Why Did You Wear That: Erin Go Bra

By |March 17th, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

Roberto Cavalli Feather Print Jersey Push Up Bra, $240

As much as I love a good theme party, I despise themed clothing on holidays.  Sorry, I just do.  I especially despise it after the age of twelve.  Needless to say I’m not wearing green today.  Pinch me. I dare you. Anyway, I’m not a complete curmudgeon.  So, in celebration of the Irish (they’re great people afterall: potatoes, Guinness, folklore), there’s a little Irish phrase, “erin go bragh” that essentially translates into “Ireland Forever.”  I’ve gone ahead and translated it into brassieres and done a little erin go bra-ing of my own.  Because if there is one thing I do love, it’s lingerie.  This is about as festive as I’ll get.  Take what you can get, lasses.

Why Did You Eat That: South of the Border

By |September 20th, 2010|Los Angeles, Why Did You Eat That?|

804013

Last week one of my besties came from New York to visit me here in sunny Los Angeles. After launching into a diatribe about the amount of fedoras she had seen with in her first five minutes of being here, she then made a very poignant statement. She said, “Call me crazy, but I feel like everyone here tries really, really hard.” She couldn’t be more right. So, rather than take her to the typical sh*t show restaurants of Hollywood, we opted to take her somewhere a bit more low key.

Since my pal was in dire need of cocktail and craving Mexican,  El Compadre seemed like the obvious choice. Modeled after a traditional Mexican hacienda with dim lighting and live entertainment from some muchachos with guitars, it is the perfect place to enjoy some delicious food and great company… not to mention it is home to the famous “Flaming Margarita.”

l-1I really love this restaurant because it is zero glitz and glamour, but serves up totally authentic (and yummy) Mexican (though it will never replace Benny’s Burrito). There’s a reason that El Compadre has been around for thirty plus years and it probably has quite a bit to do with their enchiladas. Most plates are fairly large and could probably be shared between two people (but no one will judge you if you don’t).

So what does a girl wear to a laid back dinner in while still looking chic (and leaving enough room for tacos)?
