Look of the Day: A Jumper That Works for Work
Just because jumpers are very trendy and a little bit girly doesn't mean they don't work as office attire. Kimbtatter proves that here, making her up-to-the-minute, pulled together ensemble today's TeamSugar Look Book Look of the Day. I love the way she balances the outfit's proportions with her high, cinched belt and the unusual sleeve length of her dress shirt.
Non Voyage: A Capital Celebration Where You Need DC to Be
If the new administration has your family dreaming of our nation's historic roots, a trip to Washington DC is sure to inspire the next generation of public servants. We continue our week of big-city non voyages in the nation's capital with activities and food that will help families recreate the DC experience without breaking their wallets.
- The National Mall is lined with some of the best museums in the world, and one of the most popular is the National Air and Space Museum. Teach your budding astronauts about the history of manned space flight and then have them create their own rocket ship that will transport them to the moon. Rockets can be built out of blocks, cardboard or with any scraps you have lying around.
- The International Spy Museum is one of the most unique places to visit in DC, where children and adults alike can learn about the CIA and FBI's covert operations and the techniques used to keep the nation from harm. Recreate the experience with a backyard scavenger hunt where lil ones can search for hidden treasures and practice their detective skills. Don't forget the trench coats and magnifying glasses to make them feel official.
- Even in the age of email, everybody still loves to get mail and the National Postal Museum shows kids how their letters get delivered. Visit your local post office and have the kids pick out their own stamps and mail letters to their family and friends. See if the postal workers will allow your tots to view the sorting machines in the back too.
- It's hard to imagine what life was like before cars, computers and modern conveniences, but Mount Vernon, George and Martha Washington's home, does just that.

Would You Give Someone a Puppy as a Gift?
In the "Deck the Howls" episode of October Road the sweet but overeager Janet gives her new boyfriend, Eddie, a deeply personal gift: a puppy. Understandably, the gesture shocks Eddie. Janet's intentions were to get him a puppy to replace his beloved dog, Rocket, but Eddie doesn't feel ready to commit to another animal.
Chuck Rundown: Episode 11, "Chuck Vs. The Crown Vic"
Well, if that's the last episode of Chuck we're going to see for a while, I suppose it was a fine note to end on. But after two weeks of fantastic episodes, I can't pretend I wasn't a little disappointed in this one. Sure, it had the resolution to last week's "will Sarah stay or go?"

Look of the Day: Sailor-ette
Fashionsugar looks so adorable in her sailor-ette ensemble. I love how she coordinated the red and white anchor tee with her striped bag. She looks like she's ready to set sail!
GQ Men of the Year Arrivals - Let's Focus On Just the Men For Now
Will Ferrell, Leo and Jay-Z landed 3 different covers for GQ's 11th annual Men of the Year issue, but all the guys looked truly deserving of cover boy status at the event last night. The Men of the Year awards was held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in LA and the honored guests clearly took the time to look their best. Even Jackass Johnny got in on the dress up action, but we do wish he would have worn a cleaner pair of shoes.
