I was at a fancy work party recently and noticed something veeeery interesting: The balance in eveningwear had shifted from stylish gals in dresses to stylish gals in jumpsuits. Ladies in the know were attired in one-piecers of all ilks, from slinky and silky and shapeless to form-fitting and fab. Of course the coverall isn’t limited to […]
It’s our last day in India! It has been an adventure, to say the least. I’ve loved seeing this part of the world—meeting so many warm and welcoming people and learning more about how they live—and a part of me will be wistful to leave. At the same time, as is to be expected at […]
Can I just say that I feel like the most delinquent blogger ever? Keeping up with posting while here in India has turned out to be much more difficult than I expected—not because of a lack of Internet connectivity, but rather because we’re so non-stop from a.m. to p.m. that I hit the pillow exhausted each night! It’s […]
This week’s installment of Two Girls, One Kit is an ode to the perfect black pants. I might even be so bold as to say that they’re magic pants. They’re by an LA designer named Ripley Rader, who is not only a fashion genius but is also the nicest, warmest, most loving human on the […]
Holy cow, how is it Tuesday already? Seems like I was just posting last week’s installment of Two Girls, One Kit and now here we are with another one! I’ll be honest, it’s a challenge coming up with a unique look each week! It would of course be easy just to wear our same basics […]
Last February I got laser eye surgery and it’s been so refreshing not to wear my glasses every waking hour. Another bonus of the procedure? Not having to factor in the cost of my prescription every time I buy sunglasses! When I emerged from the operating room I had visions of an expanded sunglass wardrobe dancing […]
I had a moment over the weekend. It was one of those “put down the clothes and step away from the sales rack” kinda moments, when the security of your financial future is at stake lest you run fast and far from shopping temptation. I’d innocently crossed the threshold of a local lifestyle boutique, my sights […]
The ability to discover new stores and brands is one of my top reasons for loving Instagram (and one of the charms I’m most worried will fade with the new Instagram algorithm, but that’s another post for another time…) Seeing where style-setters around the world are shopping is like getting a glimpse into regional style, without setting […]
I try a lot of beauty products. The free sample program at Sephora is my playground! Most of the lotions and potions I bring home are forgettable, especially to someone like me who prefers to keep her routine idiot proof. But every once in a while I stumble on a hair, skincare, or makeup product that […]
Happy Monday, all! Firstly, please let me apologize for last week’s light posting. Let’s just say that a cat with a broken foot and a dog with an appetite for ibuprofen do not leave much time for anything else! Thankfully things around the house have settled down a smidge, leaving me a little more brain space […]
