How Do You Feel About Lychees?
Spring

Lychees: Love Them or Hate Them?

In honor of the new season, Pinkberry, the frozen yogurt chain, has released a limited-edition frozen yogurt flavor: lychee.

In honor of the new season, Pinkberry, the frozen yogurt chain, has released a limited-edition frozen yogurt flavor: lychee. One of China's most treasured fruits, lychees are small, jewel-like nuggets with a creamy white jelly-ish flesh. While I've made a cocktail with canned lychees before, I'm the first to admit, I don't often cook or eat lychees. Not because I dislike them, simply because they are somewhat unfamiliar. How do you feel about the red-skinned fruit?

Spring Peek: Luxotica

Spring Peek: Luxotica

Have I ever mentioned Spring is my favorite fashion season?
by

Have I ever mentioned Spring is my favorite fashion season? Hey — California girl here. It's prime time to sit back and start assembling your Spring wish list. Give your wallet a break. Get to the gym. Get ready because this Spring is brimming with Luxotica.

One of my anticipated trends of the season, designers took walkabouts on the wild side via mixed prints, sexy cuts, embellishments and embroidery, luxe materials, and punchy colors. Some standouts include Rebecca Taylor's highly femme hippie, Louis Vuitton's Parisian tribal parade, and Diane Von Furstenberg's "Rock Goddess" (I will always fawn over those head garlands). Where to begin? Rampant prints — see Emanuel Ungaro's insanely Fab gown — out-of-control jewelry, and lots of skin.

A Drizzly Damp Spring 2009 for Burberry

Christopher Bailey must really enjoy a rainy spring day as Burberry's Spring 2009 collection had a color palette as chipper as a raincloud.

Christopher Bailey must really enjoy a rainy spring day as Burberry's Spring 2009 collection had a color palette as chipper as a raincloud. Gray frocks, gray pants, gray jackets, gray hats, even gray socks made us feel as if we were in some very glamorous Charles Dickens novel. Oliver Twist and some terrible porridge were not far from our mind. If it weren't for the bits of yellow here and there and a bit of dusty pink we might have despaired that this spring collection would ever lead us to summer.

And yet we simply loved the collection. Tough mix and match separates, slouchy silhouettes (but not too loosey goosey) and some fantastic accessories make this the best merchandised collection of Milan. The exotic leather squares that made up the necklaces on so many of the looks were a particular favorite and sure to be in every editorial round up of best spring accessories.

Bailey is clearly channeling some sort of drab climate, whether its physical or economic, and that acknowledgement of the situation is sure to make consumers feel understood. And that kind of understanding leads to the loosening of purse strings because after all Burberry knows things are tight, that we are sad, that we can't get it up for something frivolous. But spending on drab basics is totally OK even in the worst of times. Which makes this collection the best of times.

Exotic Fruit or City?

Since you enjoyed the tomato variety or nail polish quiz so much, I thought it would be fun to do a similar exam.

Since you enjoyed the tomato variety or nail polish quiz so much, I thought it would be fun to do a similar exam. This time, I've researched the names of exotic fruits. Some of them sound strangely like cities. You have to identify which names are exotic fruits and which are cities. Sound fun? Get started!
