i don't believe in ghosts. i mean, i don't mind casper (he is after all, the friendly ghost) but as far as spirits and goblins and things that tend to be associated with halloween go, i think those things belong in a horror movie and not much more. anyway, while i don't subscribe to formerly dead humans ...
the end of an era
i walked into the studio that day unaware of just what i was getting myself into. i was humbled to say the least. and sore, so very sore. but i stuck with it. and low and behold, two and a half years later (nearly to the day), i can't really imagine my life before pure ...
cows, chows, & vows: wedding weekend in austin
it is important to note that no actual cows were seen and/or pet during my trip to austin. (vegetarians/vegans look away) there were a few cows consumed during said trip (not by yours truly to be clear), but i really just wanted the title to rhyme, hence the reason for the gratuitous cattle reference. but in my ...
blog crush friday: kendi everyday
let me tell you a story about kendi. i stumbled upon her blog a few years back and immediately fell in love. with her fashion, with her hilarious and perfectly sarcastically composed commentary, with her adorable little texas life. furthermore, she single-handedly restored my faith in the gap franchise, so my wardrobe is very thankful ...
austin or bust
and i'm off, y'all! as you're reading this i'm flying at 32,000 feet en route to texas' capital city to kick-off the wedding weekend of one of my high school/college friends. over the next 72 hours, i foresee a lot of sweating (my iPhone forecast calls for triple digit temps), dancing (i plan on camping ...
the sartorial superbowl
i know football season is officially underway and for many of you, that's the only F-word you care about these days. but there's another little event that has been going on all week in new york city that also starts with an "F," and it's called fashion week. basically the superbowl for the sartorial world. and while ...
never forget
while i'll always feel blessed for a number of reasons to have attended to pepperdine university (for one, let's talk about the location, shall we?), i feel a little extra blessed and honored to have attended the private institution this time of year. because every 9/11, the school displays 2,977 american flags -one for every one of ...
the kevin bacon game
we've all heard of the kevin bacon game, better known as "six degrees of kevin bacon" -the concept that everyone in hollywood can be connected back to kevin bacon in less than six steps. i haven't tested it out myself, but i feel like i might be fairly good at the game given my embarrassingly ...
life at the lake
i grew up near the beach. i know, it was a rough childhood, let me tell you. i have memories of spending afternoons gallivanting amongst the tide pools, searching for seashells, squishing sea anemones, and getting tangled in some serious seaweed. so what i'm about to say might be a little controversial. controversial in the ...
happiness is
an unexpected compliment. a really really good bear hug. over-sized sweatpants. bedhead. a sex and the city marathon. laughing until your abs hurt. a three-hour coffee date. the smell of cinnamon. a really ripe peach. baby smell. a well-stocked produce section. hearing your favorite song on the radio. snail mail. football season. hearing your parents tell you they're proud of you. a really good nap. and a really good hair day. neon pink. room service. at ...
