{we rearranged again} When I was nine years old, I remember being in the car with my Dad one evening, around twilight. We were turning off of our cul-de-sac, probably heading out to pick up Italian Food, and in a few months, the first Iraq war would break out. We’d been learning about US history in school and my idea… Read more →

“Moms Who Drink And Swear”: Can We Talk About This Modern Mom As Frat Boy Image?
This month, Nicole Knepper released her hilarious book “Moms Who Drink And Swear” based on her blog of the same name. It’s insanely funny, which isn’t surprising if you’ve read Nicole before. But it also got me self-reflecting a bit. As I looked at her book sitting a top a pile on my nightstand of other recent releases in its… Read more →
“What Kind Of Hippie Am I? I’m A Business Hippie.”
Several years and a whole other life ago I was working on the Windows “I’m A PC” campaign when I stumbled across these photos of Bill Gates posing for Tiger Beat Magazine circa 1983 or so. They’ve basically stuck in my mind as “the greatest thing ever” ever since… {Floppy Disks Are Sexy.} Like, seriously who directed this photo shoot,… Read more →
Casual Fridays: Blogging Life Is Hard And I’m Freaking Exhausted.
{Molly Ringwald photographed by Andy Warhol, Circo 1985… …and I’m pretty sure that’s The Bangles lead singer Suzanna Hoffs on the left.} This week has done me in good. I’m wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and my favorite lounge pants that Scott gave me for Christmas the year we got married, but I can’t take a picture for you right… Read more →
Fifteen Things I Learned About Style From My Three-Year-Old Daughter
Growing up what I wore was how I shared my personality with the world. (That’s actually me at age five up there, with my friend Megan on the right.) If I felt it, I looked it (or at least, wore it) and as I got older I loved every second of thrifting and styling and changing and changing and changing… Read more →
Dogs Wearing Pantyhose
I…….can not stop laughing. Or being horrified. Or feeling like I’ve been looking at something I shouldn’t be. It’s just so damn weird. Dogs…wearing pantyhose. Or as the Chinese call it: “Gou Gou Chuan Siwa”. […continue reading…] Read more →
Where Purgeday Thursday Meets Casual Friday; And Not Just Because I’m Lazy!
Since I was too busy purging my ASS OFF yesterday to get a post up, {where by “purging my ass off” I mean “crying in to my taxes”} I thought this would be a great opportunity to tie our crap cutting in with our lounge-wear-wearing (if you’re a fellow lounge wear wearer) and talk about how you cut the crap… Read more →
In Celebration Of What’s New
Have you heard Al Green’s cover of The Beatles “I Want To Hold Your Hand”? Because it’s basically the greatest arrangement of a song ever. I can’t stop smiling, despite a few clouds. {Hunting for Easter Eggs…L.A. Style.} Read more →
The Miniature People Are Judging You.
I have no idea how these came in to my life, but I’m glad they did. This ongoing, international street art installation by Slinkachu is called “The Little People Project“. Each one of these makes me smile. {If you shared them with me, please take credit.} {images via The Little People Project} Read more →
I Got All Obsessed With Lavender Hair On Pinterest. So I Gave Myself Some.
It started with this photo. I love it. I’ve always wanted purple hair…. {via} Scott often likes to remind me (often meaning since I started jabbering about coloring my hair purple a few months ago) that I had purple hair, which is technically true, but then I grew up and I was sure I would never be able to color… Read more →
