10 Fall Classics

Here are some classic pieces that are always in need! Make sure that you have any of these key items to make that outfit complete!

-Fitted Jacket
A great tailored jacket is fitted to show off feminine curves, not a baggy masculine style. A Fitted jacket will pair with everything from work trousers to jeans.

-White Shirt
Sounds basic, but a crisp, long-sleeve white shirt is a building block of your fall wardrobe.

-Black Pantsuit
A solid black pantsuit is the most flattering (head-to-toe monochromatic color) and the most classic. Look for a fabric with drape -- nothing too stiff or shiny -- preferably in wool (or wool with some stretch for comfort).

-Turtleneck
Stick with cozy, touchable materials for your turtleneck sweater because anything itchy or scratchy is unbearable on your sensitive neck area.

-Neutral Coat
There's a reason timeless fashion pieces retain their popularity: they go with most things in your closet and transcend the trends. The neutral coat -- especially in a camel color -- is an enduring fall classic because it has so many possibilities.

-Plaid
Plaid -- a perennial menswear print favorite -- translates very well to trousers, coats and jackets. Pair with everything from a solid shirt to a twinset.

-Tall Boots
Knee-high boots make great sense for fall because they let you get more wear out of everything from skinny jeans to miniskirts.

-Pearls
Feminine pearls are the perfect trend-proof accessory to compliment the more structured styles of fall. Wear gray pearls with black for a sexy tonal look; or choose layers of creamy white pearls worn with a simple black sheath dress for a perfect cocktail dress look.

-Sheath Dress
Match a sheath with a hem-length coat or wear it on its own with pumps; anyway you wear the classic, knee-length sheath dress it's a winner.

-Large Leather Bag
The leather bag doesn't have to be boring -- there are patent, exotic skins, quilting, bold hardware, bright colors and much more -- but the most classic looks have a ladylike feel to them and understated luxury.

Dating is an awkward two way street. There are many do’s and don’ts of the dating world and it’s finally about time to let it all out there for everyone to learn, use and enjoy! Who knew that a few key, simply rules would provide someone the knowledge to hit the dating scene with confidence.

Here are a few do’s of the dating world:

First of all, and possibly the most important, PLEASE be on time! Being punctual and looking your best is the right start to a date. Who wants to wait around for someone to show up?

Even though it is a date, at least still try and enjoy yourself. Sometimes finding the right person can be scary enough, but if you remember to keep an open mind you never know where it could take you.

Make sure to compliment your date. Not only do women, but men do take a lot of time and energy in getting ready for a date. Let’s be honest, we all like to hear a compliment from time to time.

It’s rude not to pay attention to your date when they are explaining what interests them. Be sure to ask questions and share insights to find out what you both have in common.

When the date has came to an end, be sure to be direct if your not interested in seeing them again. Lying and stringing someone along can be hurtful and make sure to be firm, but polite.

Here’s where it gets tricky. Some people do not know where the line is and how not to cross it. Now onto some don’ts of the dating world:

Please be advised that technology is pretty amazing these days. Do not call, text or email more than once without a reply. He will notice the one missed message even if you do it more than once. Desperation and instability are MAJOR turnoffs.

Once again, don’t be late. IT IS JUST RUDE. Enough said.

Don’t open too much of your life in the first date. Keep personal information such as home phone number or address to yourself. These details should be kept to yourself until you trust the person you are dating.

Do not ignore your own safety. Make sure that your cell phone is fully charged, inform others of your whereabouts and do not let yourself ever be coerced into going anywhere that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Finally, NEVER date a married person. If you honestly think that they will leave their significant other for you, be prepared for the worse. If they cheated on their spouse with someone else, don’t think twice that it couldn’t possibly happen to you.

With all these do’s and don’ts hopefully anyone can find the perfect person for them. Just take each day at a time and love will find its way.

Softball Day!

Wow! What a day!! Blue skies and green grass is the perfect setting for a softball game. It was the first time for me to step up to the plate and hit one for the team! I was so nervous because I was the lead off hiter in the very first game and I had not even ran one base outside of gym class. But, did I happen to mention that it was 6 years ago? I can't believe how sore I am! We played in the "Joseph Shorkey 1st annual Memorial Tournament" to benefit the Christopher Barrette Medical Education Fund of Children's Hospital. All proceeds went to this fund, which was amazing! I can't believe how well everyone played. Of course, I'm so worried that I wouldn't be able to hit a ball and so I went to the batting cages for the last two days! Oh ya, I bought pink Nike batting gloves. I'm finally going to admit it, I like pink. I'm not ashamed anymore... haha. It think that they brought me some kind of "power" because I didn't strike out... not, even, once! All, in all, I think that it was a very successful day for the families! I am truly honored that I was able to spend the day with them remembering the loved ones.

Smooth and Creamy

So, I was reading Yahoo! and I noticed that they did some research on chocolate :) So here is the rundown of all the chocolates that they had tasted that day... mmmm! After ready this I was so hungry for some CHOCOLATE!!!!

Milk chocolate gets dismissed as the immature younger sibling of dark chocolate, but we are not ashamed of loving it. When good, milk chocolate melts on the tongue like butter. Serious Eats tried ten brands of old-fashioned milk chocolate to see which were the best and which tasted like stale Halloween candy.

Best Overall
While Switzerland is probably a really nice country to visit, you could still be pretty satisfied just eating its Lindt bar ($2.69 for 3.5 ounces) from afar. Smooth and creamy, without tasting too rich, it's what you want in a milk chocolate bar. There's no weird notes or whiffs of anything off-tasting—it's just chocolate done right.
lindtusa.com

Another favorite was the Deutschland chocolate bar, Ritter Sport ($2.50 for 3.5 ounces). The four-by-four pattern of little chocolate pegs is very satisfying. Each of the sixteen squares is smooth, sweet but not too sweet, and easy to break off and share.
ritter-sport.com

Honorable Mention
There was something subtly almondy or cinnamony about the Ghirardelli ($2.29 for 3 ounces) that kind of worked. While the ingredients didn't list anything to match these suspicions, the intriguing smidge of flavor complemented the classic milk chocolate taste.
ghirardelli.com

Most Butter-Like
According to confectionery literature, good chocolate should melt on the tongue like butter, and this one did—or, hypothetically, how we imagine throwing a stick of golden fat on our tongues would be like. Imported from Belgium, the Trader Joe's brand ($1.79 for three 1.75 ounce bars) is not only cheap but enjoyably smooth and melty.
traderjoes.com

Best Organic
Paul Newman did so much for the food world, from egg-binging to soy crisp development. What a man. And of all the organic brands we tasted, Newman's Own Organics ($2.99 for 2.25 ounces) was by far the most edible. Luscious and moderately gooey, it was the right amount of sweet with a tiny hit of salt.
newmansownorganics.com/food_chocolate

Most Like Stale Halloween Candy
From the first whiff, we could identify this one. Whether it was the memories of "Fun Size" Halloween candy bars or those powdery instant cocoa packets, this was clearly Nestle ($1.59 for 5 ounces). Though more fake chocolate-tasting than chocolate-tasting, maybe we're fine with that. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
nestle.com

Most Like Dark Chocolate
Both Dagoba ($2.79 for 2 ounces) and Whole Foods 365 Brand ($2.49 for 3 ounces) pulled off the grainy bitterness that dark chocolate fans will appreciate. Are they ashamed of being milk chocolate? A little identity crisis here.
dagobachocolate.com; wholefoodsmarket.com

Most All-Around Funky Tasting
Whoa, there. For being the most expensive bar we tried, Green & Black's ($3.99 for 3.5 ounces) was a huge disappointment. Was that beef jerky? Something in there was bizarrely tangy and threw off the whole experience. More power to the company for using fair trade, genetically-unmodified, organically-grown cocoa, but this chocolate just ain't good.
greenandblacks.com

Most Belongs on a Graham Cracker
As long as there are campfires and microwaves, there will be Hershey's ($1.99 for 4.4 ounces). Though gritty and chalky in bar form, it transforms into a magical ooze when multiplied by intense heat, graham crackers, and marshmallows.

The Russell Bazaar Center

A world of shops with more than 150 specialty stores offering unique designerwear, jewelry, hand-made arts and crafts, housewares, food, gifts, bath and beauty products all under one roof. The Russell Bazaar is based on street markets found all over the world, except the Russell Bazaar is under one roof. It provides a terrific experience for shoppers and gives local artists, craftspeople, and many other types of small businesses a low-cost “storefront” in a lively environment. It’s generating excitement, jobs and economic opportunity at the same time. OnTheList.tv took a walk through to meet some interesting people and trust me... there were some interesting ones out there! I loved everything that we seen that day... especially the musician playing something nice for us to hear! Check out the video from that day!

The Russell Bazaar is located in the historic Russell Industrial Center, seven interconnected buildings designed by Albert Kahn and finished in 1925 on a 25-acre site near I-75 and I-94 in Detroit. Kefallinos purchased the Center in 2003 to create a community for small companies in creative industries. At the same time he saw an opportunity to build a unique shopping and entertainment destination for families that captures the unique creative and industrial spirit of Detroit and gives it a festive, international flair.

My first blog!

I'm so excited to start blogging about my daily life and travels! I have been so places within the last year that it would be good to start writing everything done... or atleast typing it into a computer now! Wow... where has technology gone? I mean watching the "old" but "new" BH 90210, since I've never seen any when I was younger, even the fashion can tell you that you are about 20 years behind. I'm about to be 24 years old tomorrow and I feel sometimes that I am stuck. Cell phones, mini cameras in your cell phones, video cameras the size of your hand... where did the time go? I rememeber, well I actually don't remember, when family was the most important thing to a person in the 50's. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be my age during those times. I know that I sometimes take things for granted and I may not necessarily appreciate all the good things in my life, however, values are different from then to now and sometimes I wish they weren't. Divorce rate in higher than ever and couples are NOT valuing their relationship with one another. It seems that it is just as easy or not even easier to get a divorce! I miss the simple times, the times that were really important and of course the slower pace of daily life. Does anyone read the newspaper anymore? Or is everything just internet/PDA based? Don't get me wrong. I will be the first to tell you that I LOVE technology... but sometimes it would be good to just get away from it all. What do you think?
