En Route to Sophie Elgort Studio Event
Wearing my absolute favorite new lip gloss in the world (discovered at today's NARS Fall Preview event, which I covered for NadineJolie.com; write-up to come) to tonight's Sophie Elgort Studio Launch at Alibi Salon.
Apartment Gardening
Via Yay! DIY: Apartment Gardening
"My kitchen window receives at least two hours of sunlight every day – so I put a small planter there with two basil plants, an oregano plant and a Venus fly trap (for fun) to see if they could survive. I’m forever buying bushels of herbs at the grocery store, using them for one meal and then watching as they go bad in the fridge. I wanted to stop being so wasteful, and also have herbs on demand. So far, so good!..."
One of the many things that I excel at is killing plants, so I'm looking forward to using some of Yay! DIY's gardening tips to keep my new buddy Tompkins Thyme alive and well. I'd love a windowsill herb garden, but I'll see if T.T. makes it an entire month before investing in some basil, oregano, and rosemary friends for the little guy.

Last night, Kendrick and I were slogging our way home through the rain when we suddenly decided that we couldn't go one step further without some pasta...and stopped into a totally random spot that we pass every single day of our lives, but have never before thought to try out: Tony's Di Napoli.
Look At How Sad Rainy Days Make Me
They make me so bedraggled. And damp. Not quite this bedraggled and damp, though:
Kendrick Cooked!
A few weeks ago, I had the following conversation with Kendrick:
Via TheGloss.com: British Magazine Photoshops Weight Onto Skinny Model.
"Tons of magazines have come under fire for photoshopping women featured in their pages in order to make them appear skinnier. (Kelly Clarkson on the cover of Self, anyone?) So, what should they do in response to the outcry? Plenty of publications have started using au naturel photos, whether that means simply eschewing Photoshop or featuring models and celebrities not wearing any makeup. However, the British women’s magazine Healthyactually added extra weight to a model they deemed too thin..."
Also via TheGloss, unrelated but equally fascinating: I Actually Like My Pubic Hair.
"As a twenty five year old American female, I am acutely aware of the hullabaloo surrounding hoo-has. With summer upon us, and many talking of bald, even decorated, vaginas, it's easy to forget that some people don't go in for any of it. And, as it so happens, "some people" is a group that includes yours truly. I'm not a smelly hippie, or a raver, or, God forbid, one of those burning man people. But I've never removed my pubic hair since it first sprouted, and, despite what the media would have you believe, you don't have to either, if you don't want..."
Aaand…Sunday
Sunday consisted mostly of sitting on the couch, giggling and watching these two creatures do their thing. (BTW, that's Lucy's favorite place to hang, and her favorite position. She's an odd one.)
