Last weekend, we grabbed Take Me Home Tonight from the local RedBox… and while I’ll leave you to judge where this movie falls on the “so bad it has to be sort of good?” meter… this video is by far the best remnant of the film if you are a child of the ‘80s.

When the preview link for the new Buddy Holly tribute album, “Rave On” popped up on NPR’s website on Monday, I was super excited. I’m not sure when exactly I became a crazed Buddy Holly aficionado, but it started somewhere with memorizing “American Pie” around the age of 8, [...]
GAP. Nike. Lacoste. UCLA.
No, I’m not crazy. UCLA is more than just a school, but an actual BRAND on its own. As in, there are standalone stores (over 60!!!) in other countries (China, S. Korea, Japan) that sell the UCLA logo and campus aura, just like Hollister is sold like a surf [...]
On Saturday, we escaped from the warmth of the valley to the foggy breeze of the city for a little bit of a theatre treat. Through a very random series of events, Hugh Jackman decided to debut a one-man show in San Francisco for a very limited engagement at the [...]
As an anniversary gift, a push present, or just a fun memento… these calendar necklaces are a pretty spiffy way to remember a date!
This Sunday, “the best dresses” of Target’s 5-year GO International collection comes back to stores one more time! Essentially, if you missed out on getting one of the coveted items the first time around, you’ve got one more chance to do it! I’m excited because I lived in LA at the start of the collection, [...]
This is me 2 minutes after a shower, including a 30-second date with my hair dryer. It’s 1 minute after I rescued a screaming baby from the throws of a bad naptime dream. And it’s midday on a lazy Sunday.
I’m a daily makeup wearer just to even my skin tone and brush [...]

If you asked me who my favorite current author was, I would quickly shout back, “Nick Hornby!” without a moment of hesitation. You can blame my enthusiasm on either my lack of time for an extensive reading list, or just the fact that I’ve never laughed so hard out loud as I [...]

I apologize HBO… but I’m not going to be a fan of Boardwalk Empire. I saw the pilot episode, and it was done amazingly well. I was impressed with the clothing, the light, the sets, the acting, and even the artful way that you dealt with the mob hits. But at the end of [...]
. A co-worker was talking to me today about how cupcakes were the latest fad and trend.
I actually told her I thought cupcakes were long “over” and done. But I thought my view might be jaded, since I’d been a “first month” Sprinkles customer, so maybe I’ve just been around since [...]

If you have an iPhone… you needed to purchase Hipstamatic yesterday. Now I’m sure this is old news to so many people out there, especially all of you insanely creative readers (yes you!), but I didn’t take the leap until my iPhone was capable of taking non-grainy photos.

Basically, you [...]
This past winter I had a signature season color. I didn’t realize it until I was moving my winter clothes to the corner of the closet the other day… but I seemed to have a strong affinity to one particular hue this winter. And the color?
