Conan O'Brien, WHCD
On the red carpet with Conan O’Brien, host of the 2013 WHCD

Every year, I look forward to visiting DC for the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner (WHCD). Nicknamed ‘nerd prom’ it’s that special time of year, when celebrities take over Washington and the President gets to debut his stand up comedy routine poking fun at everything from the press, his Republican opponents, the popularity of Michelle’s bangs to, of course, himself. Hosted by Conan O’Brien at the Washington Hilton, it’s arguably DC’s social event of the year. Or for some, an excuse to wear a gown and mingle with your favorite celebrities. Spotted on the red carpet…

Lets get Clueless for a moment. Remember when Cher scanned her wardrobe via her monitor to pick out an outfit? At that moment I can’t imagine a girl on the planet that didn’t want her physical closet accessible digitally (that Cher was so beyond her years). Well over a decade later, mission accomplished. Enter Stylitics, the world’s leading digital closet platform where you can upload images from your closet

Flossing Made Easy with PHILIPS Sonicare AirFloss (Plus $10 off coupon)

sonicare airflossI have a confession. While I have wonderfully white teeth (something I regularly get compliments on), the truth of the matter is, while I’m a religious brusher, I’m a terrible flosser. And every dentist I’ve ever been to will vouch for it. That’s always the feedback — floss more. And with every new years resolution for improvement or health motivation speech I make to myself, I can not for the life of me get into a flossing routine (and the floss is on my nightstand just staring at me on a nightly basis).

We desperately need those wetlands, however. On Saturday we remember Superstorm Sandy, which ripped apart much of the South Shore south of Merrick Road. The wetlands, with hundreds of mudflats scattered throughout, act as giant sponges when the Atlantic Ocean rises up during storms like Sandy.

What do leather, latex, and neoprene have in common? Each of these disparate materials has inspired a visionary designer, and was transformed in turn—cut, draped, and sewn into fashion’s ultimate expression of beautiful simplicity: the little black dress.

Tribeca Film Festival Highlight… Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me

Elaine Stritch

It seems almost unfair that Tribeca Film Festival has barely started and I’ve already picked my favorite film of the festival. But I’m okay with that. Chiemi Karasawa’s documentary Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, was one of the most phenomenal films I’ve seen in a long time. If you had to ask me who Elaine Stritch was prior to last night, I would have said, she’s that famous broadway actress my mom’s a fan of, that plays Alec Baldwin’s mother on 30 Rock.
