And I’m not even embarrassed. I used to have three of the same shirt in different colors, and I thought it was extreme. Now I own four of these: Listen, these are layering gold. Long, long, long, perfect over leggings and under sweaters. Tucked in, they magically add no girth to your pants but flawless…
Because after-Christmas sales, amiright? Fave time to shop Rack, Last Call, etc, when everything is more % off and you have to dig and try on a million funny-fitting things just to score one awesome thing you’re gonna remember. And maybe a few questionable things you later give to your friends as never-worn hand-me-downs. Plus every…
My mom owns a garment we call The Bird. It is a full-length poncho. Like a person blanket. With arm holes. Likely someone hand-knit the thing for her, twenty years ago before sleeping-bag-onesies were a real thing (and what a cool real thing they are). Admittedly, The Bird is warm on a cold winter’s night,…
Even if it really means List-of-Things-I’m-Gonna-Buy-Myself-at-After-Christmas-Sales. Because really, when it comes to gifts, I’d rather have presence than presents. Let’s gift each other spending time together—while doing cool things. Christmas Gifts that Are Not Material That I’d Like: Tickets to an NFL football game. Will travel for tickets. Wine-tasting. Catalina. Someone planning a hiking +…
Nike launched its first store + studio in the US at Fashion Island today, and I got to visit for a media preview, where I was given gear to wear during my media workout—and take home (who wants my sweaty used clothes? nobody). I wrote about the store and studio for Orange Coast mag, click here…
Does a charitable-giving, fair-trade, eco-friendly, recycled dog leash exist? No, not that I have found. But here are a few other options that fit one of those categories … This is the one I want (but won’t buy myself … $60 for a leash?!) Found My Animal promotes animal adoption through the product, they say: “let your…
Living in SoCal, I don’t really NEED boots … but as a fashionista, I obviously NEED boots. Enter: neutral booties, the beach bum’s solution to winter in 70-degree paradise. Not too dressy, not too casual, for a creative, fashion-y office. Looking for neutral colors, NOT black or brown (although a few slipped in, whoops!). Leave a…
Look, there are just certain places you don’t go shopping in. When in New Orleans this past weekend with my parents, my mom veered into a Chico’s having a sale. She beckoned me inside and I said, “Mom! I just turned 30, NOT FORTY!” Alas, she found a cute jacket for herself and lured me…
Upping your Shoe/Onesie/Whatever Game is a recent cultural phenomenon capturing the essence of both having style and a collection of things in a category of that style. I must confess, my ‘Bra Game’ has never been tight. Legitimately, I sneakily wore a sports bra to work yesterday disguised as a tank under a vest (incidentally,…
<— AND THE WINNER IS … WENDY!! Faux celebs like me love being stopped and asked about things they’re wearing—it happens more than you think, especially when you’re wearing as unusual a watch as this. I’ve recently been on a watch search, tired of checking my phone (is anyone getting the sense I’m just tired…
