Whelp, it’s official. I’ve been struck down by this winter’s latest scourge, the strange flu-cold-whatever that’s been making the rounds. Though currently on day 5 of bedrest with no improvement in sight, I’m doing my best to stay upbeat on my steady diet of tea and toast and Twitter. It’s all about perspective, after all, […]
On Friday, Punxsutawney Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow, destining us (if you believe the hype) to six more weeks of winter. Who knows what that means in practice, given the inconsistent temperature patterns that each season seems to bring these days, but at least in theory we can count on reaching for our cold […]
Happy Friday! Did you catch yesterday’s first post in my deep-dive into our kitchen renovation? Don’t worry, I’ll be back with more resources and insights next week but thought it would be nice to take a little break from kitchen talk for some fashion! Thus I bring you the visual vacation that is Selah x […]
Every time someone asks me about my skin type, I shrug and say, ‘I dunno!’ Because honestly, I’ve got a little bit of everything going on. I break out at certain times of the month, whenever I stray from my healthy eating habits, and occasionally for no apparent reason at all. But I also get […]
I’m writing this post on a plane headed back to Los Angeles after seven days in Toronto, and I’m feeling a little wistful about leaving the cold and snow behind. I know, it sounds like crazy talk, especially to people who have to deal with negative temps for the next three months, but I really […]
As I type this post, I’m wearing military green leggings and there are three army green jackets in my closet—plus one I keep in the car in case of chilly emergencies. Could army green be replacing my beloved black as my go-to color? Let’s not go that far, since black will always have a special place […]
We recently traded our IKEA bed frame for a gorgeous new upholstered one, and while I don’t regret it for a moment, making the aesthetic upgrade definitely meant sacrificing function, since the old bed had giant drawers beneath it where I kept all my shoes. Dragging all my footwear out from where I’d been stowing […]
This past summer, at every event and gathering I attended, the jumpsuit was the uniform de rigeur amongst all the chicest guests. Jumpsuits make perfect sense for sunny days and warm evenings: they combine the throw-on-and-go ease of a dress with an upped style ante that’s all their own. When the mercury drops, though, they’re just […]
Do you ever find that the pieces in your wardrobe that challenge you the most inspire outfits that delight you the most? Maybe it’s because of the extra effort you had to put in to make them work, but there’s something about the satisfaction of taking an item outside your usual comfort zone and rocking […]
You know I’m always on the lookout for simple natural skincare brands that look as good in my medicine cabinet as they do on my skin, so when I heard about the San Francisco-based beauty line Monastery I dropped everything and rushed to their website! There I found a concise collection of botanically sourced products […]
Has the cool weather hit where you live? Here in LA, there was a brisk, chilly snap in the air as I walked the dogs this morning, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. Fall is here at last! In addition to cooler temps, changing leaves, and pumpkin-flavored everything, my favorite season brings with […]
I’ve just returned from High Point Market, where I spent four glorious days wandering the showrooms and touring the new collections from established and up-and-coming interiors brands alike. The trip was a success by every measure: I connected with friends old and new, got a solid sense for the trends and happenings of the design […]
