Whitney Houston’s passing is one of those life moments when you will always remember where you were when you learned of it. For me, I’d like to remember another time. My sister, Bec, and I had been with our mom in the fabric store for a while as she looked for the perfect materials for [...]

In 8th grade, I asked my mom if I could borrow her chocolate brown turtleneck sweater. It had a sophistication that my chunky American Eagle/Abercrombie & Fitch/Aeropostale sweaters had been lacking. It was a sweater that didn’t wear me. The fitted sleeves glided over my arms and the body’s roominess allowed me to breathe an [...]

I like to pride myself on having a quite diverse walk-in closet, housing randomness in the forms of a sequin cat top, a yellow Aztec print jumpsuit, jeans with borderline-inappropriately large mesh panels, and everything in between. Or should I say, nearly everything. Yesterday was National Argyle Day around the country and more significantly, around [...]

Zara jacket and jeans, Farylrobin boots via Zappos, Hanes men’s undershirt via Target, Carrot + Coriander ring, Dita sunglasses, Fendi handbag Taking photos at The Grove is not ideal with all of the passersby, but I was meeting up with a passerby through my college period who I hadn’t seen in awhile. He was passing [...]

Asos dress, Kathryn Amberleigh shoes via Shopbop, Gold Saturn headband via Nasty Gal, Maui Divers ring, handbag bought in Hong Kong When I moved to Los Angeles, my favorite months of the year became September and October because of their potential for 81 degree days like this. I get to skip through the sunshine while [...]

Here are some Halloween costumes from my childhood. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. My sister, Bec of Style with Benefits, and I as Minnie and Mickey, respectively. I actually still wear that blue and white polka dot scarf- but I use it as a headband. Bec was the Raggedy Ann to my Andy. [...]

This is my submission for the Bloomingdale’s Pink Campaign. I stated my breast cancer awareness pledge and submitted a childhood photo of my sister, Bec of Style with Benefits, and me wearing the applicable pink (I’m on the right).  Recently, someone in my life had a lump removed and because of her, I want to [...]

In honor of Halloween, I was looking for old Halloween costume photos of my sister, Bec of Style with Benefits, and me. While this was not for Halloween, we were still in costume for a 50′s party (I’m on the right). I still remember my mom showing me the blue poodle skirt she had made- [...]

On October 5, 2011, before learning of Steve Jobs’ passing on Twitter, I had tweeted: Life is good when you get to interview @paulwalker47 – he keeps it real and pretty. A friend had replied asking “the guy from the Skulls?” to which I tweeted: Word. Seconds later, I retweeted: RT @MarcHustvedt Oh man, saddest [...]

Vintage robe via the Rose Bowl Flea Market, American Apparel bodysuit, True Religion shorts via Shopbop, Report Signature shoes via Shopbop On Friday night, I was like an adolescent girl strutting up to the stage at The Mint in Los Angeles and planting myself front and center within touching distance of Mr. Belle. Andrew Belle, [...]

Victoria’s Secret romper, men’s Insight51 shirt via Urban Outfitters, Pixie Market loafers, my mother’s scarf twisted into a headband I’m wearing pajamas out. Sometimes you just want to. Like the time I saw a little boy wearing airplane ones from his long sleeves to his bottoms. He wanted to fly. In his PJs. You’re a [...]

Growing up in a New Jersey suburb where the lush parks were my playground three seasons of the year, the Jersey shore became my sandy ground for play. I jumped the waves, launched cartwheels, sculpted sand turtles, and played cards at my leisure. And I did some walking. I’d take the longest walks with my [...]
