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,…
I have decided it is the fault of the jeep that my face is not as stress-zit free as it once was (click here for more on my face). What with air pollutants coming at me at 90 miles an hour on the reg—wait, let’s be serious, the jeep ain’t going 90, so maybe like…
It has come time to bid adieu to the subscription workout clothes service I have been with through many iterations. In my most recent post about Ellie, I compared the relationship to a love affair. Well, the ups-and-downs of the love affair are too much and she has become the addiction I know I need…
“Mom,” I said, rehashing a recent OC party I attended, “Everything was fake. Fake boobs, fake faces, fake …” “Eyelashes?” she asked. “Mom!!!!!” See, Mom knew that at the urging of a coworker, I had gone to get eyelash extensions at LashSpot Spas in Newport Beach. For every inch I got blessed in leg length,…
I bruise easily. Just sayin’. Thankfully, I haven’t had a code red emergency hickey cover sesh since I was dating two guys one summer in college … wait, did I just reveal something? However, I do sometimes get rather unfortunate blemishes, usually smack dab somewhere noticeable (we can talk about this face map another time).…
If you’re not a Gossip Girl watcher, you might not have seen Rent the Runway in action (Juliet uses it to look like she actually has money to buy designer clothes). Think Jennifer Hudson using Bag Borrow Steal from Sex & The City. No? Maybe I’ll just ‘splain myself: Rent the Runway is a dress-lending site where…
You know those days you’re so tired or stressed or have tension headaches or are just so sore from yesterday’s workout that you can hardly fathom getting off the couch? Or when you see ads for massages and think, I wish I had time for that, instead of how nice! When Vila Mat announced its…
[Update: The second time was better than the first! I had an outstanding white tuna sushi and they made me a RICELESS El Jebel roll! Love them even more:] It’s no secret that I love sushi. However, it struck me that in Aspen I am undeniably landlocked the day I drove past a company advertising…
Aside from clicking that bowl of rice that donates to starving children in Asia (it took me awhile to find this link again, where you donate rice for every vocab word you know … pretty awesome), I don’t know of many easier ways to donate food to those in need than this: Dishola (plus Whole…
Crispy and doughy are generally opposites, but somehow the crust on my pizza at Enoteca Vespaio managed to be both, with a sprinkling of crunchy salt on top. It was amazing. In fact, the whole pizza was absurdly delicious, in a decadent, can’t-eat-it-every-day way. I mean, I could eat Mangia every day and die happy…
