Cracking the Office Dress Code

Posted on 17. May, 2012 by admin.

Grab your handbag; grab your iPad; grab your flip-flops? Whoa, not so fast. Dressing for the office may be a little more relaxed now than it was in the days of padded shoulders and stiff suits, but it is still important to look polished and put together when it comes to work wear, says Jenny Levin, author of Harper Bazaar’s “Great Style: Best Ways to Update Your Look.

Dancing for El Pasoans has always been a popular attraction. Whether it’s going to Juarez to dance the latest Cumbia, or whether it’s going to a Hip-Hop nightclub where the music might be different, but, no less enjoyable.

Posted on 10. May, 2012 by admin.

Three years ago at Talladega Superspeedway, after Brad Keselowski held his ground on the final lap and got his first career Sprint Cup victory (while Carl Edwards, after contact between the two of them, flew into the catchfence), many speculated that Keselowski was destined for stardom.

Providence Memorial Hospital: An El Paso Institution turns 60

Posted on 10. May, 2012 by admin.

In 1952 El Paso – drive-in theaters were still in vogue, girls wore petticoats and bobby sox to school, cars wore fender-skirts, but, more importantly, El Paso gave birth to a long-lasting institution that focused on El Paso’s health needs – Providence Memorial Hospital.

The Kate Effect

Posted on 02. May, 2012 by admin.

Think back a year ago, and little did we know that walking down the royal aisle in Westminster Abbey was a British style maker who would quickly become a fashion icon, admired the world over for her easy elegance.

F Sport transforms Lexus IS350 into a real gem

Posted on 02. May, 2012 by admin.

It’s no secret that I have always liked the Lexus IS series. I’m not sure if it’s because the rear-wheel drive compact sport sedan is fun to drive, or because it’s so ‘different’ when compared to the rest of the cars in the Lexus lineup. Or maybe with its $33,595 starting price it is the only Lexus that has a chance at fitting into my budget?

Posted on 02. May, 2012 by admin.

Al Borrego is a natural – artist, that is. Borrego didn’t create his first painting until June, 2007, when he was 51 years old. He hadn’t once touched a brush or a canvas before then. He took a couple of art classes in school, but that was for credit, he says with a chuckle. Today, Borrego is one of El Paso’s better known artists, focusing on animals, but branching out into other subjects, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, and the canals in Venice, Italy.

Ever grabbed a designer dress out of your mom’s closet? Tossed on one of her cashmere sweaters? Or borrowed a treasured Chanel handbag? Chances are many of us do occasionally share in some of our mother’s more stylish moments, but the reality of it is that more often than not, we each have our own sense of fashion that is very different than the older generation. Remember those days of matching “mother-daughter” dresses? Yes, we were too young to protest!
