Even six years ago, we wouldn’t have been caught dead in a vintage clothing boutique. Actually, around these parts, they scarce existed save the uber-retro varieties like Grunts & Postures and Decades.

We were all about scouting-out our own corduroy OP shorts and high-waisted, patterned skirts. If you found a pair of mint-condition Frye boots for $4.99 at the local D.I. or Savers, the resulting high could last years, and so would the boots. The hunt was as fun and important as the find.

Since we’re not in college anymore (soak up those glorious years whilst you can), we don’t have the same commitment to logging hours at the the thrift stores. Plus, the good stuff’s harder and harder to find thanks to the rising popularity of yesterday’s style (and the resulting overuse of the word “vintage” itself). But we still like to mix some history into our wardrobes, which is why a place like Coal Umbrella is so welcome in 2008.

Located on the hippest part of University Ave in Provo, Coal Umbrella is a true vintage shop (read: not junk) mixed up with brand-new paper goods and products crafted by local artisans. You can browse old T-shirts or Western button-ups for him, or look at breezy tops, ’80s skimmers and apron dresses for her. There’s also a nice variety of records to thumb through, and cool artwork always decorates the walls.

We’ll be adjusting our attitudes and heading to Coal Umbrella more often. (The employees here sure don’t dish out any attitude of their own.) The Frye boots won’t a be a prize $4.99 like back in ’01, but $19.99 for a one-of-a-kind top ain’t half bad. Especially not when time is money.

p.s. We used the word “vintage” just three times here. Well, now four.

As Utahns, we pride ourselves on the bevy of good Mexican food at our fingertips. Thanks in part to our semi-close proximity to the southern border, the local selection has never left us wanting. Save one thing: tacos al pastor.

These tacos are not your average meat-in-a-shell meal. Rather, said to have been brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants, the pork that stuffs these corn tortillas is slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie (think Shawarma-style) with any number of spices, and topped with a pineapple.

Al pastor lovers, meet Pastorero. The newish taco grill in Provo’s Brigham Landing specializes in these tastys, and though you might be tempted to try other menu items like quesadillas, tortas and or even a specialty like Chido (alambre flour tortilla quesadilla with carne asada, ham, bacon, green peppers, mushrooms, and onions, $6.49), we think you should stick to the pastor variety … for now. It’s their namesake, after all.

Pastorero’s tacos al pastor are served with onions, cilantro and a wedge of pineapple on a corn tortilla and come in at $4.99. Though we wouldn’t mind paying a little less, the zesty pork is worth going back for. If you’re used to this kind of sweet taco served on the streets of Southern California and in New Mexico (where Pastorero’s other location is), we think you’ll love this place.

Give these pastors a try. Check out the menu here.

We like bazaars. And we like, we like to party (kinda like the Vengaboys). Lucky for us, this weekend you can get a two-for with Provo’s Beehive Bazaar. Yahoo!

Over 50 trend-setting crafties meet up to peddle their goods this Friday and Saturday at the Women’s Council Cultural Center in Provo. There will be original artwork, unique jewelry, twee shoes for kiddos, skirts for lil’ gals, whimsical purses and aprons—even cupcakes, all for your little mitts.

And, after that fashionable perusing, hit up the After Party: same location, but with fashion shows, fresh DJ mixes and live music. The cover is just $5 at the door.

{Doorprize!} Just to be nice, our Bazaar friends want to award one of you with the cutest handbag you’ve ever seen ($40), designed and created by Noelle Olpin. One catch: If you win, you have to pick up your goodie bag at the show. Want this little thang slung over your shoulder? Leave just one comment on this post by 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 8. We’ll announce the lucky winner tomorrow night.

Manhattan has one. So do Chicago and San Diego. But did you know that Utah County recently got its own Little Italy? Well, it did. And it comes complete with sky-painted ceilings and views of the moon, albeit through skylights.

Gloria’s Little Italy is the unassuming trattoria that’s become the talk of the town as of late—and not just in Provo. So, naturally, we had to give you the scoop. Out of a house-like structure on 300 South, Italian Gloria and her hubby serve everything from pastas with homemade sauces to authentic “deli-style” sandwiches. Plus Gloria’s harbors its own little bakery with authentic Italian pastries and cakes, as well as a gelateria and market for fresh meats and cheeses.

Gloria brings you much closer to true Italian cuisine without buying a ticket to Portofino. You can enjoy an appetizer of fresh prosciutto and cantelope. Small side salads are doused in delicious, tangy dressing. For meals (family-style optional), try the quattro formaggio with fettucine, or the gnocchi with half pesto and half arrabiata sauce (definitely our fave). A daily special like the eggplant parmesan will not disappoint. Or, reach for a real panini with prosciutto, basil and tomato.

Like the Deseret Morning News, the only thing we’d steer clear of is the Utah version of tiramisu. It just ain’t the same. So, for finishing it all off, try a scoop of gelato or a fruit tart. It’s the perfect way to say arrivederci to Gloria and crew, at least until next time.

There are times and places for hot dogs. Like the first seasonal family barbecue. Or the corner of Prince and Broadway after a shopping binge in Soho. Baseball games aren’t the same without them; neither are camping trips.

Also appropriate: the first sunny days of spring. There’s something about a hot dog that screams warm weather and sunny skies. If you’re in a hot dog kind-of-mood, it’s usually a good omen in terms of weather. And if you’re a hot dog kind-of-person (or even if you’re not) word on the street is you’ve got to try J Dawgs.

The traffic this little dog stand generates on the streets of Provo has other college eateries green with envy. Coeds line up on weekday afternoons and weekends alike for a bite. You can get a Polish (which we recommend) or a beef hot dog for $2.75. Add a drink, and you’re up to $3.50.

Toppings that set J Dawgs apart from the rest include their special sauce (a sweet southern barbecue) as well as onions, pickles, banana peppers, sauerkraut and jalapenos. And their buns are baked fresh daily at a local bakery. As for the dogs themselves, they’re crosscut and “grilled to perfection.”

Plus, the J Dawg (Jayson) keeps Apple Beer and pink lemonade on tap—also good for the dawg days of summer.

For some locals, the word “Sundance” conjures images of hoighty-toighty skiers and uptight film aficionados. For other look-on-the-bright-side locals, it means an up-and-away lunch at one of the area’s most beloved delis.

Tucked inside the same building as the Foundry Grill and Treeroom at Sundance Resort, the often-overlooked Sundance Deli offers up some of the tastiest sandwiches and pastries around—and at reasonable prices. (And by “reasonable” we mean way more affordable than Park City or Deer Valley.) With mountain views and a bevy of tempting baked goods, a visit here is an outta-the-city treat for you and yours.

Jump in the car with your sweetheart, head to the hills, and order a chicken salad sandwich ($7.50) or the turkey bacon and avocado ($7.50). However boring-sounding, we’re also big fans of the uber-fresh fruit cup ($4.25, small). Or you can order a salad, or a bag of kettle-cooked salt-and-pepper chips to accompany your sandwich. Yum.

And for dessert, options include a no-frills M&M cookie ($2.30) or sizable brownie ($2.50). We recommend the super-delicious lemon cheese pastry (approx. $2.75).

Sure, you’ll see oversize fur boots decorating the feet of resort guests. And you might garner a few eyerolls because you dared to bring your four-year-old to lunch with you. But that doesn’t mean you should shy away from a meal at the Sundance Deli. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make your first celeb-sighting. And if not, we think the mountain views will suffice.

You’ve got spring on the brain. And with thoughts of spring come thoughts of summer. And with summer come weeklong cruises, weekends at the lake and Saturday afternoons at the pool. Ah, the sweet smell of saltwater and/or chlorine, mixed with Banana Boat.

Just one problem: last year’s swimsuit.

It’s used, abused—and it never really held everything in like it should have in the first place. Enter new demure styles from Shade Clothing. For 2008, you should be wearing something flattering and streamlined like the Huntington Top in deep blue, or Shade’s sweet and simple Malibu Swim Top. You’ve always loved that unexpected orchid color, and the handy dandy built-in bra is pretty much a no-brainer.

Curvy ladies will appreciate the feminine glam of the Newport or sleek-and-sexy Key West top. The hug-it-all-in Slimmer Swim Bottoms are ingenious for covering your assets. Or, you can opt to keep it cool with the regular mid-rise variety.

It’s all mix-and-match, so why not mix it up? Looks like this year things should go swimmingly.

Shade Clothing has six new tops, two bottoms, and even two swim skirts for Summer ’08. All are available now at www.shadeclothing.com, and at their three new retail locations along the Wasatch Front.

That blue cupcake caught your eye, didn’t it? It also caught ours when we stepped into American Fork’s Dippidee. The blue-dyed vanilla-on-vanilla-on-vanilla (frosting, mousse, then cake) is just one of the delicacies served up at this “Place of Sweet Surprises.”

As eye-catching as a blue cupcake might be, don’t let its cuteness or trendiness steer you away from other menu items like strawberry trifle and homemade Oreos. If you’re going to sample just one thing at Dippidee, please let it be their signature sugar cookie. As our great aunts always said, the power of a perfect sugar cookie should never be underestimated.

It’s hard to simply label Dippidee’s variety a “sugar cookie” along with all the others. At $1.99, the sizey disk is topped with the best buttercream-esque frosting we’ve yet to sample in Utah (there, we said it), and a thick, sugary cookie base that’s soft and sweet without crumbling. Really, it’s forging a category all its own. And don’t just take our word for it; go and get some for yourself.

With recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation, Dippidee is already known for its custom orders that include cupcakes, mini cakes and wedding cakes. You can see some examples on the Dippidee website. But by now we think you know which treat we’d suggest trying out.

So you like baked goods. So do we, as if you couldn’t tell. Especially breads. Artisan breads, like Alpine Sourdough, Asiago Cheese, Rustic Country Loaf and even homemade focaccia—each handcrafted in a two-day process to ensure a precise and perfect consistency. You’ll find these and more at American Fork’s Flour Girls & Dough Boys. Other “specialty” breads at this homespun bakery include Pumpkin Patch Sourdough, Kalamata Olive and Sundried Tomato. Interested?

Well there’s more. This place is also a cafe, which means you can enjoy signature sandwiches like Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto (on French baguette, $4.99), and hot panini sandwiches like Chicken and Avocado (marinated chicken breast, sundried tomatoes, creamy avocado spread and provolone on focaccia, $5.99). Or you can choose a soup and sandwich combo deal for $6.59.

OK. But let’s get serious and talk about the sweets. Here, you’ll also find pastries like hot cinnamon rolls with cream-cheese frosting, pumpkin bars with large chocolate chips, chocolate candy-flavored muffins and fudge brownies. And our friends at Flour Girls and Dough Boys claim that they have the best cookies in the WORLD, made with none other than 100 percent real butter. (Options include shortbread, molasses spice, coconut oatmeal, snickerdoodle and more.)

Plus, free Wi-Fi.

Thanks to all who let us know that we should be letting everyone else know about Pizzeria 712. We scurried on down to the Utah County pizza place as soon as we could—not only because we consider it our duty, but also because we love pizza and couldn’t wait to sample the area’s newest.

We soon discovered that 712 isn’t just your average pizza joint. It’s a bit more hip (yet cozy) and borders on the swanky side—most of the pizza joints we frequent don’t serve up short ribs and polenta, let alone house-made ricotta. But Pizzeria 712 offers this and more, and you’ll be happy to visit not only because the prices are reasonable, but also because the chefs are eager to chat it up with pizza-eating patrons. Overall, dining here is a friendly experience.

Ex-Sundance chefs Joseph and Colton dish out a pizza with a unique, sweet sauce. Though unusual, the tangy change in flavor is refreshing—especially when paired with margarita pizza staples like fresh mozzarella and basil leaves. And the crust, neither thick nor thin, is soft and chewy, just like we like it.

The menu is categorized simply, under headings like “A Little Something,” “Pizza,” “Panini,” “Sweet,” and “Drink.” We were treated to a pita-and-hummus plate (free like chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant), as we waited for a starter salad of mixed lettuces, roasted squash, gorgonzola, pecans and vinaigrette ($6). Then we kept it simple and opted for a healthy-sized pizza of tomato sauce, hand-pulled mozzarella and basil ($9.50). We topped it off with Winder Farms buttermilk panna cotta with winter fruit ($6.50). We recommend all of the above, though we hear the short ribs and polenta aren’t to be missed.

Joseph and Colton credit their savory flavors to their motto, borrowed from Alice Waters: When you have the best and tastiest ingredients, you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because the food tastes like what it is.

So why “712″? Turns out it’s a good temperature to cook pizzas at. Nice and hot, just like the restaurant itself.

There’s a little treasure on 100 East in Lehi that you might pass by if you didn’t know better … or if you never ventured off Lehi’s main drag, or passed through Lehi at all. But 125-year-old Broadbent’s is the kind of place you’ll like knowing about, whether you’re looking for a porcelain collectible to add to your collection, or the hippest new fabric to top your latest project.

Broadbent’s Dry Goods has been around since 1882—same location, and operated by the same family. Only in 2008, instead of stocking the shelves with sugar from the Lehi Mill or denim overalls as in the days of yore, you see stuff like the cutest ensemble of vintage-inspired glass ornaments and tinsel tree-toppers (if it’s December), classic candies and a drool-worthy selection of fabrics—only a glass case of what appear to be handknit doilies and gloves show what Broadbent’s might have been like half a century ago.

But down to business. Our favorite thing? The fabric. You’ll see prints by Moda, Amy Butler, Free Spirit and Kaffe Fassett—even some Michael Miller, Anna Maria Horner and Alexander Henry. And we might have also gotten a crush on a rack of classic paperdolls that made us wish we were ten again. Whatever your thing is, chances are Broadbent’s nooks and crannies of odds and ends have something for you. Otherwise it wouldn’t be considered the legendary department store is is and was. If you’re like us, you’ll wish your grandma was around to peruse the shelves with you.

Today, Provo’s Mode Boutique turns one year old. (Just like us! Who cooler to share a birthday with?) Rather than ordering a cake and calling it good, they’re hosting an evening in conjunction with Provo’s burgeoning gallery stroll that includes:

• Zuriick trunk sale featuring an entire new collection
• Art exhibit by Duane and Molly Call
• Special prizes and sales all night long

Mode’s friendly neighbor Coal Umbrella is opening its doors for the first time ever at 6 p.m. It will feature vintage clothing, hand-made gifts and a hip collection of brand-spankin’-new vinyl records. There will also be food and art to be enjoyed all around Downtown Provo: Battle of the Bands at Velour, grand opening of Muse Cafe, etc.

Lots to be enjoyed in P Town, this evening….

Quiz question: What’s better than finding hip and stylish stuff in one locale? Quiz answer: Finding hip and stylish stuff that’s also environmentally and globally friendly, all in one locale, of course, and just in time for Christmas. Good job; you all get A pluses.

That’s what Kaleidoscope Boutique is offering up this season. Step inside the Utah County boutique and you’ll have unique pieces that are environmentally low-impact and fashionably high-impact from lines like Filly and Prairie Underground right at your fingertips (both embrace the use of sustainable materials and are produced in the US).

Or maybe that lady on your list will flip for one of Roxbury’s new, sizeable and sassy handbags. Or your boho fashionista of a sister might fall for a frock from Smart Fitzjerrell or legendary Ms. Betsey Johnson.

We love Kaleidoscope for its spectrum of goods, from high-end smocks to locally-designed jewelry and onesies for kiddos. You can get handmade accessories from Odd Molly, or any of their new art pieces, ranging from kaleidoscopes (of course, and what a cool gift!) to sculptures and watercolors. There’s something for everyone on your list.

{Doorprize!} The Kaleidoscope crew is so thrilled about helping women look their best while making globally-influential purchases that they want to gift THREE readers with $50 gift certificates. Awesome! All you have to do to get your pretty little mitts on one of these is leave one comment on this post by 10 p.m. on Monday, December 10.

Naming your gelato joint after the Italian word for “Master” could be considered a bold, daring, nervy … even audacious move.

But sample a scoop or two of the smooth-and-chilly delicacy at Maestro’s in Provo, and your skeptical attitude might start to melt away. (Pun intended.) With a myriad of flavors that include everything from watermelon to mascarpone, and yogurt to mango, it’s possible that Maestro’s serves up some of the best gelato this side of the Mississippi, if not Milan.

Sure, it lacks the luster of pretty Italian palazzos e fontanas, but Maestro’s has the streets of Provo, Utah looking quite magnifico. You can get a single scoop for $2.49 or a double scoop for $3.49. Every extra scoop up from there is about $1 more. You can even opt for a homemade waffle cone for 75 cents. Fancy hot chocolates are said to be coming soon, too. And we’ll probably need it.

Oh, Lindsey Lohan, how are you, your fresh blonde locks and new boyfriend doing? We hear you’re bunked up at Sundance’s swanky Cirque Lodge, so hopefully things aren’t too bad—what with the alpine views and gourmet eats. According to Access Hollywood (or was it Entertainment Tonight?), your only shopping options in the Orem/Provo, Utah area are Smiths Food and Drug and University Mall’s Nordstrom.

Though Nordstrom is undoubtedly the better choice (and the best department store in Utah), we would like to set the record straight. We think you would be happy to know about these boutiques during your shopping adventures, too.

Stop No. 01: You might want to pop by Kaleidoscope in the Riverwoods for boho dresses, cosmopolitan pinafores and empire-waisted frocks by the likes of Trashy Diva, Deborah Sweeney, Violette and Odd Molly. Or you can slip your toes inside pumps and wedges from lines like Poetic License, Klub Nico and our favorite, Faryl Robin.

Stop No. 02: Just across the street, slide into Soel to get either your downward dog or your Diesel on. Soel is both high-style yoga and clothing boutique, at once. You might like Soel’s trusty selection of supersoft Ella Moss basics, French Connection smocks and Splendid tees. Or maybe you’ll opt for a pair of Frye boots for fall.

Stop No. 03: Next, head to Mode to pick out a cool custom tee for you and yours. He’ll like the selection of jeans from James, Nudie and Cheap Monday. This locale undoubtedly has the hippest assortment of stuff for guys from jackets to hats to wallets. And don’t skip the sneakers.

Stop No. 04: Pick up your favorite Paige denim at What’s Hot. The wall-to-wall selection of blues (and grays) is seriously impressive. Or maybe you’ll opt for a pair of Marc Jacobs flats or Coach hightops. (We think they’d look good on you.) And tell them Your Heart Out sent you, and you’ll even get 10 percent off.

(On a side note, have any of you Utah County-ers made any Lohan sightings?)

We weren’t kidding when we said a shopping daytrip to Provo is good for the soul. Err … Soel.

Soel boutique in Provo turns up plenty of soul food in the form of carefully-crafted apparel packed with embellishments and trendy details. We spied with our little eyes pieces we wouldn’t mind stocking our closets with from favorites like Ella Moss, Free People, Michael Stars, French Connection, Diesel and Splendid—whether it’s a chunky sweater, urban trench or supersoft tee.

Or you might find a Soel mate in a pair of leather Dollhouse T-strap heels or sleek All Black flats. You’ll also see shoes from DV, Frye and Beviel. Other novelties include smallish doodads like magnets, Jill Bliss notecards, Orla Kiely bags and patterned umbrellas.

Despite the fact that a good portion of Soel’s square footage is devoted to a yoga studio, the arts and crafts-influenced showroom remains sizey, with nooks for baby stuffs (a crib stocked with sock monkeys) and goods for gents (think Ben Sherman, G Star and Modern Amusement). Also stuffed into baskets, antique shelving systems and across vintage tabletops are porcelain bowls, stockings, picture frames, serving trays, recipe books and oven mitts—perfect for the collective soul.

Even if it’s taken out on your wallet, a trip to Soel is good for the heart and soul, especially if you’re a nay-sayer on behalf of Utah’s shopping potential. We daresay this one could change you, inside and out. (Remember the yoga studio….)
