Six essentials for running

August 11, 2014

I’ve been trying to get back on the workout wagon for a while – I’m really bad about being a yo-yo exerciser – but I’ve been relatively successful lately. At least, successful enough to not feel like a total hypocrite posting about workout gear. Running has been my workout of choice for years now, so I’m doing the Couch to 5K program to build my mileage base and hopefully be ready to run a half-marathon next April or May. See? Now I’ve made ...

California Headphone Company Silverado: the headphones for petite noggins

June 16, 2014

This post is a little bit of a departure from the normal beauty-related content around here, but I feel like it really needs to be put out there. If you follow me on instagram, you might have noticed that music is another thing I love – live shows specifically, but I have to go to work sometimes. Our office recently moved to a smaller and much noisier location, so I went on the hunt for a pair of headphones so I could replace conversation and ringing phones with something that I ...

Fashion Friday: Cate & Chloe VIP

April 11, 2014

I’ve finally got most of my wardrobe sorted out after my epic clothes haul a couple weeks ago. The jeans are still at the tailor’s so they can be converted to ‘fun size’ (as one of my friends so eloquently put it), and I’m antsy to get them back and actually wear them. In the meantime I can already tell the LOFT skirt and black Caslon tank are going to become a staple duo – it’s the next best thing to wearing pajamas to work. And yes, I do intend to ...

Review: Rebecca Minkoff bags

January 22, 2014

I know this is a slight departure from my usual beauty product reviews, but I’m also a fan of purses and shoes too. I have an opinion about the two Rebecca Minkoff bags I purchased a year(ish) ago, so hey, might as well review them, right? I believe both have been discontinued since I bought them, but you can still find them occasionally on ebay or through off-price retailers. It may also give you an idea of some of the characteristics of current bags too. First up: Wallet on a Chain ...

My Winter Uniform

November 25, 2013

A couple weeks ago I talked about a few things that I’d love to have in my winter wardrobe, but that’s just a little different than what I actually wear on a daily basis in the colder months. I work in an office, but the dress is pretty much college-student casual. I could probably get away with yoga pants if I wanted, but I refuse. Still, comfort rules the day so I’ve ended up with a sort of ‘uniform’ – very handy because I can put it together quickly ...
