Tuesday Tuneage: I’m Not Gonna…

When I first heard this I was positive I knew it… vintage Cure, thought I. Then I played it for my older sister (a huge fan of The Cure) who laughed at me and told me this was in fact a new song by a new band. Turns out I know it because it was on The  Read More...

You are cordially invited…

It is said that within three seconds of meeting someone, you are evaluated. First impressions are forever. They cannot be redone, reshot, or removed. Once that mark has been made it is permanent…so why not make your first impression the best it can be, right? When it comes to parties, invitations are usually the earliest  Read More...

Vote Earth

This election has no age limit. You don’t have to drive to the polls to cast your ballot. “I Voted” stickers are not issued and the selection here is not between leaders from opposing parties. You are choosing between Earth and Global Warming. At 8:30 pm this Saturday, people from all over the world will  Read More...

A Day without a Mexican

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am Mexican at heart. I have a deep love for all things Latin – the food, fashion, culture, and colors – love love love love. However, due to the current state of affairs south of the border, I haven’t been able to visit my beloved MEX in over a  Read More...

Wedding Wisdom: Cupcake Toppers

How adorable are these wedding cupcake toppers I found on Etsy by Goosegrease? Since everyone is still on the wedding cupcake kick (and why not, Sprinkles are de-lish!) I thought this would be a fun one to share with you. They have a vintage feel that I love, but are totally unique… plus I think  Read More...

Fringe Benefits

Alright, I’ll admit it… when fringe started popping up everywhere I was intrigued. As recently as last week I spied a fringy dress from Sass & Bide that reconfirmed my love for that label. But I take a little issue with all these fringe-bags! Reason being, that your bag/purse/pocketbook (depending on which part of the  Read More...

Line ‘em Up

I was reading one of my fashion mags and some famous so-and-so fabulous gay stylist was saying that his famous so-and-so model BFF just adored wearing colored eyeliner (what-ev! thought I) then he said, “no really, it’s easier than you think!” Alright gay stylist… gauntlet thrown, challenge accepted! So, down I went to Sephora to  Read More...

Chic’s First Photo Shoot

Super cool perk of doing the Entertainment Weekly Lounge at Sundance this year… EW Photo shoot!! Bear in mind that this was at the end of a long day (which was at the end of a LONG week) but if you compare with the celebrity photo shoots that took place in the same space (like  Read More...

Red, White and Bluezz

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Billie Holiday once said “A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.” This can also be said if you never visit Red White and Bluezz. A few weeks ago a friend introduced me to this velvety-smooth jazz and wine bar in  Read More...

Smarty Pants Pigeon

Imagine my joy and delight when a friendly pigeon wandered into Pricilla’s coffee shop this afternoon! He sauntered in, headed towards the coffee bar ready to order his sugar-free vanilla latte and then (as if it wasn’t ALWAYS his intention) he begin to pick up bits of broken scones and muffins dropped on the floor  Read More...
