Kitchen Disasters

By Rachel | Published: August 17, 2010

I burned myself the other day… I was baking blueberry scones for the neighbors and I reached into the oven too quickly and burned my forearm pretty badly. I fought the urge to cuss in front of my 3 year old who was, as usual, “helping” me bake, and instead put my arm under the cold Read More...

A Chic State of the Union

By Rachel | Published: February 1, 2010

Dear Chic Readers, Today I find the need to let you know what’s been going on in my world over the last several months, and to clue you in on my plans for 2010. In the last quarter of 2009, I felt my usual end-of-the-year burnout creeping in. The tough part was that while I’m Read More...

The ever debonair Mr. Ford

By Ivan | Published: November 13, 2009

If there is one thing I have noticed about most tastemakers it’s that they rarely ever seem to adopt their own influence. What I mean by that is most top stylists always look so grungy. Most top hairdressers usually have bad hair. I do have an exception however, and his name is Tom Ford. I Read More...

To Flavor Save… or not?

By Johnny Debut | Published: September 24, 2009

Okay, so RACHEL is gonna hate this one, but whether she likes it or not, The MUSTACHE is back in business. Earlier this year I shaved myself one of these little flavor savors because I thought it would be funny, but actually thought it was boyish and classy. So it turns out, I was totally Read More...

My Someday Jewelry

By Rachel | Published: September 14, 2009

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...

Not to be a jerk…

By Erika | Published: July 27, 2009

…but seriously???? Miley Cyrus on the August cover of ELLE is a little preposterous. Don’t get me wrong…I’m totally Team Miley. Love Hanna Montana. Lover her jams. Yet, to be honest, her serious teeny bopping face on the cover of ELLE kind of weirded me out. I mean, come on, SHE”S SIXTEEN. The fact that Read More...

All By Myself…

By Rachel | Published: June 22, 2009

I used to get so bummed when my hubby left town on business… and honestly it still makes me a little sad. After all, he’s my best friend and the funniest person I know AND my co-pilot on this whole parenting thing, so when he’s gone it means double work for mommy. But last night Read More...

My Apologies

By Rachel | Published: June 1, 2009

Seriously Chic Readers, seriously… I realize it’s been like a week since we’ve posted, and I can’t apologize enough! It just so happens that June is our most busy month (as in most busy in the history of time) and we’re basically running around with our arms on fire trying to produce a ton of amazing Read More...
