Today, for Meeting Men Monday, I asked my friend Chandler some of the dating questions that I’ve received from you girls. Get ready, because he was 100% candid. That’s why I love him. This guy will never give you a sugarcoated answer. Chandler plays baseball for Saint Martin’s University and I can testify that he’s a campus hottie. Girlfriends of …
Well, Lauren Bacall seems to have us all under her spell. Though she passed away on Tuesday, her shining presence on the silver screen during Hollywood’s golden age and on Broadway afterward will never pass from view. During her life, many thought of Lauren as the essence of beauty and confidence, but she had fears like everyone else. Instead of …
When a girl gets a tip from these dazzlers – who, by the way, danced for the winning Super Bowl team – she has to follow it! Three of them told me that their favorite tennies for getting their moves on are by Nike Free 3.0 Studio Dance. They’re fashion-forward and have circles on the soles that make them easy …
Here’s a fun dance that anyone can learn to this hit song. It’s choreographed by the Northwest fitness stars, Cory (right) and Melain (center). https://instagram.com/p/rpdN0eifP9/ https://instagram.com/p/rprLitifG_/ These two hotties created Rizzmic, an emerging dance-fitness program. In their classes, you work out by doing popular dances throughout the ages that are perfect for the hits that made them great. In the Northwest, …
Today’s beauty breakdown is all about nails, plus high-quality colors that shout “Summer,” and are known for covering with just one coat! I figure that summer only comes around once a year, so now is the time to bring out the bright colors with gusto. Whether you’re an emerging artist, a college girl, or a businesswoman, FingerPaints Up and Coming …
Here I am wearing this brand again. That’s twice in one week! Eliza J has been one of my best party companions this summer:) I love this dress with its wide waistband awash in tucks that lead to welded seams cascading down a flared skirt. What other designer features such high-quality materials and couture details without taking an ax to …
For Travel Thursday, I’m telling you all about Ballard Pizza Company, the sought-after indulgence stop in this chill, artsy section of Seattle. In my mind, loving pizza is practically a requirement for being human. This landmark is ultra-popular and everyone is friendly. So even if you have to wait to be seated, you’re likely to make insta-acquaintances. I stopped by …
That would describe the Sorrento Hotel, where history, glam and gossip converge. This Seattle hub has been active since 1909. It still features afternoon tea in its historic lobby, followed by live performances in the evenings, and relaxing by the fire at night. Whether you’re staying in one of the guestrooms – all of which are one-of-a-kind – or stopping …
Milly’s latest line is a masterful indulgence in black and white. Here’s my latest find. I paired my Milly with a Natasha Couture quilted box clutch. This isn’t only a fashion accessory—the edges are thick and strong, meaning that it could double as a lethal weapon. Okay, I’m kidding! But if you run into a robber, your Natasha might come …
This week my blog will be a flash of fall fashions. But don’t worry—I’m not trying to snatch away your summer. I love it just as much as everyone else! So the looks I’ll be showing are also appropriate for August and early September. Today’s dress is straight from Eliza J. I thought this creation was perfect to feature on …
A girl can’t don this fierce EXPRESS top and flirty skirt – and then lace up a pair of comfy Nikes – without getting her dance on! https://instagram.com/p/rKuCwQCfPV/ These days, untamable animals aren’t only found in the wild…they’re taking over fashion. A hot look right now is edgy femininity, and EXPRESS has nailed the vibe. Faux leather skirts turn on …
To me, an ideal summer day consists of relaxing with friends…swimming, hitting up a festival, and spending the evening dancing around a bonfire. Since today is Travel Thursday, I’m sharing some slices of fantastic festivals. One of my favorite aspects of these events is the food. A friend recently asked what my guilty pleasure is when it comes to dessert. …
There is something so clandestine about taking the ferry to Bainbridge, an oasis of waterfront, boats, and plants. It’s as though I’m entering a bygone era. Even the plants blooming on the island look like heirlooms planted in gardens passed down through generations. I love butterfly bushes. When people see this vegetation in bloom, some recognize oriental wonders while others …
A friendly place where you grab a drink and mingle with friends is no longer the only kind of bar that’s popular. Braid Bars are trending. I encountered one while passing through Nordstrom. A DJ was remixing the top 40, hairdressers had set up shop next to him, and style mavens were lined up eager to get the hottest braids. …
I could write an epistle about why I’m a fan of this company, but I’ll boil it down to four words…chic, sophisticated and high quality. When a girl steps inside a Wolford store, she’s a goner. There is no longer such a thing as shopping self-control:) And she knows she’ll be coming back again! Here’s an Instagram video of me …
