While Autumn might have been a more appropriate time to be inspired by Dios De Los Muertos fabric, these colors are so cheerful and summery, I was moved to try and find some corresponding nail polish:

I borrowed this ring from my mother five years ago, and let her know I would never be returning it. Thankfully, she agreed to let me keep it (ah, the sacrifice of mothers!).
I wear it all the time–you’ve seen it in several of my photos here (for example).
It’s huge, so it’s been knocked around a [...]

If you have been follwing my website for a while, you may know that organization is not exactly one of my strongpoints. But–everything in its right place! I keep a bunch of jewelry in this vintage wooden purse.
It [...]

Let me tell you about an exclusive shopping community that I was invited to recently. I’m a member of a few private shopping websites where you get great discounts via secret sample sales, but ideeli.com is by far the best. Like other invitation-only communities, ideeli gives you exclusive access to limited-time-only sales where designer items [...]

I found these socks at a random bodega in Philadelphia. They were the ugliest pair on the rack, so of course I had to adopt them!
They’re gray with pink leopard spots, red roses, and bright green leaves. They’re absolutely hideous–and I love that about them. It’s like what my grandmother used to say about the [...]

Saw one band that sounded like Pavement, and another that sounded like Slint. I prefered the latter, but it was all good. Later we went to an afterparty where I raided a friend’s vinyl collection.
This is what I wore:
Black halter top, J.Crew
Multicolor-striped extra-long halter top, Gadzooks (lolol…)
Target skinny jeans
Bamboo shoes (they’re new, I’m kind [...]

OK, I’ll admit it. I am horrible at incorporating fresh fruits into my diet. It’s shameful. I buy fruit, have some of it, and then let the rest of it go bad while my attention is automatically redirected to burritoes. (It’s true!) I take my vitamins, and I’m okay with vegetables. A meal should never [...]

Need a quick pick-me-up? Get up and dance or jump around to this song. Do some stretches during the build-up, then sit-ups, jumping-jacks, invisibile hop-scotch… whatever, just keep moving! The catchy beat will keep you going at a fast pace, and before you know it, you’ll have spent 10 minutes doing aerobics, which will boost [...]

The Today Sponge is a wildly popular method of birth control for women in monogamous relationships who choose not to take birth control pills. The sponge does not contain any hormones, but rather, spermicide, and it acts as a barrier against sperm entering the cervix. It works much like a diapraghm, but unlike a diaphragm, [...]

How glamorous are these? They make cocktails so much fun! I love to use them with my rose-colored rocks glasses. They’re so much more festive and “gin & tonic dahling” than just regular ice cubes and regular rocks glasses.
