Hangin’ with the locals It’s true. I am obsessed with leherhosen and I live in a Bavarian-themed house. I love dirndls and cuckoo clocks. And, I blame it all on my parents. See, when I was growing up, we never took family vacations to Disneyland or theme parks. Every single year, we visited the same [...]

When I was staying with Bianca in New York two weeks ago, she took these photos of me late one night in her apartment building. Isn’t it gorgeous?! They are 100 years old and were recently redone — a moth motif runs throughout, all over the furniture and wallpaper. I found this dress a few months [...]

Las Vegas can be summed up as the equivalent of Disneyland for adults. The Strip is a road snaking through the barren desert with hotels large enough to house small cities. Inside some of the larger ones, it can easily take 20 minutes to weave your way from one end to the other. Once you [...]

The BCBG campaign featuring Jessica Stam in a red wig was one of my all-time favorites. The warm, orange-y hues on this page remind me so much of fall and I am beyond ready for it. I’ve been guzzling Starbucks Pumpkin Spice lattes and I just ordered my first-ever Topshop item — a big, hand-knit [...]

Last week, Gala, Molly, Jazzi and I were at the InStyle Lounge at Fashion Week and spotted these two striking ladies. The blonde looked at us and said “Personally, I’m more into avant garde fashion like you girls” as she clutched her wine glass with the longest silver fingernails I’d ever seen. She runs a [...]
