This fall, fashion houses are receiving inspiration from Scotland. Last weekend, I attended the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show where guests were greeted with an array of tartan looks. Nordstrom is just too clever. My local store places Milly’s most mesmerizing pieces on the path to Habitant, the new gathering spot for drinks and small plates. When a girl is in …
Considering my Scottish heritage, I watched with a vested interest as the bid for independence played out last Thursday. The United Kingdom survived losing Scotland by an unexpected 54%-45% margin after polls predicted the vote too close to call. A record 86% of Scots weighed in, and emotions ran deep on both sides. They still do. The yearning for national …

Last Saturday, when my alarm went off at 7 am, I immediately hit snooze. It was the weekend. But once I realized that it was also the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show, I bolted out of bed. Some people strive to be fashionably late to events, but – trust me ladies – when it comes to a show with the hottest …
I keep receiving requests to interview more single men on my site about their dating preferences. So when my friend called saying she knew a guy who was the definition of fun, a total gentlemen, and the perfect guest for KCC.LA, I was game. And when I say game, I mean it! Chris is an avid basketball fan, so before …
As a girl who has blogging theme days…one being Meeting Men Monday and another Fashion Friday….it’s no surprise that I fell in love with The Kooples. The three French brothers behind this label add a whole lot of cool to their lust-worthy designs, which are flattering with a vintage feel borrowed from fashion and music icons. Early on, Alexandre, Laurent, …
The fair-loving ones are in Puyallup. That is, through September 21st, when they’re in for an assortment of rides, concerts, shows, animals, and one of my favorites—sweet treats. Trust me friends, there are no calories when it comes to fair food:) At least that’s what I kept telling myself when the cotton-candy maker handed over his “smallest” size which was …
Solar flares creating a rare display of Aurora Borealis flooding the midnight sky…at least that’s what my friend and I expected to find when we trekked to Snoqualmie Pass Friday night. The Seattle media had been hyping the moment with fawn-worthy pictures like the one below. I would like to tell you that we were entranced by a show of …
I became attached to Bobbi Brown cosmetics before I had my first boyfriend, went to my first prom, or even entered high school. You could say Bobbi has accompanied me on many firsts:) And today I’m still turning to her trusty products. I saw an ad with the below Bobbi Babe back when I was about 14. So I made a …
Recently, I went salsa dancing for the third time and it was mega fun. For those of you who’ve never been to a salsa club, it’s much different than a regular club. Everything is partner-based, and people constantly switch partners as guys ask girls to dance. Bold women do blaze the trail and ask men, but it’s more common the …
I wish I could say that I was there… I can’t, but I did have a front row seat at my computer while perusing pics posted from those events:) Since the weather is still warm where I am, I’m more than happy to spot spring fashions. So here are some 2015 trends I’ve tracked. White Out. Fashionistas will be sporting …
Whenever I attend an event with dancing on the invitation, one of my Derhy dresses is always is serious consideration as an escort. When I think of this French line, femininity and boldness come to mind. Derhy melds flirty styles with strong colors for a look that stands out in any room. Intricate detailing is another Derhy trademark. I bought …
When I read about these adorable cohorts in The Wall Street Journal, I just had to post about them. They prove that natural enemies can become the best of friends. These three were rescued from an Atlanta basement years ago and now reside at Noah’s Ark, an animal sanctuary in Locust Grove, Georgia. No one thought that ferocious carnivores, like …
Some people think that only mega stars with their armies of stylists can be mega beautiful. But I say, not so! Anyone with a positive outlook and a healthy lifestyle is radiant. To show how it’s done, I’ve decided to create a Science of Beauty video series, starting with the Beauty of Foods. With the help of my friend Annie, …
…for a successful, loving relationship. Sure there are unions built on one-way love, but at some point the person putting in the effort wakes up to reality and feels lovelorn. Dr. Sue Johnson, a psychologist and couples therapist, uses biology, neuroscience, and clinical psychology to present a strong case for this hypothesis in her book, Love Sense: the Revolutionary New …
