Awkward. It’s Back. Thank God.

Awkward is a funny Downton Abbey for the high school set. And by that, I mean it’s the most well written comedy on television right now along with 30 Rock and Parks & Rec. It has that perfect nuance of relationship dramas, obsessive self analysis and insight with a gorgeous (yet awkward) cast that makes for the perfect high school comedy. Created and executive produced by (and written by!) California based and bred Lauren Iungerich, the show is beyond genius and totally underrated. I am obsessed and THRILLED that season 2 begins tonight on MTV. Seriously, Awkward is the only show worth watching on MTV right now and don’t judge it by those parameters either because there isn’t much to watch there so they are lucky to have this creative brilliance gracing their Jersified shores. I dare you to watch and not become obsessed.

Erin Wasson, Low Luv


Let’s be honest, models get a bum rap. They’re born with gorgeous genes, get all the hot musicians, always seem to have karma on their side and everyone assumes they have no skills other than having good skin and a size 0 booty. Well, those of us who know some of these other worldly creatures also know that being a model is actually hard work (I won’t take the time to explain this if you don’t already understand, just trust me, it is) and models are people too. Sometimes with rad skills to boot i.e. Erin Wasson who has a great eye for design. I am totally obsessed with her jewelry line which I fell in love with while working as West Coast fashion editor for WWD in 2008. Low Luv sells at various department stores, specialty boutiques, select online stores including Shopbop, Opening Ceremony and Nordstrom, as well as Glamhouse. A gorgeous chain mail bag necklace from her summer 2012 collection as well as a shot from a vintage shoot below… Continue reading

Newsroom on HBO

I went to the premier of HBO’s Newsroom on Wednesday night and LOVED every minute of it. Love Will McAvoy’s (Jeff Daniels) opening monologue (see above) and so happy to see Emily Mortimor. It’s filled with the usual great writing and dialogue you expect from Aaron Sorkin. I am so obsessed with the recent crop of shows that make you listen, think and follow in order to keep up rather than spewing blood, fangs and story lines as simple and ridiculous as the dark horses they rode in on. For years I enjoyed all those other shows that have the drug dealers and meth cheerleaders as normal people just getting by, serial killers and mobsters “just like us”, but I am so over it! Instead I am obsessed with Downton Abbey and now, Newsroom. Episode one premiers tonight on HBO.

Emma Stone in Vogue

I am head over heels with watching Ms. Emma Stone, who is surely the next Julia Roberts more so than any other young actress out there. Love her! Still obsessed with Easy A. And in LOVE with this Versus dress she is wearing in the new July issue of American Vogue. Gorgeous all around.

Helen Levitt

I stumbled on this old Helen Levitt photo the other day, which I used to have pinned to my wall in NY and in several old journals for years. I have never been able to look away from it. It’s the Christina’s world of photography for me. So quietly beautiful and raw. Just felt like sharing it…
