Hello! I’ve missed you! I got caught up in trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up….such a waste of time really, because thinking somehow always leads to paralysis (for me), which leads to an inevitable downward dip in emotional spirits. It’s time to stop thinking and start doing; that can be as simple an act as just getting out of the house...
Read MoreIs there a better time-wasting tool than the internet? No, no there is not. Take this house (above) for example, it's for sale, it's dreamy and I stared at it for 45 minutes. In that time I moved in, rearranged the furniture and decided that the one thing I'd keep is that amazing pop of color on the wall (I think it's Gary Baseman whom I really enjoy on Instagram).
Read MoreReally January? I’m supposed to clean and organize my house, start exercising, get a hobby, lose five pounds, AND get my taxes in order in the name of new year resolutions?

BF: It looks just like those shoes you showed me a picture of yesterday.

Read MoreI’m a Swede who lives in the Silver Lake part of Los Angeles. I like my design functional with oodles of color, never met a pompom I didn’t like, could quite happily road-test lipgloss for the rest of my life and am on the constant search for the perfect T-shirt. I was a magazine editor for 15 years, wrote a bunch of books that gave teen girls more beauty tips than they’ll ever need and owned a design store…not all at the same time.
Current obsessions: Chola-girl eyeliner, Clare V. french T-shirts, leaving chia seeds in plain yogurt overnight so it turns into pudding and the CVT soft serve ice cream truck. This will change, I can be fickle.
