Hermès Dressage Petite Seconde & 100 Years of Watches


“But daddy I want it NOW!” It’ll never happen, I get it, but I WANT THIS WATCH! I haven’t worn a watch since I was 14 (mine broke and I wanted to see how long I could go without one which turned into years and years and I still don’t wear one but am still always on time). Hermès is releasing its first “in-house” watch line Caliber H1837, named for the year the brand itself was launched. This year Hermès is also celebrating 100 years of watchmaking. Above, the Dressage Petite Seconde in 18-karat rose gold which, they only made 175 of so “limited edition” is an understatement. Beyond.

Theodora & Callum


Totally digging these denim leopard print heels I picked out for myself at the Theodora & Callum pop up showroom they did in LA a couple of weeks ago. Perfect for summer (I still feel ridiculous saying that in a town where the temperature hovers at 70 degrees most days but you know what I mean). The line, which also produces scarves, jewelry and bags was launched a year ago in New York by Stefani Greenfield and entertainment producer Desiree Gruber. More raffia fun below… Continue reading

That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor

There is a new book on Wallis Simpson written by Anne Sebba that just came out which I am dying to read. There is a never ending fascination with “That Woman” which I wholly subscribe to much like everyone else. It always felt as though something wasn’t right in the way she was judged so I am happy there has been so much press and a film recently that tries to tell the story from her perspective. I for one am a huge fan of hers… Also love that she was from Baltimore!

Flipping out over this song “Seven Days” from Azure Ray. Holy… Repeat, repeat, repeat. Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor are Azure Ray, they’ve been together creating music for seven years and their new album Drawing Down the Moon was released on Saddle Creek Records last September.

How to Lose Weight & Tone Your A** in 30 Days for $100

This will be a story of both joy and caution. A couple of months ago I got on a scale which, I don’t normally do unless forced to at a doctor’s office (I prefer to go by how my clothes fit and how I feel when I look in the mirror) and realized I had put on a few pounds. It wasn’t really a surprise since over the past year I had somehow decided that well into my 30’s was somehow the best time to start eating pizza late at night and ignoring all those rules I had followed over the years about more lean protein than carbs (wine doesn’t count). Anyway, you get the picture. So I did what any smart woman in LA does: I panicked. I quickly filed thru all of my options and decided to try Bar Method which a girlfriend of mine seemed to have literally shrunk from doing. I usually run with a trainer twice a week but clearly that wasn’t cutting it. I started with the Continue reading
