An Orange County mother is holding out hope someone will find her lost necklace, which holds her late husband's wedding band.

Bernadette Terzich says its monetary value is small, but its sentimental value is priceless. It belonged to her late husband Alex, who passed away last January at the age of 35 after a long battle with leukemia.

"We were married for two and a half years when he passed away," Terzich tearfully recalled. "He was an incredible man. He was the most friendly,…

The San Luis Obispo Blues’ season kicked off Friday at SLO Stadium without most of the Blues’ roster but all of the sights, sounds, smells and cowbells associated with the summer collegiate baseball team.

As Harry Freeman and Bob Jones walked down the aisle at Old West Church in Boston, former prisoners from the jail down the street served as bouncers at the door.

"They would ask, 'How do you know Harry and Bob,'" Freeman-Jones recalled, sitting on the porch of his Syracuse home.

His wedding to Bob Jones 42 years ago was one of the first gay weddings to be covered by the national and international media. The two were married by a minister in the United Methodist Church in 1973.…

Whether your everyday high school look is au natural or totally glam, prom is the perfect time to change up your look. I recently went into the studio with celebrity hair stylist Bobby Eliot and the lovely Jorgi to come up with some beauty inspiration for your end of the year party.

The first thing that jumped into my mind was the classic 80’s teen movie,Pretty In Pink. If you haven’t already seen it, it’s worth a pre-prom movie night just to check out Molly Ringwald’s 80’s thrift…

The amount Wong spends is all about her relationship to the people getting married, how fancy the wedding is going to be and whether she brings a date.…

A couple who weighed a combined 37 stone went on a massive pre-wedding health kick that saw them lose a combined 11 stone.

The Harrison Road Elementary School fifth-grader recently was named the winner for clothing she altered and entered in the Red Carpet Runway event held in Richmond on April 17.

Makeup has always possessed a magical allure for me, as have drag queens — so you can imaging the appeal that makeup tips from drag queens would have on my heart! It’s not just about “fixing my face,” either. I see makeup as an art form. As a child, I was always stealing Mary-Kate and Ashley makeup from supermarkets and my mam — being makeup obsessed, too — allowed me my glittery blue eyeshadow long before most of my mates’ parents allowed them mascara. Although my foundation now feels like…

I'm down in Washington, D.C., at the Institute for New Economic Thinking’s Finance & Society conference, at which, as I pointed out yesterday, all of the speakers are women. At the opening dinner last night, Senator Elizabeth Warren delivered a rousing condemnation of the big banks that, to me, at least, sounded suspiciously like a stump speech. “Financial institutions shouldn’t be allowed to cheat people,” she said at one point. “Can I have an amen on that?”…

Today on the 25th floor of One World Trade Center, the usual sounds of ringing phones and the jostling fashion racks were overpowered by the hum of blow-dryers and the whoosh of a hairspray bottle in action.

The roster of Victoria’s Secret Angels, past and present, is basically a “who’s who” of successful star models, from Gisele Bündchen and Tyra Banks to Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge. And last week, 10 more women became the new Victoria’s Secret Angels, catapulting them to supermodel status overnight. There’s a fair amount of geographic diversity with the newest Angels hailing from all corners of the world, but I spotted one problem with the newest class: There are no Asian models on the…
