The Stylehound loves the work of individual artists and artisans. We admire the artists who pour their creativity into their work, often without much compensation—we all know that just about anything pays more than creating gorgous pillows or hand-stitched cloth napkins.

I’d like to invite you all to a wedding. It’s big, it’s splashy, it’s got loads of laughter and music and that other element necessary in any wedding: family drama.

As the world watches presidential and vice-presidential debates with bated breath, we still have to get groceries into the house, don’t we? After all, we have to feed all those people coming over to watch the next throw-down.
