Decorate
Time to spruce up your walls for spring! Check out the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts' Print and Drawing Fair (11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 2400 Third Av S, Mpls, 612-870-3000). Prices start at $200 and up for everything Rembrandt to Picasso. Yessssss, this Modigliani above the sofa would definitely liven things up.
Eat/order
We're proponents of eating
Matzel Toff year-round. For those prepping for Passover next week, you'll want to pick up a box of the matzah, toffee and chocolate confection (created by a
former Minnesotan) at
Byerly's, Lunds or Max's for next week's festivities.
Watch
If you're not eating
Matzel Toff on Monday night, don't miss
Bill Cunningham New York. The brilliant movie about the octogenarian street style photographer basically justifies our existence. It will be screened during the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival. We saw it in New York and here's our
mini-review. If you can't make it, don't ruin your makeup -- it's scheduled to return in
May.

Prepare your outfits (for snow?):
MNFashion Week and
Voltage are upon us.
Here's an exclusive preview. We also recommend checking out at least one
event, whether you want to shop and play at
Styles for Smiles or check out the chichi lingerie runway show by
Jagress Intimates. Enjoy our
tweets from last night's delightful CounterCouture/George Moskal show.
Shop
The top sale of the week will undoubtedly be at
Victory (11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 3503 West 44th St, Mpls, 612-926-8200). Before they do a top secret remodel, you'll save up to 75 percent off of primitive portraits, vintage chandeliers, candles, soaps, linens, bedding, books, home accessories, furniture and odds and ends. There are a few more listings
here, including a sale on the never-goes-on-sale Fresh Sugar Balm and a meet and greet with the dashingly fabulous Edward Wilkerson of Lafayette 148.
