Even though I went to Georgia and will always root for the Bulldogs, I felt like I had to become a Navy fan when we moved to Annapolis a few years ago and lived at the Naval Academy. We had season tickets our first year, and then Toby was a company officer at the academy […]
It can be really, really hard to get dressed for work in the morning. Especially for women. I know I am almost constantly trying to figure out what is appropriate and professional and what is not, and dress codes like “business casual” or “business dress” don’t help. Many of the places I’ve worked have been […]
If you’ve ever seen a Kate Spade store, you could probably guess that I am 100 percent obsessed with everything they make. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw they were opening a new store at the Pentagon City mall — one Metro stop away from work and only a few away from […]
OK. I know I said that no one should ever wear jumpsuits, and that they are a crime against humanity (and your body). But recent fashion-related reality television events have caused me to change my mind slightly. First, Sheena on America’s Next Top Model All-Stars. Forgive this photo — I couldn’t find a picture online, […]
I’ve been doing a whole lot more eating than shopping and swimming lately. But I did want to share some awesome eyeshadow sets I picked up a while back. As anyone who read my Watchmen review knows, I am not exactly a big comic book person. (Although I do have a Batman pillowcase… but that’s […]
As you may recall, I started taking an adult ballet class in the fall. Now we’ve just started the new semester. But it seems I’m not the only one hitting the barre. Apparently undeterred by the ripping of flesh and cracking of toenails in Black Swan, fashionistas are signing up for online workouts with the […]
As I’ve mentioned before, summer is my favorite season. So fall is kind of a bummer, since it’s the end of summer. This may have something to do with the fact that fall doesn’t really exist in Phoenix, but I think it is mainly because I love the beach and don’t like the cold. However, […]
I made some lemon bars this weekend, but they didn’t turn out quite right. I will post photos and a recipe for some yummy pasta salad tomorrow, though. In the meantime: It turns out my eye shadow is stuck in the 90’s but my bun was way ahead of its time. At least according to […]
There is this awesome thing in NYC called Fashion’s Night Out. It features all sorts of parties and entertainment and giveaways and supermodels. It is so fabulous that even Serena and Blair will be there. But not all of us live in NYC. And we only wish we could dress like Serena and Blair (and even Little J., […]
I may have a slight Vogue problem. Only slight, though. I mean, owning 13 years worth of magazines is totally normal, right? Anyway. The September issue is the most important (and the heaviest) issue of the year. It is epic. There is even a fabulous documentary about it. But oddly, Halle Berry is the non-white […]
