A League of My Own: Being a Blackberry Outsider

So, I’ve moved to NYC for the summer, and my cousin/roommate has wasted no time in introducing me to her glamazon downtown world of secret clubs, semi - big names and other assorted good - looking people who have Blackberries for no reason (seriously, I feel Amish with my two - year old cell phone. […]

Alt - Summertime Entertaining

It must be summer — I can’t get through a single day without going to a picnic or a barbeque. Literally. I even eat hot dogs and corn - on - the cob for breakfast.
Not that I’m complaining, but one can only consume so much brie, bread and wine on a checkered blanket in […]

A Flip - Flop That Is Also a Gym…

Now that Kate Moss’s collection for Topshop is a few weeks old, London has a new fixation: the FitFlop. It’s a “biomechanically engineered” flip - flop that promises to “make your bum smaller and your legs leaner.”

Who Wants To Be A… Kidney Receipient???

Marc Jacobs + Vans = Totally Hot Sneaks

I love Vans — I’ve been wearing the Cali skater shoes since I popped out of the womb. I also love MJ, whom I’ve been wearing for slightly less time due to his holier - than - thou price tags.
But now, the two have teamed up to create a totally rad line of shoes for […]

Guide to Suburban Summer Survival

I admit, I’m a product of the suburbs. My hometown is full of big, leafy trees, smiling children and drive - thru Starbucks that close at ten. It’s a great place to raise a family — but not such a hot place to be 21 in.
Going home from college is often more of a culture […]

Don’t Know What To Do With All Your Stuff?

Moving SUCKS. In any capacity, really — from apartment to apartment, dorm room to home room, home room to dorm room, even across a room. Generally, I try to move as little as possible.
So when I was told by my landlord that I needed to be out of my apartment by May 31st because of […]
