Peep Show Series 1 DVD: Take a Peep at This!

Peep Show Series 1 DVD: Take a Peep at This!

It would be no exaggeration to say that Peep Show is one of the funniest TV shows ever made. It’s a different sort of funny—British. It won’t entertain you in the same way that Keeping up with the Kardashians and The City will, but it has kept me laughing through every episode of every season. [...]

World Cup Soccer Bars: Goal!

World Cup Soccer Bars: Goal!

To be honest, I don’t consider myself a sports buff. I occasionally watch tennis or tune in to the Olympics for an event or two. But when it comes to my nightly TV viewing, I’ve got my channels fixed to a different kind of high-stakes competition—reality shows. Every four years however, the World Cup turns [...]

Grom Gelateria: Chillin’ This Summer

Grom Gelateria: Chillin’ This Summer

What’s better for cooling off on a hot summer day than ice cream? Previously, I would say nothing, but then I found Grom, the Italian gelato shop. Nothing hits the spot like their homemade cones (or cups) of creamy deliciousness. I discovered it when I lived around the corner from their Florence, Italy, location. So [...]

Retrosun Vintage Paloma Picasso Sunglasses: Take me higher, Gaga!

Retrosun Vintage Paloma Picasso Sunglasses: Take me higher, Gaga!

Thanks to Lady Gaga, I’m feeling freer to costume myself in more challenging ways. I think this summer I’ll start to go a little psychedelic with the eyewear. Since my rose-colored shades broke somewhere along the move from California to New York, orange is a rad substitute. Though I swear on my life I’m leaving [...]

Twinings Earl Grey Tea: Fancy a ‘Cuppa’?

Whether it’s hot, cold, wet, or dry—you always need a cup of tea in your life. Tea has the magic ability to cure all of your problems (full disclosure—I’m British!). Twinings Earl Grey is simply delicious. If you’ve never tasted tea (I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never tasted coffee), or you’re just looking for a [...]

Flowerbomb is “The Bomb”

Flowerbomb is “The Bomb”

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum This scent is my new obsession. Not only does Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb make me feel feminine and pretty, but also it’s become the frequent topic of conversation—I’ve lost count how many times people have asked me for the name of the perfume I’m wearing. —Katrina Caspelich Buy [...]

Blow-drying for Dummies!

Blow-drying for Dummies!

Infiniti by Conair SD8 Tourmaline Ceramic Styler I can’t live—or travel—without my “blow-dryer for dummies”! Now, I don’t blow-dry my hair on a daily basis, but when I do, I love using the Infiniti by Conair hair dryer. With brushes that attach, no coordination necessary, and you are done in half the time it takes [...]

Take a Hike with Rachel Comey

Take a Hike with Rachel Comey

Rachel Comey Utility Clutch Growing up, I spent every weekend in the mountains, at the beach, or hiking in the woods, trying to figure out how to work a compass and picking the M&Ms out of trail mix. As I developed my love for fashion, my hobbies shifted towards collecting issues of Vogue and heading [...]

From Limp to Lush

From Limp to Lush

Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler There are a few staple tools every beauty addict should have in their kit—an eyelash curler being one of them. But beauty addict that I am, I’ve never bothered. Just a swipe of mascara will do. But when I got my hands on Tarte’s Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler, I quickly [...]
