2017 has been an exciting year of travel for me. I’ve been to Tulum, Mexico City, Todos Santos, Barcelona, and June marked my first ever trip to Italy. While never unpacking your suitcase offers it’s own off-the-rails kind of fun, it tends to go hand-in-hand with never buying groceries, overspending, and forgetting that the concept […]
If there’s anything more embarrassing than wearing a midriff-bearing cashmere tube top and sweater combo, it’s having paid way, way, way too much for it as well. I should know, because I did it circa 1999. I was in the first years of shopping for myself without parental approval, and let’s just say Bebe was the scene of many […]
Editor’s Note: This week I’m passing the career advice torch to Career Contessa’s Editorial Director, Kit Warchol. Kit’s an LA girl and knows a thing or two about managing friends, careers, and finances, so she was a natural choice to tell this story when we came up with the concept. Enjoy her fantastic advice! When […]
When Sharon met Paul Mrozinski in 1977, neither one of them knew that their lives would be changed forever. A small disaster involving a collapsed driveway initially brought them together, but it’s their uncanny ability to work creatively side-by-side that has made them inseparable ever since. Sharon (a designer and antique dealer) and Paul (an architect) […]
You may remember Anna Crelia and Rhoda Brimberry from a couple years back when we interviewed them for our Besties series. Since then, these sisters-in-law turned business partners have been growing Loot Vintage Rentals to become Texas’ largest vintage rental and event styling company. We’ve been lusting after their chic, refurbished finds for years and now […]
Happy weekend from Malibu! I’m here with the fam and some good friends in a beautiful house on the beach, soaking up plenty of sunshine, amazing seafood, and our last tastes of summer freedom. Follow along on our adventures right here, and keep scrolling for my favorite links from around the web this week! xo […]
We didn’t say it would be easy.
For me, a life without (good) pizza is not worth living, and that’s especially true in the summertime when we typically devote at least one night of the weekend to grilling pizzas out by the pool, preferably with a glass of rosé in hand and a few friends over to join in the cooking fun. Today’s […]
It’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to the supplements aisle. We all have friends who swear by one thing or another, but (if you’re like me) you don’t want to throw money at vitamins that won’t actually provide benefits, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the seemingly endless options. However, I […]
Morning, friends! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. Yesterday we took a long walk downtown, picked up smoothies with the kids, went to the planetarium, then Adam and I snuck away for dinner just the two of us, popping into a couple new-to-us bars then walking over to Kuneho for a sushi […]
Editor’s note: A few weeks ago, while walking my dog, I found myself in a confrontational situation that kicked my fight-or-flight response into high gear. The moment I perceived the threat, my sympathetic nervous system began firing off, filling my body with adrenaline, stress, and aggression like I’d never experienced before. I came out of the situation […]
Beth Herget and Charlotte Cauwe both have creative industry dream jobs: Beth’s a buyer for Madewell and Charlotte’s an off-the-charts cool jewelry designer. So the fact that these two gorgeous and successful creatives are also totally in love seems almost unfair. Together they’ve built a beautiful life in Brooklyn (along with one very cute cat). To say that […]
