This morning I woke up to find sunny skies and more warmth, and with them, air quality a little better than the choking levels it had previously been, so I set out to solve a few downtown mysteries. Mystery #1: What happened to the former Model.Citizen store at 247 E. Broadway? Answer: It's now House of Chuckles. It opened as a costume shop for Halloween, and hung on through the holidays as a ''gag gift store.'' Something they carry that you might not expect to see: an assor...  Read More

Fundraising Party at Our StoreLocal artist Max Dyan was simply scheduled to display her art at Our Store (358 S. 300 East), the secondhand shop that ''helps the People With AIDS Coalition of Utah become self-sustaining'' (according to Our Store's Web site, www.yourthriftalternative.org). But she decided to use the exhibit not just to sell her work, but also as an opportunity to do good. She asked other local artists to donate one piece each so that, in conjunction with Dyan's a...  Read More

How did Jordan propose?I had been out of town for a week visiting my best friend, Jess, in New York. Jordan picked me up from the airport in Salt Lake and I was exhausted and not expecting it at all. Jordan and I loaded my luggage into the trunk and as I was turning to get in the car Jordan got down on one knee in front of everyone. He made a big speech that I cannot recall at all with the exception of the end when he grinned huge and said, ''well, I love you... so what do ya ...  Read More

You know those movies based sometime in the future where people drive flying cars and wear space-age suits? Well, all we need now are the flying cars.Modurrn, a women's clothing line launched by Utah-based designer (and BYU alum) Brandon Barney, is making its first appearance in SLC this month.

I had never been to Hastur Games, not because I wasn't interested in seeing what they had in stock but because I was afraid I'd walk out without any of my paycheck left. In my youth, I collected more than my share of comics (a combination of ''X-Men'' and ''Cloak and Dagger'') and spent many afternoons immersed in role-playing games ''Dungeons and Dragons'' and ''Shadowrun'' with friends. Board games were how my mom and I spent evenings in my early years. I guess at heart I've always...  Read More

Designer jeans and discount fashion keep the two locations of Urban Blues bustling.Owners Courtney Gibbs and Lori Hollenbeck worked at Nordstrom before teaming up to bring budget-friendly styles to their own store in 2005. When I told Gibbs that I was searching for last-minute shopping deals for the fashionista, she commented that their store is suited to the recessionista. She perfectly illustrated these words by showing me hot accessories and an array of denim that retail f...  Read More

Utah's fashion scene is known for collecting national nods.

The best thing about today's fall fashion is there are no rules; anything goes. This season it's all about looking beyond the mainstream retail and developing your own creative approach to dressing and styling. So much of today's fashion is disposable, cheaply made and inexpensive. The stylish and savvy are shopping in a different way by replacing fashion throw-aways with carefully chosen classic or unique pieces. Local boutiques and vintage stores are the best places to fin...  Read More

Teen Choice Awards '09 that aired Monday night brought out celebs including The Jonas Brothers, perma-vamp Robert Pattinson and a blonde Kim Kardashian (Teen Choice -- isn't she famous for a sex tape?).

You can slice, you can dice, you can shred, chop and grate. Sound like the newest kitchen gadget?

It's July and it's couture time. I mean real couture, as in Haute Couture not Juicy Couture. I love the couture runway shows, all that visual stimulation and creative energy. With the economic downturn, I appreciate the elaborate and excessiveness of couture more than ever, and I want to see some crazy stuff, the outrageous things not intended to be worn anywhere but the runway.
