My Hair Growth Plan: All the tears and products.

My Hair Growth Plan: All the tears and products.

I am that girl at the hair salon. The one cringing in her seat while the stylist, who is most likely annoyed beyond words, trims off just the slightest measurement from my dead, fried strands. I can’t help it. My mother had long, lustrous locks of which she wore like a badge of honor through much of her late teens and early 20’s. It was a legacy I was more than happy to uphold, until, well, I…

R.I.P LBD

For decades, possibly even centuries, women have gone straight to the LBD for all of their fancy schmancy events, and while I’d still fall to my knees with gratitude for Coco Chanel, can we please not all succumb to a life of only one option? There are so many affordable alternatives that will make you a welcomed stand out in a sea of black dresses, more than one of which was probably worn to an…

Etta and Otto and Russell and James

I’ve gone. I’ve never seen the water, so I’ve gone there. I will try to remember to come back.

It’s important to note that I started reading Etta and Otto and Russell and Jamesas a last stitch effort at salvaging some sanity after what is proving to be a very long, and arguably miserable Winter. The result was a delightful mix of magical realism and down right charm. Time has no boundaries and…

Something I’ve been thinking hard on : Tattoos.

Ethereal princess and upper east side prepsters rejoice, Rebecca Minkoff just supplied you with a closet filled with enviable pastels. There is little surprise when it comes to the beauty of this collection, Minkoff has been sending her romantic urban creations down the runway since 2009 with nothing but praise from the critics.

This collection is no exception. The classic white shirt is no stranger to this line-up of Hampton Chic dresses and endless Summer nights on Brooklyn rooftops. Rebecca is a bred New York designer, and all these looks fit seamlessly into the city she adores.

Here are some of my favorites. Share yours in the comments.

Labor Day | Laurita Winery

Labor Day | Laurita Winery

I spent the better half of Labor Day touring the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey. It was a steamy day, which means we hurried our ice cold sangrias under the shade and enjoyed some of the live folk music. Compared to the past two days, the winery was a much needed escape from the usual holiday weekend chaos.

I was also able to reflect back on this amazing Summer. I have accumulated so…

In defense of Lena Dunham's dress

In defense of Lena Dunham’s dress

I first became a fan of Miss Dunham after stumbling across her film Tiny Furniture on Netflixa few years back. The movie was a painfully relatable tale about a young woman adjusting to life after college, a subject which has been examined and retold close to 100 million times. In spite of that fact, the writing and character development was innovative and uniquely entertaining. Dunham managed to…

Stop everything, Emma Stone just shut it down.

Stop everything, Emma Stone just shut it down.

It doesn’t get much better than Emma Stone at the premiere of “Birdman” in this gauzy black Valentino. Her fair skin and new short ‘do compliment the dress perfectly, I personally love that she kept the jewelry to a minimum with just a few gold rings.

The actress departed from the bold colors and quirky hair styles we have seen from her in the past, all of which were gorgeous, and opted for a…
