There will be Super Bowl cookie photos and meat galore later. First, some nail polish. If you couldn’t tell from the giant ballet flat at the top of the page, pink is my favorite color. But I also love purple — especially purple eye makeup and nail polish. So you can imagine my excitement when […]
As you may recall, I started taking an adult ballet class in the fall. Now we’ve just started the new semester. But it seems I’m not the only one hitting the barre. Apparently undeterred by the ripping of flesh and cracking of toenails in Black Swan, fashionistas are signing up for online workouts with the […]
I’ve had the same swim cap since 1999. I got it at a random store in Belgium after I determined (through a series of gestures) that I needed to wear one to swim at the pool down the street from our house. My dad did buy me a bright orange “Who’s your Tiger?” cap a […]
One of my resolutions is to blog more about swimming and shopping-related topics. Now, there are tons of fashion bloggers out there, and I am not usually invited to NYC Fashion Week (sadly) so I don’t have a lot of inside info. But I do see a lot of cute stuff and I want to […]
Happy 2011! Sorry I haven’t posted since Christmas – I have been at my parents’ house in Michigan doing a lot of eating, a lot of shopping and even a little swimming. One of my new year’s resolutions is to lose 25 pounds so I have been getting a jump-start on exercise this week. My […]
This is not about eating or swimming, but it is marginally about shopping: A few weeks ago, I signed up for ballet at Maryland Hall. Those who knew me in elementary school will not be surprised at all by this fact. I started taking ballet when I was about 2 years old and continued until […]
As I’ve mentioned before, summer is my favorite season. So fall is kind of a bummer, since it’s the end of summer. This may have something to do with the fact that fall doesn’t really exist in Phoenix, but I think it is mainly because I love the beach and don’t like the cold. However, […]
I made some lemon bars this weekend, but they didn’t turn out quite right. I will post photos and a recipe for some yummy pasta salad tomorrow, though. In the meantime: It turns out my eye shadow is stuck in the 90’s but my bun was way ahead of its time. At least according to […]
There is this awesome thing in NYC called Fashion’s Night Out. It features all sorts of parties and entertainment and giveaways and supermodels. It is so fabulous that even Serena and Blair will be there. But not all of us live in NYC. And we only wish we could dress like Serena and Blair (and even Little J., […]
I may have a slight Vogue problem. Only slight, though. I mean, owning 13 years worth of magazines is totally normal, right? Anyway. The September issue is the most important (and the heaviest) issue of the year. It is epic. There is even a fabulous documentary about it. But oddly, Halle Berry is the non-white […]
