Happy 2011! It’s been nice taking the week off from blogging, though the work continues on behind the scenes. Many end of year rush jobs, prepping for new clients, sending out invoices, filling out my new Moleskine planner and of course, cleaning. Here are some snapshots from my last week. Regular posting will resume on [...]

For me, 2010 was a monumental shift for both my personal life and career. 2009 closed with a surprise road trip, the murder at the mountain and meeting up with Joey for the first time. During that final week, little glimmers of hope started popping up after a really disappointing year. And, when the calendar [...]

Though I try my best to keep my blog updated regularly, realistically it probably only covers 10% of my life. I’m one of those people that’s always strived to keep my online life and everyday life separate — of course there’s always going to be some crossover but I believe that you’ve got to make sure [...]

When I celebrate birthdays on my own, they tend to be pretty low-key. It just seems like too much trouble to put together a massive party so I usually end up at a bar with a handful of friends. But, in the last few years since I’ve known Gala, that’s all changed. She is a [...]

The GeeWaWa Femme (a.k.a. THE CLAW) is definitely not for the faint of heart. Equal parts Gene Simmons and Minnie Mouse, it’s a monstrous powerhouse that screams, “I mean business!” when you enter the room. The gnarliest mary jane on the planet, the Femme allows you to look cute while kicking ass. I had never [...]

Today wouldn’t be complete without a little shout-out to my all-time favorite Virgo, Michael Jackson. It goes without saying that his influence and legacy will live on forever. I remember when I used to show up to my first agency job and the boys would say, “You look like Michael Jackson!” Ha. I thanked them [...]

Exactly one week ago, we came, we saw and we conquered Disneyland. Though I’d been to Disney World three times in the past, I’d only been to Disneyland once previously (last February) and since it was during Spring Break and overly crowded, I didn’t feel like I’d gotten the full experience. This year, I was [...]

It’s still toasty outside but Fall is already on my mind. While on vacation in Los Angeles earlier this week, I found the most perfect scarf at H&M. Black and white with a graphic print, to me it has a very Marimekko feel. New accessories are a great way to freshen up a mostly monochromatic [...]

Greetings from sunny Los Angeles! I’ve had an amazing time so far with my Virgo Partner in Crime™ Gala Darling. Highlights include trekking through the winding hills of Topanga Canyon to visit a vintage store housed in a crazy victorian manor, dining on smashed macaroons courtesy of Miss Mary Bee, walking along the beach in [...]

What was your style like as a teenager? How did you dress and what kind of fashion were you into? 16 and Sleeping, 1997 — Photo by Auntie Nubs. Ah, the teenage years! It’s very funny to think back to the not so distant late 90s, when I was in high school (I’m focusing on [...]
