  • Meaningful Jewelry: Satya
    While walking around the Village a while ago, I stumbled across a cute jewelry store called Satya and was intrigued by the general “zen” feel of the place (golden Buddha statue in window and all) and decided to take a peek. With original pieces available in gold or silver, the designs were stylish, affordable and clearly inspired by elements of Buddhism and the...

  • Hanky Panky: Say Bye To Panty Lines!
    All of my girlfriends are Hanky Panky addicts. After years of having to do “rear view mirror checks” (you know the head-over-shoulder drill) for unsightly underwear lines, or feeling uncomfortable from the cut or fabric of certain brands, it’s nice to have found a solution to all of our panty woes.

  • It’s Beach Time: Cute Cover-Ups
    When I think of vacation, an image of the beach and clear blue waters comes to mind. It doesn’t get much better than laying out by the ocean (with loads of SPF on of course) with a good book in one hand and a daquiri in the other. Now that it’s officially beach season, I’m on the search for a couple of cute caftans to throw into my suitcase as cover-ups.

    Fit Flops first made it big last year. Engineered by Marcia Kilgore –the founder of Bliss Spa, the sandals with “microwobbleboard technology” promise greater calorie burn and cellulite reduction simply by walking.

  • Shopping: Charlotte Ronson Romper
    Rompers are yet another 80’s throwback making their way back onto the fashion scene. While the pants versions can be pretty hit-or-miss, romper shorts are a less serious look than their longer counterparts and are much easier to pull off. I have a pair that I absolutely love and can easily live in this season.

  • Steep vs. Cheap: Tiger Print Tees
    Comfy and casual, rocker t-shirts are a must-have for summer. Throw one on with a pair of jeans or cute sweats, and step out in true SoCal style.

  • Polls: The Hybrid Shoe
    Part leg warmer, part gladiator sandal, part flip-flop, these sandals by Cocobelle are a bit of a fashion dilemma. The evolved design is sure to turn some heads ( though not necessarily in a good way). Although the jersey and rubber shoes are probably outrageously comfortable - kind of like walking around in those footy PJ’s we used to wear as kids …we’re not...
