The president and head designer of the Daniel Cremieux Co. has had a keen sense of style and appreciation for sharp dressing since he was young. He has a penchant for tailored clothing but believes in a little whimsy. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/french-designer-heads-norfolk Wed, 23 May 2012 00:00:00 -0400 Please click here to view the full page.   http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/free-slurpee-days-comes-early-year Tue, 22 May 2012 11:23:21 -0400 The buzz is growing that 2012 might be one of the worst mosquito years ever. The first batch of mosquitoes are hatching early - up to six weeks ahead of schedule - thanks to warmer weather and early spring rain. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/head-scratcher-mild-winter-may-mean-more-mosquitoes Tue, 22 May 2012 00:00:00 -0400 Ahhh. The sand dunes can make a magical backdrop for the wedding photos. The crashing waves can serve as the ceremony's music. And the stranger in the Speedo - whether you want him there or not - can be a colorful witness.  Local beaches provide a natural wedding venue, but getting married there takes particular planning. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/want-get-your-feet-wet-beach-wedding Tue, 22 May 2012 00:00:00 -0400 “I’m planning on making a strawberry shortcake,” said Alanna Sanchez, 22, while picking strawberries with her boyfriend, Anthony Reyes, 25, at Henley Farm Market in the Pungo section of Virginia Beach on Monday.

Jones knelt and grabbed the open box of drywall screws, printed with the words "Made in America" next to an image of a rippling Stars and Stripes. The homebuilder paid roughly $235 for the box - nearly $200 more than he would spend on a typical box of screws from China. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/homearama-builder-goes-allamerican-materials Sun, 20 May 2012 21:56:25 -0400 Scott Fitzgerald might have made a great wedding planner. The lavish galas, extravagant excess and fabulous fortunes in "The Great Gatsby" - the novel he set in the Jazz Age in which the wealthy Gatsby woos his Daisy with money - rival the rich romp through flowers and crystal and china and silk that many brides strive to emulate while dreaming about their big day. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/05/great-gatsby-wedding Sun, 20 May 2012 00:00:00 -0400
