Fashion, Food and Fun
Spring, Where Art Thou? Fashions in the Triangle to Warm You Up Freezing temperatures, slush, and snow have everyone down and out, but let's look on the bright side; February isn't long for the world. We're so excited for fun prints, color, and April 22nd worthy outfits that we're shaking in our low-calf boots. But before the sunny days hit, there's a tricky half-season of fluctuating weather to navigate. Here are our tips to see you through it.  Find Midi Ground - The glory of the trendy midi is that the lengths can vary, so make sure you choose one that's most flattering for you. If you're tall, you can get away with sweeping the mid calf, but if you're on the shorter side stick to just below the knee. Wear it now with tights, and a cardigan; pair it with a light leather jacket and booties. Come spring, tuck a simple tee into it and add strappy sandals for summer. Just don't lose that hourglass shape...solution; belt it. Photo Left: Layfayette 148 at Cameron Clothing in North Hills.
In-Vest in Layers - By March we're desperate for warmth but sick of  everything we own. In lieu of questionable outfits that don't match the weather, go with layers. A vest adds depth and texture to an outfit, and it lets you play with proportions minus the bulk of a chunky sweater or second jacket. An open vest creates a line that draws the eye up to your face. Photo right: Lunatisme fits this bill with fun and quirky sweaters and knit tops from France found at CT Weekends in Cameron Village.  Color Wheel - Being pasty comes with the territory this time of year, though you've hardly noticed, thanks to winter's black clothing hole. Before you partake in retail therapy, look at your closet as a whole. What colors do you see most? Chances are, those are your colors (or, just as important, the ones that make you feel beautiful). They're different for everyone, since we all have different undertones to our skin; in spring you sometimes just want to wear pink flowers or lime green.

Prince of Ties - High Cotton has just launched its Spring 2014 first ever neckties. Come  see these and their new madras and seersucker suspenders/braces, in addition to their great new spring bow ties, cummerbunds and pocket squares. You're Invited to a High Cotton Spring Launch Party on First Friday, March 7th, in downtown Raleigh. This also happens to be the one year anniversary of their downtown Raleigh showroom.

To Bee or Not to Bee
Breaking New Bread in 2014 - Restaurant Openings for March
We had to poke a new hole in our belt to do it, but we are happy to expand in order to communicate new restaurant openings this year. That said, the only problem is deciding where to pull up a seat. Here are a couple getting ready to dish it out in March for breakfast, brunch & dinner. Oh Happy Hour!
Easy Does It - Another Broken Egg Caf� (North Hills)
No Yolk, Folks. Get the Hard (boiled) Details Here: Oh, cluck. Just when we thought we were cool for locally sourcing our breakfast, we discovered that Another Broken Egg Caf� will open in  North Hills on March 3rd. When it comes to breakfast, brunch, or lunch ... Another Broken Egg Caf� offers a totally egg-ceptional experience. Open seven days a week from 7am to 2pm, they serve over 114 menu items including Signature Benedicts, Egg-Straordinary Omelettes, Specialty Brunches and Scrambled Skillets. Their buttermilk pancakes, Belgian waffles, and French Toast can be upgraded to Bananas Foster (Louisiana style) with bananas, pecans, and whipped cream. Yum! Salads, Burgers, and Sandwiches round out the menu and provide something for everyone. Menu
Avoid a Scramble - Get There Early (no reservations): Location: 160 Park at North Hills Street (i.e. the Harris Teeter side). Website
Suitable Replacement - Tazza Kitchen (Cameron Village)
Fire Up the Brick Oven (again): Last November, when Cameron Village's Caf� Caturra closed its  doors, the rumor was that Tazza Kitchen, another Richmond VA based restaurant serving oven fired pizzas & Baja / Mediterranean fare, would open in the space in early 2014. In this case, the rumor was true as Tazza Kitchen will be opening very soon (per Twitter they are currently performing private training events & plan to be open for dinner in a week).
Delicious Food That's Good for the Body and Soul: Tazza Kitchen's cuisine is simple and fresh,  highlighting their traditional cooking style and the use of quality ingredients. The peppery bite of arugula plays counterpoint to the salty richness of prosciutto on a wood charred pizza. Adobo peppers spiked with fresh Serranos and lime fire up the heat in a crab and avocado salad. Not in the mood for pizza? No worries as there are plenty of delicious fish, chicken, and steak items on the menu as well as an (upcoming) full Brunch Menu. Menus
Tazza Kitchen Cameron Village: Location - 432 Woodburn Road, Raleigh; Hours (based on Richmond site) Mon/Tues: 4-10pm, Wed-Fri: 4-11pm, Sat: 10:30am-11pm, Sun: 10:30am-9pm, Happy Hour: Mon-Fri, 4-6:30pm; Contact: (919) 835-9463; Website

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money. We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it. |
