Rain Check

  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?

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

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

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

  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

  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 for a Cause

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

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

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...
