Summer Staple: Bumble and bumble Surf Spray

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

I know bringing my own salt-air styler to the beach is like selling land to a gypsy, but I like to gild that lily—and who's to say the real thing will do as great a job defining my beachy waves? Read on...

Summer Memories In An Instant: The Slatkin & Co. Boardwalk Candle Collection

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

The Slatkin & Co. Boardwalk Collection candles
retail for $19.50 each at bathandbodyworks.com.
Growing up, my summers included lots of Jersey shore time. My grandparents lived for all year long in Wildwood, New Jersey and I also spent many a season at my good friend Jackie's shore house in Margate near Atlantic City (with which I have a strange obsession) or at my friend Brenden's Ocean City abode. Bopping up and down the boardwalk in search of summery jewelry and ice cream was EVERYTHING. So because of the soft spot I have for all things boardwalk, Slatkin & Co's new Boardwalk Candle Collection speaks to me on a cellular LEVEL.  I've been keeping the Summer Boardwalk one alight while I work in my apartment while I pretend I'm carefree and a teen on the boardwalk once again. Read on for details on the Twitter party I'm hosting tomorrow and how you can win a SLEW of Bath and Body Works prizes.

Primping Poll: Do You Go To Secret Salons?

Monica is SO GOOD at lightning rounds!

Remember on "Friends" when Monica and Rachel bet they know Joey and Chandler better than they know them; Ross writes the questions (game show-style) and eventually the stakes are raised: If the girls win, the chick and the duck have to go. If the guys win, they get the girls' apartment. 

Mint Condition: Loeffler Randall X J.Crew Lucie Wedge

Saturday, May 26, 2012


Collaborations are everywhere lately, but this one seems like it was custom-blended for me, in the parlance of Prescriptives. Loeffler Randall partnered with J.Crew on this GORGEOUSLY wearable 4.7" cork Lucie wedge in a sick mint green that's everywhere this season. Lest mint not be your thing, however, it also comes in a pink and a navy.

The muted tone of the mint recalls the subtle
hues of the Enchantm(i)nt Under The Sea dance. Obv.


The Loeffler Randall X J.Crew Lucie Wedge retails for $375 at jcrew.com.
