Fall season is here. The best time of the year, indeed. And you know what this means for a lot of folks: sporting events are in full effect! Here in the DC area, there are plenty of sport bars. But what about a sports bar and restaurant with Topgolf Swing Suites? Such a place exist and it's called Tom's Watch Bar. photo c/o John Robinson via The List Are You On It photo c/o Tom's Watch Bar I was invited their newest location at National Harbor and it was a soft launch event. Y'know, as much as I really LOVE to watch certain sport games (looking at you NBA, tennis, gymnastic ..read more

The weather here in the DC area has been cooler than normal (no complaints from me!) This Misook cardigan was the right choice for a recent outdoor happy hour. Initially, I wanted to wear it with blue ripped jeans but something about a pair of straight faded black jeans against the white cardigan with sharp black applique spoke to me. I guess it's the vibe of preppy + casual. Hence why I finished the look with faux fur lined black mules.  And this is what Misook wants potential shoppers to know - yes, they're a luxury brand but they're a wearable luxury brand. Meaning, a high qua ..read more

Everyone's favorite red carpet fashion show (well, everyone who loves and/or appreciates FASHUN) happened on the 1st Monday of May. The theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. Basically, if the well-known person chooses to, they'll dress in homage of Mr. Lagerfeld (see above photo of Ke Huy Quan in Dior Men for example) or the many houses he oversaw including Balmain, Chanel, and Fendi. Compared to years past, this red carpet was just okay. No "WOW!" moment. Or even a viral/watercooler moment...besides the cockroach who made an appearance. Let's get into some of my favorites: Cardi ..read more

I was invited to have dinner at Parlour Victoria, a fine dining seafood tavern located inside the Moxy DC (City Center neighborhood). After taking the obligatory outside photo, I stepped inside to the sound of groovy music. It turned out to be the live entertainment for the evening. Kevin Koa Parlour Victoria, a remodeled two-story row house, immediately felt cozy and luxurious. A winding staircase divides the two floors and exposed brick walls exude warmth. The seating areas are a nice mix of chairs and cushy couches while vintage inspired mirrors adorn the wall ..read more

Sweatshirts and hoodies with a twist? Count me in! It should be noted, I don't immediately gravitate towards casual, sporty looks. In fact, I'm still, to this day, trying to perfect an athleisure look that'll work for me. There's only one pair of tennis shoes (what up Atoms!) in my closet. One.  During the 2020 Shutdown, I realized there were no sweatshirts in my closet either. None. I'm now happy to report I have a grand total of...two. I have a hoodie purchased back in 2017 at the Backstreet Boys Vegas residency concert. Thankfully, I've added another hoodie to my spa ..read more

An indoor mini golf experience catered to the 21+ crowd? Say less. Let's get into Swingers.  Deeming themselves 'the crazy golf club', Swingers is mini golf with a party atmosphere. And you can visit without even playing golf! It's a great destination for after work, night out with a group of friends or a date night. There are beautifully decorated bars with top shelf drinks, numerous aesthetically pleasing lounge sections, live DJs, a stage-like photo booth, and , the "crazy" installations at the golf courses. Starting off in London, Swingers expanded locations to NYC and DC. In ..read more

This movie is gonna have a lot of discussions on social media platforms. Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to attend A Thousand and One movie screening before its release date. The movie follows the 15 year journey of a mother and her son in New York City, beginning with her release from prison to her son preparing for college. Inez the mother and Terry the son. Both raised in the foster care system...and the NYC streets. And Inez wants to forcibly change that trajectory. Their journey is not a smooth one. Filled with so many emotions, so many obstacles, and so many struggles - it ..read more

My love for denim on denim aka the Canadian Tuxedo is everlasting. Honestly, truly. It'll never ever ever go out of style in this home of 1. When done right, denim on denim can look chic and effortless. If you really think about it, denim on denim is basically monochromatic. Which leads me to the most popular take on this trend: wearing similar denim shades. It usually gives off a "complete" look. Doesn't matter if the denim bottoms are skirts, shorts, or jeans (2015) - if the top is around the same denim color, you're good.  Top: Old Navy Skirt: Fashion Collective ..read more

Thuso Mbedu in Louis Vuitton Yo. Tell me why one of my favorite awards show ALL OF A SUDDEN decided NOT to telecast live on any broadcast or cable network. But instead, to stream. Grrr. It was a struggle bus trying to find where I can watch the show. Alas, it wasn't meant to be (unless I had Hulu Live or DirecTV Live). However, I do know who won thanks to the countless entertainment news outlets. So congratulations to Zendaya, Jeremy Allen White, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott Elementary, The Dropout, Amanda Seyfried, Angela Bassett, Better Call Saul (impatiently waiting for the final sea ..read more

Happy New Year and all that jazz. We've come upon the 2023 awards season. And starting us off, per usual, is the Golden Globes. Based on most of the reaction I've seen on social media last night, Golden Globes may have wished to turn back the hands of time (like 10 years ago) and grab Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host again. Cause folks were not feeling Jerrod Carmichael. Personally, I enjoyed Jerrod's outfit changes more than his hosting like the the all white outfit above by Atelier Cillian and this one by Bode: To be fair, his style of comedy doesn't really work in a lighthearted awards s ..read more
