Rain Check

By Rachel | Published: August 31, 2009

For years I’ve wanted them. Seen them on others and wondered… when am I going to get a pair?? No, I’m not talking about Louboutins, I’m talking about RAIN BOOTS!! I see Rain Boots when they come out in the Fall and I think, “they’re cute, but when will I actually wear those?” Fast Read More...

Se Habla Espanol?

By Rachel | Published: August 27, 2009

Oh… can you feel it? Fall is almost here!! And you know what that means?!?! DARK NAIL POLISHES!! I’m so excited, I’ve been dying to wear something dark and mysterious on my nails for weeks but it just doesn’t feel right when it’s 97 degrees outside. So I’m waiting patiently and biding my time… but Read More...

The Jet Setter

By Rachel | Published: August 25, 2009

As I type this, I’m flying God-knows-how-many miles above the earth, headed for Dallas Texas, and I’m struck at how much has changed in my life since the last time I came to Dallas 4 years ago. For one thing, they didn’t have wireless internet on airplanes back then and I was cramped in a Read More...

Taylor Made

By Rachel | Published: August 19, 2009

If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think I’ve ever set foot in an Ann Taylor store. I am not a naturally conservative dresser, (unless I’m wearing it ironically) and so there was never a strong desire to shop at AT… honestly, it was where my mom shopped, and so I was always hesitant. Fast Read More...

Your Home Away from Home

By Erika | Published: August 14, 2009

One of LA’s main drags, Hollywood Boulevard, can be… well… a drag. The mix of freaks, bums, and tourists can make the blocks from Las Palmas to Vine nearly unbearable for normal folk like me. With the cat-calling, honking, paparazzi, and loitering, it’s almost too much to handle. Fear not, I have found a sanctuary Read More...

The Zoe Report

By Rachel | Published: August 14, 2009

I am a die hard, super fan of Rachel Zoe! I love love love everything about her! I love her blousy tops, I love her fur jackets (which I can’t wear on principle, but still adore), I love her 70′s style, and mostly I love how much she loves fashion! I realize that I’m Read More...

Coffee is a necessary part of most of our everyday lives, giving us the energy to get through the day. What if you could get your daily caffeine fix AND do something great at the same time?? Today on our trip to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, we discovered a new way to support our Read More...

Locket Up

By Rachel | Published: August 12, 2009

I just ADORE these vintage inspired lockets from Urban Rose! They’re so special, and I know will add the right amount of style to all my blousy tops! I just bought the Silhouette Tree locket on the 33″ cable chain (extra long so I can pull off the layered look). They also Read More...

Egg Head

By Rachel | Published: August 11, 2009

Eggplant is in season!! Let’s be honest, were you even aware it HAD a season? Or do you, like most others, see it winking at you from beneath the produce misters and think “No way, too hard, I wouldn’t even know where to begin!” Trust me, I know it seems daunting, but it’s just so Read More...
