Face Bras: They’re a Thing.
I know. I KNOW. I was so disturbed that I wrote all about it on Babble. Read more →
Tattoo Test Drive: Temp Tats for Grown-Ups
[me sporting Feather, by Jen Mussara] It’s weird, as a kid I thought I was being all responsible to my future self by not getting visible tattoos (I have three easy-to-cover tattoos, but nothing on my arms/back/chest/neck/etc.). Now, as an adult, I’m all about visible ink, and getting ready to take the plunge. Which is why Tattly makes me all… Read more →
Blonde Ambition
{via} Ugh, MW is like my style idol. I used to call her “duck face” when she was on Dawson’s Creek, and well…the jokes on me now on account of her undeniable awesomeness, talent, and beauty. {via} I mean really. {via} Growing out a super cropped pixie cut is a challenge. I’m working on doing it with grace and style,… Read more →
Yup, I Could Totally Use A Stylist All The Time.
This is what I look like shopping for myself: A hot mess, you guys. A hot, hot mess. And not the good kind of hot. The sweaty kind of hot that you don’t want trying on clothes before you. Next week, I’ll be heading to Salt Lake City for a quick stint speaking at the Altitude Design Summit, which is… Read more →
The Infinite Wisdom of Winnie The Pooh
This week, A.A. Milne, the father of Winnie The Pooh, celebrated his (posthumous) 132nd Birthday. Pooh himself turns 88 this year, having now bestowed his infinite wisdom on easy SIX generations. The inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and of course Winnie The Pooh himself have been mutual friends of our great… Read more →
We’ll Talk About My Raging Case of Feminism Later.
Spoiler Alert: I’m going to talk about things that happened on Season 4 Episode 2 (or are they calling it 3?) of Downton Abbey. Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen it and don’t want to know what happens/be outraged. You guys. You guys. I don’t remember kicking Julian Fellowes in the balls, but I must have, because it’s like he hates… Read more →
I Got A New Wallet And I Love It
It’s made of Tyvek house wrap, and this particular limited collection is the love child of paperwallet’s collaboration with Pianofuzz. So much sturdier than my big clunky fancy leather ladies wallet that I thought I needed to be an official grown up (and so much thriftier). And it fits my phone in it to boot if I want to carry it… Read more →
Photoshopping Weight On. I mean really.
Real live actual women barely stand a chance. It seems when inches are not being shaved off in Photoshop, they’re being added on. Is it any wonder that our body ideals are skewed when the photographs we’re bombarded with on the regular are not actually photographs but are more like photo-hybrid painting things that create an unattainable concept of feminine… Read more →
Dee’s Sculptural Headband Holder
My friend Nick made this for her, and I’ve been meaning to show it to you guys forever. Because it’s freaking awesome. Not only did it solve our overflowing headband problem (headbands have been the only form of hair-restraint Dee will allow for quite some time) but it’s oh so pretty. Like a little sculpture for her bedside table. Which makes… Read more →
