Glam TP, Yep, as in Toilet Paper
Y’all, this is toilet paper. I would pin this convertible!! dress in a heartbeat, not knowing it was made from TP. This is 2014’s winner, Susan Brennan, who made this insane dress out of toilet paper. Toilet paper!! Think you can top this masterpiece? You can win $10K and see your dress made into a…
Faux-Celeb Recommends: Chaturanga Shorts from Athleta
It’s like I just discovered Athleta. I kinda did. Since starting to play flag football in a league that has photographers out every weekend, I’ve had to pay attention to what shorts I own that not only are comfortable and don’t ride up, but look good on camera. It’s a tough bill. Most of the…
A Signature Look
A signature look is necessary. I have style for sure, but it’s not signature. 2015 = signature style. I would like my overall signature look to be skinny pants, great shoes, and a fabulous blazer. Fun tanks/tees hide underneath. On (California) winter weekends, we modify to jeans or yoga pants, a backless tee, hoodie, and sneaks…
You’re Never Too Old for a Christmas List [updated]
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 +…
Impractical Obession: High-Top Pendleton Uggs
I know I just posted about not really needing boots in Southern California but I don’t care, these are my new obsession: They are moccasins, which you need even less in SoCal, but high-top. They are Uggs (like these, which are easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made AND almost five years later…
Election Thursday: Help Me Pick Work Booties
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…
Chic-Uh-O’s
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…
JORD — Fixin’ To Be Watch of the Stars (+ watch GIVEAWAY!)
<— 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…
What She Wore
In this post I asked for help accessorizing the dress I was renting from Rent the Runway for a big party at the magazine. I expected to like pumps or funkier shoes, but when I tried them on before the party, I ended up liking a strappy shoe—but in bright red, naturally. I added big…
