You are everything wonderful in my life, Mom. You have never stopped being selfless and have given me the world and more. I hope to be at least half the woman you are. Thank you for your never ending love. “I love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my mommy you’ll be” 💕 #mothersday #ilovemymom #mommyslittlerebel #queen #lola

I sat at dinner, enjoying every bit of, the convo, the food, the wine, the food… Good Italian food is hard to find in LA for a girl who has had home cooked Italian, since she was a little one. Terroni is definitely the best spot to fill an Italian urge. For me there is definitely a “homey” feel for it, maybe it’s because I know the owner and she is huge on family. But I think it’s because the food is hands down, amazing. So I was enjoying every bite, every smell, EVERYTHING. (I could blog for hours on how Terroni is amazing, I won’t because I’m not a food critic or a self proclaimed “foodie” [I strongly dislike that word BTW]). The night was going on in a beautiful way, it really was a lovely evening, when at one point I realized the whole room was filled to the brim with hungry customers. It was loud, and just fantastic, completely the city I feel in love with.
i once had a heart. It got ripped out, torn up, then stepped on. There is nothing left inside of me. Make me feel again, make me love.

Driving to work today, I was listening to what was going on in Watertown, MA and just heartbroken. I mean take a step back and look at whats going on in the world we live in.Every month there is another shooting, a crazed person taking anger, frustration, and pain out on innocent lives. Bombings, in a land where we should be able to feel safe.

What I have learned living in this beautiful state is that there is a reason to celebrate every night of the week. My Monday nights have turned into Friday nights for the past four months. Monday rolls around, and I know exactly what spot BFF and I are hitting. It really is like the bar in “Cheers” where everyone knows your name. We walk in and hellos and hugs are exchanged with the “usual’s”. Lots of laughs, stories and beverages. Four months of, on a “good night”, an hour of sleep, on a “bad night” three hours. I’m not going to lie, I’m exhausted and this week is, of course, jammed with drinks, dinners, meetings and hang-outs.
When did getting to be an adult become exhausting? I say this ALWAYS the moment before I go out - I would love to stay home and watch ‘Mad Men’ or ‘Downton Abbey”, but the reality is I’m the one that’s jammed my calendar, filled my dance card, packed my days into nights. I’m exhausted but let’s be truthful for a second, there’s nothing I’d rather be doing then hopping from drinks,to a meeting, to dinner, to a comedy show or two. I’m in the best place to do it too.
Love && City Lights,

I have so much to tell you, but no words to say it. I’d love to tell you the funny situations that have been placed in my life, I’d love for you to make fun of the way I tell the story, and then give me advice. I miss our chats, I truly do.
For reasons beyond me, you were the only person to ever objectively see me, and listen to me. Maybe it is because you didn’t love me. Maybe it’s because we should have just always been friends. As much as I don’t want to say it, I do miss our long talks, even if you had to pry information out of me. Telling you about my adventures of the day, was always my favorite part of the day.
I have so much to tell you. So much.
Love && Long Talks,

I’m not a fashion blogger by any means. Well I love fashion, I take part in trends and anti-trends, read up on the colors of the season, and what styles are making their name on the runway and have been a Vogue subscriber for officially nine years. Fashion has always had that “je ne sais quoi” in my heart. I love it, I hate it, I want to smother myself with it, and then need to stay away from it. Fashion has pushed me to make some giants leaps, moving from Connecticut to California (tiny leap,right?) to ordering loads of rain boots before rain boots were a “thing” and getting made fun of on their behalf. It sounds like my relationship with fashion is more of an addiction, and well baby I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and am a full blown addict.


Riccardo Tisci’s genius for GIVENCHY, killed me! Really all I can say about GIVENCHY is that it is just bad ass fashion that is fun. I really thought it was fantastic and playful. But really I can say there is something about GIVENCHY that always draws me in. I feel like it’s the perfect mix of “boyfriend sweaters” with girly skirts. Everything about it screams, wear me, at least for me.

Love && Fashion Lust,

As a child I had this extremely irrational fear that a t.rex would attack me. It was really silly because I mean a t.rex’s arms are far too short to grab me and if he did try to grab me, his head would get in the way! DUH!
I’m feeling silly. Enjoy your Friday lovers :)
