Mini Tip: Switch Up Your Earrings
I'm on set several days this week for a Snuggle campaign (which means - yes - that I get to meet The Bear at some point; I am weirdly excited about this). The crew working on this project includes some of my absolute favorite people in the industry, such as hair and makeup artist Kerry Lou (pictured with me above), videographer John (who shot all of my JITH segments), and stylist Felix, who I've known for years and who never fails to send me home with some completely random (and genius) wardrobe idea that I would never, ever have thought of on my own.
Yesterday's Felix Wisdom: when you're wearing earrings with a detail on only one side (like the pair pictured above), try putting them on your ears the reverse way, with the post going through from the back, so that the side with the detail frames your face - as opposed to only being visible when you turn your head. (Especially good if you're taking lots of forward-facing photographs, such as for a wedding.)

I don't know whether it's the warm air or what, but something's in the water lately: everyone is just so nice. The other day I went into the city to shoot a segment and hung around for awhile afterwards to get a few errands done (including a stop into Anthropologie to return a broken necklace, which I exchanged for the completely amazing tank pictured here)…and it was lovely.
As a point of reference, what usually happens when I go into the city for the day is I am instantly reminded of all the things about city life that make me glad that I'm close by, but no longer a resident. Like the people. Who are very numerous, and often very angry. And that many people being that angry…it makes me angry, too. And I hate hate hate being angry, because I get rude, and then I instantly feel guilty and beat myself up about it for the remainder of the day. A few weeks ago when I went in for a meeting I was trying to get off of the subway and got so frustrated by the fact that not one single person would move away from the door and allow me to take even one single step off that I actually yelled:
How-To: Perfect Self-Tanner Application
It’s happening!
Finally, the warm weather is just about here. But while most of us are certainly ready to embrace the sun’s rays in spirit, we (meaning me, as you can see here) could still use a little prep work before we start skipping off in shorts and skirts with our winter-pale skin out for all to see.
To the rescue: the perfect self-tanner application.
