June Mood

School's out for summer. So that means less LA traffic, more rosé, and sleepless nights because most of us (peasants) don't have central air conditioning.

Can These Questions Lead to Love?

Can These Questions Lead to Love?

5/30/18

A few years ago I read an article in the New York Times about a list of 36 questions that are bound to make any two people fall in love. Or perhaps more in love.

The article piqued my curiosity, so over drinks one night, I asked my husband these questions, and after being together for almost six years, we learned a few things about each other we didn't know.

What Women Want for Valentine's Day

2/14/18

1. Flowers sent to our work so everyone knows just how much you adore us.
2. To be told we are beautiful, heavenly mortals. And that we look really thin.
3. To be gushed over on Instagram with a pre-approved image of our liking.
4. A heart-shaped box full of chocolates. And again, to be told we look thin while we eat them.
5. Applauded for our youthful, fresh-faced glow. Our skin that is like that of a newborn. Then handed a
6. $100 gift card to Sephora.
7. A heart-shaped pizza. Just because.
8. A Hallmark holiday movie marathon even though it's not Christmas.
9. A kitschy item from a Valentine's Day pop-up shop on the street so we know you care.
10. To be remarked as smart, intellectual beings, and again, very thin.

Throwback: Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's Wedding

Throwback: Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's Wedding

10/5/17

Since I am in full on wedding mode, I thought I'd throw it back to one of the most iconic TV weddings of my childhood, and arguably of all time: Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's.

Like all truly good fashion, I'm sure it's only a matter of months – or perhaps weeks  – before this look comes back in style. Speaking of which, can we take a moment to reflect on that veil?

In realness, I can't imagine our current minimalist society ever bringing back such an over-the-top trend, but if and when we do, I'll be ready. I've got my mom's dress that fits the bill.

I'll leave you with this, but do note that I'm certain the reason her veil was so large was so she had something to wipe her tears with during this:
