Freckle face
The other day I came across the funniest beauty how to: an article detailing how to draw on fake freckles! I must be way out of the loop because the more I researched, the more I found that this has been a major trend over the past year. Some evidence: Fake freckles are officially trending (Refinery29)…

This week I am…

More on what makes his generation the greatest. …reading about the White House correspondents’ dinner. I met this funny guy when I attended. …still dreaming of tacos. Apparently it is the official state food of California? …hanging onto my beloved watch, especially after…

Why you should stop washing your jeans
I’m not going to ask you to hug a tree in honor of Earth Day (today!), but I hope you’ll read this story I wrote for Thrive Wire which brings together issues close to my heart: water conservation, climate change and a good pair of jeans. When Levi’s CEO Chip Bergh last year announced he…

I want to go to there…
…Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Called the “Venice of the North” this canal-built city has always seemed utterly idyllic to me… …maybe it’s all the windmills? …or that tulips is one of their main industries? Doesn’t it seem like a fairy land? But after reading a bit on The Netherlands, I’ve come to realize that this city’s…

Florence: Art and Aperitivo
This is a follow-up on yesterday’s post “Three Days in Florence.” Having never been to Florence, visiting the Uffizi Gallery was at the top of my list for its amazing art collection. But like everything in Florence, I found much much more. I would have bought a ticket to walk through the building alone–even without its hundreds…

Three days in Florence
Florence is a study in both the old and the new. I believe most travelers make their way to Florence for the old–to walk among the Renaissance era buildings, to view the ancient art, to taste the pasta recipe that has been handed down through generations–but when they arrive, they find the new. Florence is…

I want to go to there…
…Florence, Italy. (and I’m flying there right now!) History, art, architecture, wine, gelato…what’s not to love? Well, I’m going to investigate. We’re staying in an apartment (with a rooftop patio!) in the Santa Croce neighborhood, not far from the famed Ponte Vecchio bridge. I watched A Room with a View in preparation, but otherwise I haven’t planned too…

Could you wear the same thing every day?
When I was in the fifth grade, my public elementary school switched over to uniforms to bridge the gap between the different socioeconomic groups students came from. As a self-absorbed 11-year-old who had just begun experimenting with what the Limited Too had to offer, I was not crazy about this idea. But by the time…

This week I am…
…dreaming of road tripping in my home state, thanks to my favorite California-based magazine. …fascinated by the Lauren Bacall auction (gifts from Bogart, Audubon engraving, antlers…). …scrolling through these gorgeous vintage maps–which one would you put in your home? …watching videos of the “youngest string quartet ever.” …checking how I measured up on this list of…
