Sandals & Ugly Feet: Together at Last
I’ve just passed the two-year mark in L.A., thus far abstaining from those things called flip-flops, something I often find to be a minor personal victory. Except when I’m at the beach or the pool, which, having grown up on a lake, is perhaps actually less often than when I lived in Michigan. Flip flops are more […]
Are you Keep-ing?
You should be. If you thought online shopping was easy already, surfing from site to site via email promos or blog scrolling or just plain browsing, Keep takes it to another (fiscally dangerous) level. It’s a kind of combination of Pinterest and Stumble Upon, except better because it’s only for fashion and no one’s sharing casserole recipes. […]
What the F@#% is Normcore?
When I was a freshman in college at this uppity liberal arts school in Manhattan, two kids in my dorm dressed as NYC tourists for Halloween. They wore jorts and mom jeans with $2 I Heart NY tees, mock turtlenecks, and baseball caps. Added to the mix were the obligatory athletic shoes, probably New Balance […]
Jeremy Scott, Moschino, & the 90s: The Line Between Tacky & Fun
I’m a goofy girl, to be sure. I rushed to American Apparel when they released a tee plastered with Cookie Monster’s mug a few years back, and I’ll be the first to incorporate anything Star Wars related into my wardrobe (my R2-D2 iPhone case is a case among cases). But even though everyone and […]
To Reiterate: Pink is Here to Stay
Pink, pink, pink. I mentioned several months ago that pink is the new mint. I was correct–even more so than I could have imagined, considering the pink coat trend seems to have spread like wildfire–but I could have gone one step further to say that pink is the new everything. The pale, bubblegum shade of […]
I’m Loving: The Orphan’s Arms
In what seems to be a never-ending accidental discovery of British brands, I’m currently in love with a little brand whose uniqueness and whimsical sensibility is so utterly English, so completely nerdy and ominous, it’s a wonder I didn’t find them until now. Founded in 2010 by two dudes in East London, The Orphan’s Arms […]
Why Wrist Watches Are Still Relevant
As a kid, I never had any interest in owning a watch, and as the years went by and technology made them more and more superfluous–who needs a watch when you have a cell phone/tablet/laptop on you at all times?–I felt even less inclined to invest in one. Then I grew up and kind of […]
Superfluous Mobile App of the Week: Drake Shake
If you haven’t yet downloaded Drake Shake onto your handy dandy iPhone, do it now. I don’t care how you feel about Drake–whether you love him or hate him or share Ezra Koenig’s feelings of patronizing amusement. After posting the above picture on my Instagram account, I got a handful of new followers who are […]
Long Live the Basic Tee
As I approach my two year anniversary of living in the City of Angels, I realize that my style actually has evolved. But not in the way you think it would have. The thing is…it’s only evolved to become MORE atypical of L.A. Call it stubbornness (even in the face of practicality), but I still […]
Acne Studios Opening in Downtown LA
It sounds too good to be true–Acne Studios, the epitome of effortless cool and downtown chic with their staple knitwear and minimalist design, is opening their West Coast flagship store in Los Angeles, of all places. Alas, it’s all true–and this week you’ll get to see for yourself. Wednesday, December 18th marks the grand opening […]
