Things I’m still mourning the loss of:
1. Sex and the City.
Le sigh. No more snarky Miranda quips to steal. No more outfits to copy. No more, “I had to wonder…”s. I want the entire collection that comes in the pink box. WITHOUT the movies.
2. The time when being pale was chic.
This was probably 1890 when it was fashionable to never go outside because you had the help to...
I’m high maintenance. I’m not really proud of it. Traveling isn’t easy for me because I have an entire bag dedicated to all the products I need to look the way I do every day. I wish I was one of those people that could be ready to go somewhere in 20 minutes and only traveled with a small bag. I’m just not. I have a lot of problems that I need things for.
1. Hair
I color...

It’s fashion week season again. Last week was New York, this week it’s London; Milan & Paris soon to follow. This means that I’m spending a lot of time on my iPhone looking at the shows on my Style.com app. I’m also on refinery29.com looking at slideshows of all the outfits that editors & spectators are wearing to the shows.
All this oogling & oggling will...

People that I don’t think are stylish despite people being obsessed with them:
- All the Kardashians except for Kendall & Kylie, the 15 & 14 yr olds
Too much makeup, black spandex, & leather. These broads keep trying to dress in the vein of edgy, heroin chic - play up the curves, embrace the vintage.
- Angelina Jolie
Back away from the neutrals. Every now & again, you hit...
Dear Rachel Zoe,
I love your show - I watch it obsessively. I think your styling is genius. I want to steal Brad from you & make him my bestie. But I’m starting to not like the way you treat your hubby.
Rodger, although he’s a bit caught up in the mannery, is a good guy. He runs your business, he puts up with your shopping, he’s been with you for years. Give the man some sexy time....
My current man crushes (because I’m really bored right now):
1. The Ryans - Gosling & Reynolds. I can’t choose. Please don’t ask me to. Both are funny, dress very well, and are equally gorgeous.
2. Jon Hamm - I think a lot of people are attracted to Don Draper rather than Mr. Hamm himself. I thought Jon was hilarious on 30 Rock and is far more adorable than the Draper b/c...
I’m a little obsessed with fashion weeks. I have the style.com app on my iPhone, and I look at all the shows and read the reviews. Then I proceed to go to elle.com, and refinery29, and fabsugar, etc. I look at them over & over. I pick out my favorite outfits and try to figure out how I can recreate them and what other pieces I would need. And then I go home & look at my closet &...

A few weeks ago, I spent Friday night and home and just watched movies on TV. Two movies came on AMC that night that I will always watch when they’re on: Fear and Outbreak. I have realized that both of these movies scare the crap out of me. And not in that “I can’t sleep afterward” way, but more in a “two weeks later I think about this movie and feel creeped...

I had a mini freak out when I read this. I’m going to acquire all of them, by the way.
Dear Kelly Ripa,
I know that you’re cute and perky and far more successful than I, but you have man arms. Seriously, you have the arms of a GI Joe action figure (notice I didn’t say doll). Does Mark Consuelos really like the fact that you could beat the crap out of him? You’re approaching middle age, Kelly. You need to chill out with bench presses before you tear your rotator cuff. Take it easy,...

It really is the end of an era. Oh well, I can probably get by for a few years on the 20 something JCP catalogues my Granny has stashed in her living room. The ones from the 90s are more interesting anyway.

As a feminist, I don’t really agree with this article. As a girlfriend of five years, I get it. I so get it.
I can’t even begin to iterate how tired I am of people asking stupid questions in class. And I’m using “stupid” in a very broad sense here to include “unrelated, unwarranted, pointless, unimportant, and beneficial to only the asker and no one else.”
It is very - and I mean VERY - obvious that you’re just trying to show everyone how creative you can be...
Dear Urban Outfitters & Anthropologie,
I don’t think your stuff is worth the prices you claim it is. Nevertheless, I still want it.
So, can’t we work something out? Can’t I write you an essay about how hard my life has been and is, and you give me 50% off or something? Because honestly, you’re kidding yourself if you think I’m buying this at full price.
But,...

I went to the Dermatologist’s on my birthday, which was an interesting endeavor. I go once a year to get my moles checked and renew my acne prescriptions. This year I didn’t have any mole issues, which is a rarity. I’ve had so many hacked off because I’m a pale little thing. But I didn’t go to the beach this summer and I haven’t seen the sun in the past few...
I think that more than anything, being an only child has affected me and my personality. And nothing illustrates this more than my relationship with Barbies.
As a child, I had a million Barbie dolls. And I played with them religiously. Generally, there weren’t any other children around, so I was in my own little world with my Barbies, and I was pretty satisfied. I could completely entertain...

Pole dancing will need a makeover for the Olympics.
Since my birthday is this Tuesday, I thought that I would further the practice of making everything about me by discussing some of my identifying characteristics. For example, I’m allergic to everything cute: dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, etc.
Yesterday, Paul was watching the Saints game and bothering me while I was trying to clean. I eventually gave up and just watched it, too. All of a...
Has anybody noticed that Brad Pitt changes his personality according to his current girlfriend? Really, I have evidence.
Way back when he was just starting out, Mr. Pitt dated Juliette Lewis (who by the way was sixteen and he was twenty-six). I realize that if you didn’t know this you may need a minute to absorb it. Anyway, they were both all weird and indie. Brad had the weird beard and...
Dear Voters of America,
I’ve been wondering since the election last year, when did actors become political authorities? Seriously.
For example: Leonardo DiCaprio. And I’m aware that I’m about to piss off a few hundred people. Anyway, I’ll be the first to say that Mr. DiCaprio is a fine actor and really hot. But do I look to him for political advice and as an authority of...
I’m kind of a feminist. Not a huge one, just moderate. If I have to pick between books, I’ll choose the one written by a woman.
That being said, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about people being competitive in law school, especially girls. This is disheartening to me.
Honestly, women have had a pretty hard time through history. Not as bad as the entire jewish race, but bad...
Contracts is by far the most mind boggling class for me. Every rule exists only when it exists; which means that usually it could go about three different ways that don’t make any sense. Sometimes Common Law applies, sometimes the Uniform Commercial Code, and at other times they both do and you’ve got to figure out which one supersedes the other. And there are always about 50...
I just cut my hair off about a month ago. And for the few weeks leading up to the big chop, short hair was my choice topic of convo with everyone because I’m anal.
Anyway, my roommate and I both read this article in Elle written by a woman who despite her boyfriend’s wishes, cut all her hair off. When she came home, she could tell from the way he looked at her that he wasn’t as...

I should’ve been at this party.
When Sephora first opened at the mall here, I went there looking for some makeup that they actually didn’t have. So, I had to take my Sephora baggie into Macy’s while I went searching for the tinted moisturizer I refuse to live without. I go up to the counter, am cordially greeted by the woman behind said counter, and get my makeup. While paying, I made the mistake of setting the...
Today is my four class day. I have Criminal Law, Legal Traditions, Civil Procedure, Lunch, then Torts. This is really as fun as it sounds.
I like all of my professors, but more in the respect that I would like to hang out with them at a party rather than learn from them. I love grumpy old men, and law school is full of grumpy old men who use Harry Potter references and accuse people of loving Fox...

I have mixed feelings about pedicures. I’ve only had one and that was this summer with my mom right after I came back from New York; so my feet were in really sad shape. Anyway, I just have a problem with sitting high up in this huge chair while the poor, lowly shop worker sits on the floor and has to play with my feet. It makes me feel like a slave owner. But then I realize that I’m...
WatchI love Michelle Williams right now.
I got really bored in class and decided to create a blog.
On that note, I had decided that before I came to lawschool, I was going to take the Hermoine Granger approach to class and be obnoxiously omnipresent because I wanted good grades. I abandoned this philosophy the second day of orientation when I met these people and decided that we had enough Hermoine Grangers for one concentrated group....
