Riiiiiight where The 818 and Hollywood converge, sits the Millard Kaufman Residence — a dreamy house built in 1949 and later expanded by Richard Neutra. It’s listed at 2.5 million dollars, which I don’t have, but if I did, you could bet your ass I would be moving in like, this weekend. Which like, fuck you forever LA real estate market, because… Read more →
Category: Stuff I Would Buy if I Could
Valley Artist Natalia Fabia’s Work Is Truly Truly Truly Outrageous
From time to time I meet people who read this blog and have no idea what The818 is. (Even more frequently I meet people who don’t read this blog and have no idea what The818 is, but I digress.) And then other times I meet people who are like “No way, The818.com? How was that even available? I would totally buy… Read more →
Get Your Zen On With Grown-Up Coloring Books
It’s a sad day here in the San Fernando Valley — our local Sanrio store is going out of business. Gone are the days of Kerokerokeroppi and 20 color pens within walking distance, and so when Delilah and I discovered the news on a recent trip to the mall, I decided we could each choose one thing to remember Hello Kitty’s motley… 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 →

How Not To Get Maced: A Black Friday Shopping Guide
{via} A week from today, once our bellies are full of Turkey, a sinister darkness will descend over the US. THE LURE OF BARGAIN PRICES. I understand the pull. Remember, I ran with the brides to score my Vera Wang wedding gown at a 60% markdown. The force of half-off is strong, but this is one time of year it’s best… Read more →
Pure Inspiration: Mica Hendricks & Her Four Year Old Make Beautiful Collaborations
Maybe you’ve seen this already. A few weeks ago it seems to have made quite the splash on the Internet, but I am just a little too wrapped up in my own mind at the moment to stay abreast of all the good things the Internet has to offer lately. I’ll shake it off shortly. Illustrator, graphic designer, and fellow… Read more →
Do You Want To Freak Out? Moorea Seal Store: Like Crack For My Eyeballs
I think I’ve kind of acknowledged my girl-crush on my friend Moorea before. And I’m not one of these people that bandies about with the term girl-crush. I’m pretty sure that if you search my archives you’ll find it used exactly zero times. But Moorea? Everything she does is just so damn…cool. To start, she designs jewelry like this: And… Read more →

Clothes I’m Not Buying But Want To
I’ve gained weight. Which totally sucks. I hate gaining weight. But I’ve got a useless lump of coal where my thyroid should be and I’m a workaholic with poor self-care so inevitably every few years I plump up and have 30 lbs to battle back. Unless it’s a year I get pregnant in which case I have 100 lbs to… Read more →
