The Mule Game
Womp, womp. Whap, whap. Clack, clack. Familiar sounds? Yes, it the sound dub step music makes. It is a sound of loss heard on a game show. It is, according to Urban Dictionary, something that is completely not up to regular standards. A succession of clicks. An annoying gum chewer. All above... Read More
January 1 2014
I am going to consume under 500 calories a day. No more wine. No new designer shoes in the year 2014. In fact no shoes the entire year. I will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. I am going to finish two books a week. Sound familiar? I hate New Year’s resolutions. We... Read More
The Only Thing That is Constant Is Change
2013 was about meeting new friends, finding new ways to get a good night’s sleep, learning how to twerk, and conquering old dysfunctional tasks.

Chalet Girl
Packing for a trip is never an easy task. Packing for a sunny climes is simple: throw on a few bikinis, jumpsuits, flip flops, sunscreen, caftans, some bling, and a hat or two for frolicking on the beach and you’re good to go. Alternately, packing for a ski vacation is rough.... Read More
The Golden Hour
Because it’s Monday, and here we are back again at the only time of year where it’s acceptable to gorge on pork, dairy products, and peppermint-sprinkled sugar cookies for three weeks straight.

Perhaps it’s a marketing miss or overall consumer apathy. Last year’s trends, those UGG boots I keep telling you not to... Read More
Fringe Benefits
My style icon, Phoebe Philo, makes herself very clear about the importance of minimalism, and in the name of fashion, adopting the French attitude that less is more.

Last Minute Grab Bag

Along with 14 new songs, the visual album includes 17 music videos that were recorded and shot in Bey’s hometown of Houston, in her Tribeca apartment in New York, in the... Read More
Keeping Warm, Staying Cool
Since it’s been so effin’ cold of late, all I’ve been doing is scrolling through street style blogs, attempting to make bummer bars and puppy chow, and wrapping gifts for the impending holiday. Although the editorials tell us to drape our winter coats over our shoulders to be oh-so-chic for... Read More
