This past weekend, one of my best friends came to visit from Philly. She’s a born and raised Florida girl, though, so I wanted to show her a cliché New England weekend! She’d visited me once before, but it rained almost the entire time – just our luck! This time, though, the weather was absolutely perfect. On […]
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a sucker for novels about excess – money, power, caloric intake, you name it. Throw in prep school kids, twenty-something debauchery, and a European destination, and I’m sold. Stan Parish’s novel Down the Shore first came to my attention through a blurb in Cosmopolitan. Definitely a sign of quality literature, I know. I’ve […]
As with many of my peers, an embarrassingly large chunk of my adolescent life was spent watching, discussing, and idolizing the teens on MTV’s Laguna Beach. I was so obsessed that I somehow suckered my parents into driving me to Laguna Beach while we were visiting my brother, Matt, at school in L.A. I traipsed around the […]
I constantly dream of packing up and moving to Europe. (Maybe not the packing part, actually, considering one of my biggest anxieties about said dream is how I would transport all of my clothes.)

Unfortunately, I’m pretty much as anxiety-ridden as it gets. I’ve been told for years that I should try yoga, but the thought of […]
As much as our parents try to convince us that the music from their generation trumps ours, I will defend the 1990’s ’til the end. Although I was negative-one-year-old when the decade began, I consider myself a true ’90s kid. We had the best bands, the best TV shows, and some of the best trends. […]
I’m always looking for the best binge-worthy shows to add to my list on Netflix. What better way to use my time than by melting my brain with four consecutive hours of screen time? I mean, those late night hours would just be spent sleeping, anyway. Who needs that? That brings me to a few weeks […]
Once a year, the red carpet is rolled out for the people normally responsible for dressing it. I’m talking about the CFDA Awards – the awards ceremony put on by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The best of the best fashion designers are recognized while editors, models and celebs strut their trendy stuff in […]
