Style & Beauty

Confession: I’ve been taking a lot of “selfies” lately. Almost 98% of these selfies are just for me… a chance to see what I look like in my outfit... in my camera. (Cray cray, I know). The other 2% of my photos are texted to my fashion crush and style guru Robin Saperstein. Upon receiving my texts, Robin kindly indulges me with a “Yay,” “NO,” or “It’s not my favorite,” (which is code for, “you need my help.”)  Well, in an effort to feel so good, Eden and I decided we’d shop her closet to find the cutest outfits for our Moms’ Night for the Project Runway finale where we’re ...Read More
I’m in full party planning mode these days. Not just with the wedding, (oh, the wedding!) but with other fun stuff like the So Good Moms’ Night I recently hosted with my girl Eden Passante of Sugar and Charm. We decided it would be so fun to get the girls together for a night of food and fashion to celebrate the season finale of Project Runway on Lifetime.  Channeling her own inner fashionista, the very talented Eden put together a little “Make it Work” station replete with the awesome new line of Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt, served in glass canning jars. The toppings we served were healthy and added to ...Read More
I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. #ThisisStyle #cbias Don’t get me wrong, I love summer and I looooove the summer wardrobe options. But Fall…? Fall is … fall is romantic. Fall is fashion. Fall is an excuse to shop. (I made that one up). But honestly, every year, I flip through the “Must Have Fall Fashion” spreads in the magazines and flag virtually every page. “I muuust have that. I neeeed that. I can’t live withouuuuut that.” I usually allow myself one or ...Read More
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. #ThisisStyle  for #backtoschool #cbias Gulp. My son is going to be a kindergartener. A full-fledged kindergartener! This year, shopping for back to school apparel and items is more poignant and important than ever. Though my son spent last year in Transitional Kindergarten (thank goodness for “red shirting”), this year really counts as “The Year.” It’s go time, for reals, and there’s no turning back. (Sigh). But, lucky for me, I’ve teamed up with Collective Bias and SearsStyleto find the ...Read More
Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images for The Honest Company A few weeks ago, I had the chance to sit down and have a full-on girl chat with the lovely actress Jessica Alba at her book launch party for The Honest Life, hosted by TheMOMS (my fave NY girls). In her book, Jessica shares personal and relatable stories, covering topics essential to motherhood: Food (how to eat seasonally and healthfully without feeling like everything needs to be home/organically grown), Cleaning (how to clean and decorate your home with healthy, non-toxic products), Beauty tips (Um, she’s gorgeous… so I’m pretty sure she has this category down pat) and Style… In my opinion, Jessica Alba ...Read More
Though I’m still painfully full from last night’s gi-normous feasts (in my case, we had two. Yes. TWO FULL Thanksgiving meals), it’s hard not to want to shop… While I’m not much of a run to the store, endure the Black Friday madness, kind of a gal, I know this year, a lot of purchases will be made online.  I’m in the process of figuring out what I want to get everyone and since I’m working closely with eBay, I’m thinking visiting their Holiday Gift Guide at eBay.com/holiday, is a great place to start. Plus,  along with offering crazy awesome deals eBay would like to help you keep track of your ...Read More
Every woman has them. One amazingly perfect pair of boots. The kind of boots that zip right up… The kind of boots that fit your leg just right…. The kind of boots that go with everything and everyone… You can wear them up, you can wear them down… Comfortable, chic, they are your “go tos” from Fall to Spring. (Or in Los Angeles, whenever the eff the gods of weather decide to drop below 70).  I had these boots. Er… I still have them. But they are gone, really. Something happened between last May and now and I don’t even know who they are anymore. And frankly, without them, I’m a ...Read More
All in favor of extra cash, say “Aye!” (AYE!)  Since becoming a member of the eBay Parent Panel, I’ve started to consider how much extra cash I’m sitting on and doing nothing about. What I’ve learned in the past 9 months is that almost anything can be sold on eBay– like ANYTHING. However, with the exception of a few items, when it comes to clothing and fashion, for me the question has always been: SHOULD I sell it? Should I sell my favorite Parker animal print dress that I bought for $253, buuuuuuut my boyfriend thinks I look like a pirate in….?  Should I sell my Manolo Blahniks that I ...Read More
