DryBar in Brentwood may be a place to get your hair blown out, but the place is anything but dry … or boring. It’s the spa treatment on a budget – because before DryBar, the only time you got your hair styled was when you put up with a dramatic hair cut. And on their [...]

So many things about the night were beautiful. There was an empowering purpose in turning the red carpet pink. It was my first pink carpet, certainly – red carpets I generally avoid. Just as well. There was something very meaningful about combining cancer cure advocacy and a [...]
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 [...]
