Soffer Ari reached a milestone by opening his own flagship store in the beginning of the month. It’s well-deserved; he’s been in the business for 13 years. I could really tell that everything in Soffer Ari’s store is not only handmade but made with the utmost care and the finest detail, the last finish. Rock [...]

The Fuze-d drinks (Fuze fruit flavors with vodka) and beer flowed freely as cameras were present to record the launching of a new TOMS shoeline influenced by Element Skateboards.
For every pair of TOMS Shoes and Element Skateboard you buy, TOMS and Element will gift a pair of shoes and skateboard to a child in need. [...]

TOMS Shoes invited several Los Angeles area bloggers to a private night in their new space, a pop-up store on Abbott Kinney in Venice. I thought their entire space was adorable – of course, on top of informative. The girls in the store even gave it a bit of a family vibe and all were [...]

Not only do I have a big head, I have big feet too. And exactly one year after buying my non-Uggs-brown boots, I have a boot purchase experience where that fact became all the more obvious.
It’s not like I need a reminder. My 5′10″ blonde best girlfriend named Christina and I can swap shoes. I’m [...]

The thing about Los Angeles is, it can be 80 degrees in the day but at night, you’ll still be wishing you had a sweater, jacket or wrap. The reason for this I’ve always thought was, since we’re essentially in the dessert, there exists so little moisture that the heat from the day doesn’t stay [...]
I get it. Lindsay Lohan is the leggings queen. Whether it’s under a t-shirt, a skirt or a dress that might as well be a t-shirt, she’s got them on. So you win, LiLo. The Miss Leggings USA title is yours. But you know, I have to question your business acumen because I really don’t [...]
A conversation that has occurred quite often, lately:
“Hey, your hair is so long!”
or,
“Hey, your hair looks good!”
And I answer this with a scrunched nose and either, “I know!” or, “Thanks!” respectively. The scrunched nose, which happens no matter what, comes about from this reflexive thing that goes on inside my head – which feels undeserving of receiving compliments [...]

You know what’s been killing me lately? The whole gladiator sandal trend. It has the potential to be cute, true. And every designer has their own version. (Yes, I guess that is what they would define a “trend.”)
But they also have the potential to be extremely ugly. Some don’t even look half-feminine. Now don’t get [...]

Do you know what I never got about Uggs?
Not that I saw more people wearing them in Los Angeles more than in Milwaukee or Mammoth. (You could probably halve the average temperature in Los Angeles over the year and get the average yearly temperature in Milwaukee.) After all, people spend more money on clothes shoes winter boots in [...]

Only in some circumstances is there a time and a place. The sporting of sunglasses is not one of them.
You’ve undoubtedly seen young gentlemen and young women wear sunglasses all hours of the day as if they never go out of style. I won’t lie–it’s rampant around here.
And sometimes it looks kind of ridiculous. [...]
