Don’t Sell Yourself Short

As a women, you hate to be obvious.  No one wants to be like that girl in 10th grade that knew she had the best body and always wanted to get into her bikini.  Annoying.  However, as a woman, you also can’t help but like yourself in certain fashion items, and you ladies know one of our favorite things to wear…shorts!  You have to wait anxiously for Easter every year, but it’s the final countdown and time to pick the shorts of 2010.  Love these from J.Crew.  The have some shape while still looking pretty casual.

The Ides of…Beer?

“Cæsar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca” (btw, to see an entire modern dance routine based on this soliloquy, you can find the home video of elaney and Reader Isa in black leotards circa 1996). Today is the Ides of March!!  But more like “the Ides of Beer” according to the folks at the Monday Night Brewery.

Atlantans, meet Jonathan, Joel, and Jeff.

These three guys have been brewing beer in Atlanta for over three years, and every few Monday nights they gather people of all walks of life to enjoy their latest brews.  A few weeks ago, the boys hosted “Ladies’ Night” and gave personal tours to quite a few elaney girls.  And we have to say, we were very impressed.  Who knows how in the world they figured out how to create their own brewery (maybe going to Harvard, UVA, and Emory helped) but even beyond that, it’s really good beer!

Tonight they are hosting “the Ides of Beer,” so check them out!  Buy their beer and get ready to see them be very successful.  We are excited to say that we knew them before “weekends were overrated.”

Just a Little Girl from South Georgia

Growing up in South Georgia, we thought that “designer” clothes came from the Gap and J.Crew (and to get J.Crew clothing – you had to drive to the a).  Until one day, our senior year of high school, our fabulous Aunt / Reader Dolly brought us a ripoff of the classic Kate Spade handback she had bought on the streets in NYC.

“Something has changed within me…something is not the same…”  - Elphaba, Defying Gravity, Wicked

Fast forward to years later and Kate Spade still rubs us the right way.  Her clothing line is so girlie and feminine – we love!  However, the pricing is not so off the streets of NYC….

Best Rainy Movies Of All Time

Everyone has days when you wake up, hit your alarm to snooze, skip spin class, and wear your hair wavy.  As Atlantans know, today’s weather makes you want to listen to Belle & Sebastian, drink hot tea, and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies during the day.  And do laundry. (loooove to do laundry.  Love the way clean laundry feels, smells, love the way the house feels when the washing machine and dishwasher are running.  Love it love it love it).  But alas, work calls.  However, if you WERE at home and COULD watch a movie during the day, what are your favorite movies to watch over and over and over again?
