I LOVE this necklace. And I could have sworn I’d written about I AM THAT GIRL before, but it looks like I haven’t. The organization is all about educating and empowering the next generation of women. They say: We are shifting girl culture. By building a community for girls to be seen, be heard, and…
Just yesterday, after recommending this whiskey to the umpteenth person (and after giving it as a gift, and, ahem, enjoying it myself), I realized I need to share it here. Go buy High West Distillery’s Barreled Manhattan. It’s delicious, hand-labeled, special, and perfect for any occasion. In O.C., you can find it at Costa Mesa’s…
When we went to see my favorite baby child cousin recently, I knew I couldn’t go empty-handed. So I turned to a friend who knows this sort of thing, and she assures me that CUPPIES are THE hot gift (along with Aden + Anais swaddles* for the new, actual, baby) right now. That sweet Kaia seems to…
In the wake of my extraordinarily tomboy-meets-girly six-item me-centric Christmas List, may I present to you the flipside of the coin: ten things that I already have, that you should give people for Christmas, because they are awesome. Broken down into who the eff those people are. You’re welcome. Female, Any This Coach Mini Skinny wallet is…

Valentine’s is right around the corner? Purrrrrfect. Choose from white chocolate (8%), milk chocolate (32%), dark chocolate (56%) or black chocolate (72%) as your base, then…

I had a “Lyssa” nameplate necklace at 16 (that’s before Sex & The City, for anyone who’s counting) and still own a faux-blinged-out platinum chain with “Lyssa” on it. So when I read about Survival of the Hippest, where they make TWITTER NAMEPLATE NECKLACES, I couldn’t help but post. Only $49.95! Check it out. I…
I’m sure you all have your own lists of what you want for Christmas, even if you haven’t formally made a list since you were about 13. Well, I think it’s time again. Except that my parents bought me a trip to LA for Christmas, so I won’t actually be getting any gifts from them.…
In honor of my impending birthday (tomorrow!), I’ve put together a few items that are too absurd NOT to own. I already own the Cap-Sac, a fanny-pack for your head. And who wouldn’t want to “in the spirit of the Wild West, keep his beer ready for a quick draw whenever the need arises” or…
Austin Tidbits Party at Sanctuary today from 6–8 pm. Brave thunderstorms and you will be heartily rewarded… I don’t think I’ve missed a Tidbits party yet. The people are always fabulous, the gift bags chock-full of goodies you actually want, and the snacks and drinks divine. Why wouldn’t you go? This round is out in…
