I saw my first super-market Santa this weekend. I’m excited. I don’t know what it is, but whenever the guy in the red coat and fluffy hat shows up outside County Market or Schnuck’s, I really feel like Christmas is coming. “Clang.” “Clang.” “Clang.” The steady beat of their jingle bell rings through the parking lots,... »

The biggest purchase to make for winter is probably a coat. It’s the one thing you wear continuously in and out of every day for the next couple winters. I am currently in search of a winter coat, and because of this, have been looking at designer takes for inspiration. Here are some of... »

There is probably nothing more comforting to me than a hot cup of coffee, a blanket and an old movie on a chilly day. Old movies have some of the best vintage fashions as the were in their original hay-day. Here are just a couple movies that do this well, hopefully some that you... »

My NFL game of the week is the Minnesota Vikings (10-1) at the NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals (7-4).

The Illini will have some nice freshmen coming in. Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson, Joseph Bertrand, Stan... »

The Yankees clinched their North American record 27th championship on Wednesday. The Yankees have, of course, the most titles in the Majors, with the Cardinals in second place, with 10 championships. They won it against the World Series champs a year ago trying to repeat, but failed. Before this year, the team that won... »

My NFL game of the week is the New England Patriots (7-3) at the New Orleans Saints (10-0) on Monday Night Football. The Saints have been just rolling and smashing their opponents one-by-one, and looking like a team that could go all the way to a Super Bowl and undefeated season. While the Patriots... »

Gosh, I’m so mad at the Bears right now. They’ve lost four of their last five, while Jay Cutler continues to falter! Of course, the Bears end up getting the worse part of the Kyle Orton-Jay Cutler deal. Kyle Orton is playing out-of-his-mind, while Cutler is playing very badly, with 17 picks (interceptions). I... »
