Event calendar: April 11-17

April 11, 2013
Entry of the Week: Monday, April 15 With the city basically shut down for Patriots Day, what better to do than cheer on the runners of the Boston Marathon? Participants will wind their way 26 miles through the city, starting in Hopkinton and ending near the Hancock Tower in Copley Square. The race begins at 9 a.m., but since it will take runners anywhere from two to seven hours or more, spectators can show up any time during the day to cheer runners on. The Cityside Restaurant and Bar will be open with an upstairs patio where spectators can watch the race. For those 21+, $3 Bud Lights and Coors Lights will be served all day. But get there early, the restaurant will likely fill up quickly. 1960 Beacon St., Brighton; 11:30 a.m.; price of food; citysidebar.com.

StyleUp website gives a fresh take on mixing and matching

April 4, 2013
Every male and female, lackadaisical or fashion forward, has his or her own distinct style. Whether one’s fashion sense is based on the “I don’t care what I look like” mentality or the “in this week, out next week” one, every person consciously decides his or her look each day. But for those looking for a little inspiration and guidance from the proudly dressed bunch, StyleUp has come to the rescue.

Inside column: Red all over

April 4, 2013
I dyed the underside of my hair last Sunday. I have dark brown hair, let the record show, pretty long but not quite waist-length. I’ve had bright colors in it before – pink, purple and blue before a school trip to Peru, indigo during a hippie phase, cerulean streaks that came out more seaweed than striking.
