The only store you need

I used to hate J. Crew. Granted this was back in high school (when I was required to follow a dress code and dress pants, collared shirts, and knee-length skirts were the bane of my coolness) but today, I eat my words. Jenna Lyons, creative director at J. Crew, is a genius. Here’s a peek … Continue reading

Weekend Highlights from LA

A photo-heavy recap of my phenomenal LA summer weekend… FRIDAY: Saw This Is The End on Friday night (for the second time, sorry bout it) and the movie’s starring cast of Hollywood’s funniest does NOT disappoint.  Highlights include Michael Cera as a total coke fiend, skinny-fat Jonah Hill with an earring, Danny McBride being a … Continue reading

Weekend

Hi folks, it’s been a while. In the time since I last posted a style shot, I cut my hair twice, grew it out two inches, travelled to Boston and to Connecticut, and took and finished web dev and design classes. It’s good to be back. This is what I wore to run some errands … Continue reading

Movie Review: Frances Ha

I’d never heard the name Frances Ha until a friend suggested it, based on rave reviews.  I’m usually down for any type of flick because I simply love going to the movies, but hearing that the film was “similar to GIRLS, but with a more Indie vibe” I was already sold. Directed and co-written by … Continue reading

Lollapalooza in Pictures

I’ve gone to Lollapalooza five years running and each and every time is a completely unique experience. I’d count 2012 as the best one yet. Day One I wore a Nasty Gal floral crop shirt with DIY shredded high waisted denim shorts and harness boots. I accessorized with cocktail rings, a Rusted Revolution Holster handpiece, … Continue reading

Lake House

Father/daughter road trip off to a big bang! Look what we saw on the side of the road. In Indiana for a while with my family on my father’s side. We’re right along the lake next to Michigan’s border. It’s beautiful, but chilly. Not the tropic beach vacation I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I plan … Continue reading

Saturday Pitchfork Playlist

Quick post tonight — I’m going to Pitchfork tomorrow (alas, only one day), and I still have things to do… like picking out an outfit. Of course. The girly girl in me will never die. Pitchfork is the kid sister to Lollapalooza — laid back, low key, and a lot of fun. But when you’re pitted against … Continue reading

Summer Movie Guide 2012

I’m one of those people who loves the physical experience of going to the movies. I am by no means a movie buff or expert, but I do get out to see my fair share of films.  There’s something in the act of driving to the theater, ripping the ticket stub, buying snacks and choosing … Continue reading
