Gift Guide: First Time for Everything

By |February 14th, 2014|Gift Guide|

40-year-old-virginOne of the best parts about being in a relationship other than having someone to keep your feet warm is the level of intimacy that can be reached.  I’m not sure all guys understand that the longer you’re with a woman and the more she trusts you, the hotter things can (and will) get.  While I’m a firm believer that things should be steamy year round, even in the chilly winter months, it’s nice to have a day especially dedicated to pure romance.  So, have some fun with it and be thankful that you’ve got somebody to share your hopes, dreams, and dirty little secrets with.

Setting the Mood: Love Me Tender or Not So Much.

By |February 10th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

valentines dayThe only day in February with more unnecessary hype surrounding it than the first day of Fashion Week is Valentine’s Day.  While I’m love’s greatest champion even after all my crashing, burning, and broken hearts, Valentine’s Day gives me a little bit of anxiety.  Not really for myself so much as the rest of the general population.  My blackened heart basically makes me immune to the inevitable disappointment of people everywhere who dreamt up a day so romantic it would make Cinderella sick.  Without fail, plans fall apart, hearts get shattered, and mascara finds its way down tear stained cheeks.

Don’t believe me?  Check out a few of my Valentine’s Day massacres:

One year it was spent eating an entire box of red velvet cupcakes and crying with my gay best friend.  Did I mention the cupcakes had been meant for his date who canceled an hour before?

I once went through a breakup while seated next to my boyfriend turned ex boyfriend on an airplane on the way home from Los Angeles.  That was an awfully long flight.

And last year I really exceeded all of my bad decision making capabilities with a late night margarita fueled rendezvous.  That lead to an entire year of what some might consider an all around bad decision.  I’d actually like to thank the fine folks previously employed at Mole for having served us more tequila shots than there are days in February.

But it’s not all bad.  People have gotten engaged, met at single’s mixers, and lived out The Bachelor worthy dates.  So, let’s go with that.  While I’ll probably padlock myself indoors and surrender my iPhone to my doorman for the evening so as to avoid my apparent February 14th curse, you kids go out and have fun.

Setting the Mood: Love Always

By |February 4th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

valentines editorial mood boardMuch like death and taxes, there’s another day that’s unavoidable and sometimes just as unpleasant.  One might believe that with all my relationship mishaps, trainwrecks, and heartbreaks, I’d grow a little bitter.  Ironically enough, I’m love’s biggest fan.  I love love.  I love people who are in love.  I love being in love (though I’m starting to forget how that feels).  So rather than being bitter Betty come February 14th, how about embracing the day and spreading a little love instead?

Why Did You Wear That: Budget Bride

By |February 23rd, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

Going right along with my post from yesterday and my love for all things lovely, I was inspired to find some beautiful wedding dresses for the brides to be out there.  I was amazed how many gorgeous dresses are available for under $1000 (Hopefully, my mother isn’t reading cause she’ll punch me for picking one for about ten times as much- sorry, mom!).  If you aren’t aware, weddings are freaking expensive!  The dress alone can exhaust your financial resources, so finding so many amazing options (seriously something for everyone) is a total relief.  These dresses are all of the rack, so you have plenty of time to save up and then get alterations done.  When you order designer dresses they take about six months to be made and then add time for alterations – not a whole lot of time to pinch pennies.  I’m not gonna be shy, I’ve really outdone myself this time, behold 24 to die for dresses.  You’re welcome!

Would You Wednesday: Julia Roberts Edition

By |August 18th, 2010|Celebrity Style, Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

prettywoman

God, I love Julia Roberts. I really, really do… but this outfit. I mean, come on. Here she is promoting Eat, Pray, Love in Tokyo wearing Dries Van Noten. I don’ t know (nor do I want to) who her shoes are by. All I do know is they don’t match. Jules, next time, you’d be better off sticking with your Pretty Woman wardrobe.
