So, I went down to the islands recently for less than 48 hours. I know this sounds crazy, but what’s really considered normal these days anyway? So while in St. Martin (or if you’re on the Dutch side, St. “Maartin,”) I had some time to myself and heard the resort had a beautiful spa. Today I wanted to write, not about the gorgeous spa or how amazing my massage was, but about the masseuse that gave it to me. Her…
Looking Good on Facebook (by Guest Blogger Chris Fitzgerald)
So I was going through my pics and came across yet another photo where I just happened to look like a linebacker in a dress. Sigh. We’ve all read or heard about those “look better in photos” tips, such as put your hands on your hips, smile with the tongue touching the roof of your mouth, or say “money.” These tricks may work for the pre-Facebook era, but not now. So I called in an expert–freelance fashion and portrait photographer,…
Be a Toned Traveler
So I was creating my travel calendar for the next four months out and I think I’m home two weekends! I’m not complaining though–traveling is up there on my list of favorite things… right next to online shopping and wine (which don’t mix, by the way). A couple of these upcoming trips require international travel, with connections and being on the plane for 10 hour stints. This is no issue, but you have to plan. Travel is broadening, but it…
But It’s the Weekend!
So, it’s officially the weekend and as I’m writing this I’m shoving an apple cinnamon rice cake in my mouth. Problem is, it’s my fourth and there are “ecstasy amounts” of carbs in each one. Um… and I’ve already had two bowls of cereal. BUT IT’S THE WEEKEND! “BUT IT’S THE WEEKEND” is the lamest and most used excuse for today’s women! I say this because I use it almost every weekend–so I’m just taking a stab in the dark…
Street Style — SXSW
I recently had an amazing, quick trip to Austin for the South By Southwest (SXSW) music festival. Thousands of music lovers gathering to listen to hundreds of established and up-and-coming artists. I rendezvoused as a guest blogger for ful (www.ful.com) since my “other career” is with ful. Below is a fun little minute on the street trends at SXSW. Enjoy! So the “Hipster Runoff” worshipers and music makers were in full swing at SXSW this year. As the Creative Director…
What Goes Into Making a Handbag? (A Q&A With Designer)
Q&A with handbag designer, Katie KalsiIf there is one thing I appreciate, it’s a beautiful handbag. There are shoe girls and there are bag girls and I AM A BAG GIRL. Soft leather, golden hardware… bring them on please. I am of the strong belief that you can really tell a lot about a person by the bag they carry (and I’m not just talking about registered, statement handbags). But do you ever wonder what goes into designing those works…
