Daily Deals

Among all the daily deal sites out there, one of my favorites is Bloomspot. The SF-based startup tends to offer deals on higher quality services and a lot of travel deals. Check out this current deal for a Newport Beach hotel:

Eccentricly Spicy.

What do you wear when you're feeling eccentricly spicy, ladies? I'm talking about feeling that urge to just say eff it, mixed with inspiration, with a dose of 'Aha!'. My person go-to pieces are the red lipstick from sephora, my fun pink feathered hair piece (a similar one pictured), and layering vintage necklaces that my grandma left me. Whenever I wear one of the following, or heck, even all at one time, I immediately feel fantabulously confident in the way only crazy people do.

In Love with Chloe

Let's all take a moment to admire one gorgeous shoe.

Yup, I think I'm in love.

At $895 a pair, these are certainly on the "high" end of the hLo, but if you're interested anyway, you can pre-order from Barneys.

My Top 3 Drug Store Beauty Products

You know that old saying, "You get what you pay for"? Well, sometimes that's just not true! Here are my top 3 drug store beauty products:

1. Cerave - This is a light moisturizer that was actually recommended to me by my Dermatologist. I love it because it really does its job, but doesn't leave you with that greasy feeling. Even the PM formula is surprisingly light yet moisturizes effectively.

2. Vaseline - That's right, good ol' Petroleum Jelly. I use it every single day, throughout the day, to moisturize my lips. I tend to get pretty chapped lips and I've tried some crazy expensive products (including single use serum filled capsules that cost like $3 each) to solve this problem, but nothing seems to work quite as well. I always find it a little awkward to use Vaseline in public, but this bedazzled one just might do the trick ;)

3. Neutrogena Grapefruit body wash - Yes, it really does need to be the Grapefruit one! Not only does it smell amazing, but it honestly does a great job on your skin. I used to use the original Neutrogena body wash which didn't help much, but the Grapefruit one is fantastic. Both contain 2% Salicylic Acid, which is nice too.

San Francisco Nights

Last night I attended the SF Beta event at the Minna Gallery. It was a fantastic opportunity to discover cool startups and cool people.

Having recently moved to San Francisco, I'm always shocked by how many awesome events there are here! Someone once told me, "You can drink for free every single night of the week in this city, if you want to." She was absolutely right - SF has got it going on!

#fashiongirlproblems

Unlike many a fashion gal, I'm not a bag person. I tend to purchase them only out of necessity and use them until I either can't bear to see them anymore, or they fall apart. For months now, I've been hemming and hawing about finally purchasing my first grown up designer bag—and I'm failing miserably. At the very second when I think I've finally made my decision, something new shows up to kill my game plan leaving me back at square one. The culprit this time? Phillip Lim's new 31 Hour Bag.
