Out with the old, in with the - whatever.

I’m an odd duck - Halloween and New Year’s are my favorite holidays. I like dressing up and I like staying up late. Resolutions aren’t as fun as counting down to midnight or choosing the perfect outfit, but they are a part of the New Year’s tradition and I want you guys to hold me to some resolutions I’ve made. In 2011, I solemnly affirm that I will accomplish...

The sweet smell of success.

My Christmas haul in a nutshell: I got that Star Wars sound effects book, which is exactly what I wanted. Turns out there are perks to having your parents read your blog. That one Lola perfume by Marc Jacobs. Looks like 2011 is gonna be one nerdy and fragrant year, readers.

Storms in California? The “Big Freeze” in England? It’s enough to make a girl go crazy.
