Making Waves
Adrift on the SignalPhotographs by Tom Drymon
Inspired by short wave radio enthusiasts who scan the air waves for signals around the world, adrift on the signal is an attempt to capture the random, nonlinear nature of memory and time. With photos chosen from Tom's collection from the past 20 years, he conveys a sense of timelessness, where memories burble to the top and then are lost again, or stay with you for days on end.

Style Profile: Claudine Kurp
Fabulous Mom
, Claudine
Occupation: Creator of DC Metro Mommy.com, an online parents’ resource guide of the best shops, services, events and everyday essentials in the DC Metro area.
Children: One beautiful 3 year old little girl named Gia.
What's your "uniform?” – Jeans and a black Banana Republic tee on days when I just don’t have time to even consider a big wardrobe choice.
What is your secret fashion sin : On gym days, I tend to linger all day in my workout gear even though I am not hitting the gym until the late afternoon. Not sure if that is a felony or misdemeanor in the fashion world.
What's your favorite current fashion bargain? I think you can find amazing prices at Nordstrom’s during a sale. The Summer Anniversary Sales are wonderful. I recently saved $80.00 on my Uggs Boots! H&M is a good spot for belts. I also tend to stalk sale racks at the end of each season. My Uggs were purchased in the middle of the summer!
I also hit Macy’s. Macy’s has a sale every 10 minutes. I am forever carrying a Macy’s coupon with me.
What's your favorite fashion splurge? Two beautiful Furla handbags that I purchased in Italy on my honeymoon.
What are your favorite stores? Nordstrom’s, Macy’s, Banana Republic and T.J. Maxx. I found an awesome Calvin Klein dress and a pair of Lucky Jeans at T.J. Maxx. I also like online stores Zappos.com and Shoebuy.com.
What do you see as your biggest shopping challenge? Finance and trends. Since having a child, leaving my job and upgrading my home…guilt sneaks up on me when I am shopping. That nagging voice of “Do you really need this?” lurks into my head too often! Plus I find that since I left the workforce I am just not as tied into the “it” product or the latest trends, hence the uniform of a black tee and jeans.
What’s your beauty secret? Sleep, exercise and Dermalogica products. The Daily Mircrofoliant from Dermalogica is wonderful.

Tight Walking with Fashion
Tights and open toe shoes.
This is a subject up for debate. Everyone asks me about this one.
Remember, not every trend needs to be incorporated into your wardrobe. If you like it-wear it, if not- dont.
Word of warning... you may look stylish-you may look senile-that's all I am saying.
