This Is Today

February 17, 2015

You know when you are delicately toeing the line between feeling totally a-OK and maybe having the bubonic plague, and the difference between one state and the other, is, like, half an hour of sleep, or maybe a vitamin?

Well, when you are feeling that way, here is what I suggest that you not do: go out until one in the morning, drink really quite a lot of champagne, and then wake up with your children at…oh god, I don't even know when they're waking up these days. ALL THE TIME. All the time is when they're waking up.

How To Contour Your Cheeks

February 13, 2015

Look, I am not a Kim (or even a Kourtney). I like makeup, but I don't want to spend forever and twenty minutes doing it. And while I'm not a total disaster when it comes to doing my makeup, contouring always seemed like something best left to people far more talented than I. Like, presumably, Kim. And Kourtney.

As it turns out? It's really easy. And fast. And non-intimidating. (Promise.)

In The Real World

February 13, 2015

This is what I wear.

Glasses.

Jeans. The same pair, every single day (except for the days I pry them off of my legs to throw them in the wash).

February Favorites

February 10, 2015

What I'm excited about this month: all things green and gold, simple silhouettes, a little hint of romance, and a few pieces that are getting me all atwitter about the warm weather that's (theoretically) on its way.

1. Wayfair Moroccan Tea Glasses ($38.99). I have a set of vintage gold-edged Moroccan tea glasses that my aunt found for me at a flea market in Canada and that I use for everything: wine, water, lemonade, to serve snacks, as little mini-vases for centerpieces…everything. And I recently broke one, and was extremely sad about it. This set would make a lovely replacement (isn't that shade of green so gorgeous??).

2. YLighting Rocket dWelLED Pendant Light ($198). Pendant lights run the gamut from crazy-ornate to utilitarian and minimalist, but I especially love the aesthetic of this one: it's got a super-straightforward shape…but it's gold. Best of both worlds.

3. Kelly Wearstler Saint's Hand Sculpture ($225). I'm into all things Kelly Wearstler at the moment (especially this ring, ooooh), and also have a minor obsession with hand sculptures (which can be used to display jewelry, or just set out wherever because they're so freaking cool looking). This one is so striking, so simple, so beautiful.

There’s A Whale In My Pocket

February 9, 2015

You know how all the kids these days are into late eighties/early nineties fashion? Actual, under-the-legal-drinking-age children who don't even know who Kirk Cameron is are wandering around all "oh I totally invented this bowler hat and chiffon dress look" (no you didn't, that was Winona Ryder).

Well, my darlings, I'll see you your velvet choker and flowered baby doll and raise you A DENIM JACKET WITH A PUFFY PASTORAL SCENE ON IT.

Oh you heard me right.

I feel like there are some things that, when discovered, must be purchased regardless of actual appeal or utility in one's life. Do I have any particular need for a jacket that might actually be the ugliest article of clothing ever created? A jacket that has whales coming out of the pockets?! (Let's not even get into the procession of cows strolling across the back.)
