe but you don’t want to spend money on renovations. This is where you can make wallpaper your best friend.
