DRESS Customer of the Week: Lisa Grodin…Grammy Nominee
Every once in awhile we at DRESS get lucky and our customers send us a great photo from their special occasion. This year we got our first Grammy Nominee…Lisa Grodin a violinist nominated twice for her work with El Mundo for “Best Small Ensemble Performance”, and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra for “Best Orchestral Performance”. She looked amazing and shows the power of COLOR on the Red Carpet.
Please check out live CBS coverage of El Mundo (including Lisa) at: http://www.cbs.com/shows/grammys/video/?play=true&pid=Qf6M0lVZbQOf1lAwugsKEq8_jxq5Rogu
You can also purchase El Mundo “The Kingdoms of Castille” on iTunes.
James and the Giant Cupcake
As you know cupcakes are all the rage and everytime you turn around there’s another shop popping up on a corner or someone selling some special recipe out of a foodtruck that you can only locate if you have Twitter. But even with the plethora of choices not all cupcakes are…well…created the same (yes I’m a C.C. – Cupcake Connoisseur…just ask my love handles) but my friends let me tell you, I have found the best ones in Oakland made by Eurydice at James & the Giant Cupcake (Yes, her name is Eurydice and she really, really is as cool as her name.)
Some of you might have already tasted her insanely good creations but for those who haven’t you’ve got to go try at least one at her new shop in the Golden Triangle located off of San Pablo. My recommendation is her signature: Sea Salt and Carmel. O.M.G. Salty, sweet, chocolaty goodness at its best.
