Since Alex Wehrley’s arrival in Oklahoma City, the host of KSBI Channel 52’s Oklahoma Live! has wasted no time getting involved with the community. That includes sitting on the board of Race Dance Company, taking an active role in Better Block OKC and now serving as emcee of Saturday night’s Oklahoma Fashion Week event. A […]

Treasures untold
Bad Granny’s By: Shannon Cornman It was bright coral with black piping around the sleeves and collar. Dislodging it from the bottom of the heap, I was euphoric to see that it was a floor-length skirt with a hidden front zipper: quirky and all mine. I asked the man running the estate sale the price. […]

Lush life
Culinary Kitchen Credit: Mark Hancock If so, you’re not alone. And just to prove it, every year at Oklahoma Gazette, we serve a sampling of articles that celebrate the swigging of tasty, big-people drinks. This year, more than any, I’ve been drawn toward a certain level of sustainability, increasingly aware of the importance in reducing […]

Cup runneth over
OK, so that’s not an actual fact, but in my own guesstimation — which includes expertise from years in lingerie sales — it’s pretty darn close. One thing I learned from my retail days is that women typically wear the wrong size for two reasons: 1) They’re in denial, and 2) They’re uninformed. Seriously, get […]

I feel pretty
Serendipity By: Mark Hancock People like to feel pretty. It’s just a fact of life. We all have our own ways of feeling pretty. For me, there is nothing better than slipping into a formal dress for an event that requires just a little bit more from the closet and the rarely used makeup items. […]

Which leads me to our regularly scheduled bit in which I make a case for you to shop local. It’s not hard at all, given the […]

Hats off
But what makes for a hit on the catwalks of New York or Paris can seem far-fetched when making the translation to your personal life. If you’d like to dabble in the spirit of the week, however — maybe even get a little crazy — artistic options are closer than you might think. Local artist […]

The big game
Party Galaxy Credit: Shannon Cornman Admittedly, I’ve had to ask others who will be competing for the title of ultimate football team. I assume that’s what they’re competing for in Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVII. Anyway, it’s a big deal for many, and that’s OK. Besides, Super Bowl parties are fun for many reasons. Usually, they’re […]

Deck those halls
Stephanie Humes at A Date with Iris Credit: Mark Hancock Warm-drink sipping, cold-weather loving, holiday music-listening into them. Probably my favorite part, if I were forced to list only one thing other than cooler temps, would be the decorating. Transforming living spaces that are normally calm and serene into fantastical displays of pine-cone-scented garland, complete […]

Deluxe shopping
When you slap them together for an event, euphoria is within reach. Saturday marks the sixth show for the Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar, which continues to grow and support the absolute best that Oklahoma artists have to offer. What is Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar? Glad you asked. It’s a showcase of local creatives selling their […]
