Lately I've been really getting into jewelry. Here are a few pieces I saw online. I really prefer eclectic, weird, original jewelry over everday see it all the time jewelry, though I love traditionally elegant pieces (like cameos). A little morbid, a little gritty is always interesting. Made Her Think... Continue reading

Never was the type of girl to buy crappy, boring jewelry that everyone else wears. I love delicate, traditional jewelry (but don't ever buy me any of those weird curvy gold hearts that you see on TV near Valentine's Day). I also don't care if jewelry is cheap, for me... Continue reading

Last night, a friend brought over a DVD of Carnivàle: I had heard about this show sometime last year and meant to watch it, as (a) I love most things HBO, (b) It looked visually appealing, and (c), it was set in the Dustbowl era, of which I had previously... Continue reading

Alright, how to go about this whole business of bursting in onto NYC? Penniless and terrible with economics or anything practical as I am (except making lists), I suppose the first task is to actually reach out to those magazines I want to intern at (for a penny, for subsidized... Continue reading

How can it be that I find a talk by social critic and author James Kunstler about the perils of suburbia to be invigorating, but also am moved by the cold perfection of a Stephen Shore photograph? Kunstler is a proponent of the New Urbanism movement, which promotes walkable neighborhoods... Continue reading

Last year, the mainstream finally agreed that it was all about '50s restraint. (Thank you, Mad Men). Next year, will the wave of flapperdom swing into style? (pun sheepishly intended). Continue reading

Dear City of Angels, The other day, I was listening to KCRW and I heard the lady on the airwaves thank David Lynch for contributing to the public station (run by Santa Monica College). Here, another reason to love David Lynch for supporting public radio that doesn't play the same,... Continue reading

Miranda Priestly: [Miranda and some assistants are deciding between two similar belts for an outfit. Andy sniggers because she thinks they look exactly the same] Something funny? Andy Sachs: No. No, no. Nothing's... You know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me. You know, I'm... Continue reading

After much deliberation, wishy-washiness, and aimlessly puttering around, I have decided to give my all into getting into a great master's program in journalism (or a similar program). I am SO excited about this decision. I want to write for magazines, and I think this will be a great way... Continue reading

The heat is practically overwhelming. I open my eyes, blink, rub them sleepily, turn over, try to go back to sleep. The heat creeps steadily into the little bungalow, persuading me finally to get up. It's not even ten yet, but the day is already bright with untold adventures. S*... Continue reading

...Said the slick, grey-haired tuxedo wearing bartender to my guest of the first event Angeleno asked me to cover. Despite her penchant for a sweet white wine, she could hardly complain. The bartender quickly mixed a vodka based cocktail with all the necessary fruity elements. My +1 and I were... Continue reading

This is a sampling of photos from an editorial shoot of a home in France (Carolyn Quartermaine's to be precise). I have not done a single original thing but repost these photos, because the combination of old world classy elegance mixed with spunky neons and shapes have inspired me so.... Continue reading

Hmmm, Augustus?
