The Monday Rundown
New series alert! Every Monday I’m going to bring four things to you that are currently making me happy. A little happy dose for the worst day of the week! Sigh.
T By Alexander Wang One Shoulder Dress: I tried this dress on at Fred Segal a few weeks ago but they didn’t have my size (as I mentioned here). I couldn’t resist so I ended up ordering the LSD (Little Sage Dress) from ShopBop.com and liked it SO much that I then ordered the same version in black. The bad news? Both versions are now on sale and I paid full price. Get them on sale (since I didn’t)! The sage version is marked down to $99 (from $165) and the black version is marked down to $82.50 (also from $165)!
Birthday Cake in a Jar: As of late, I’ve been consumed with the idea of cakes in a jar. It’s weird, I know, but I’m thinking it may be a side affect from this super strict diet that I’m currently on (more about that later…so not Monday appropriate). This recipe looks fairly easy, for the baking-retarded like myself, and is pretty and festive.
NARS Nail Polish in “Orgasm”: Everyone raves about the color “Orgasm” from NARS and I’ve always agreed – the color is pretty and works well on almost all skin tones. And then I came across the nail polish version and became and even bigger believer. I want, no, I NEED this color for summer.
“All You Need Is Love” hand painted wall decor: The famous Beatles quote is, simply put, just lovely hand-painted on a wooden plank. The artist makes these in Northern California and can even customize color and size. I’m contemplating this for my entry way. Thoughts?

This Week’s Online Shopping Haul
For me, this week has been just a little bit crazy. I never considered myself a “stress shopper” but alas, I think I might just be that since last night happened. I decided that I was going to buy myself four things that I’ve been coveting but haven’t had the, for lack of a better word, balls to actually buy myself. You know what? I deserve it. And I can’t wait for everything to arrive…god bless online shopping.
Jessica Elliot Double Floating Finger Candy Ring: My friend Chelsea had a similar ring that she scored from Forever21; however, they’re totally sold out so of course, I am forced to buy the version that costs $175. C’est la vie.
Weekend trip to Las Vegas(!): My good friend Maura was assigned a spa story that just so happens to be located in Vegaaaaas (she’s a very fancy Lucky magazine senior editor) so she asked me if I wanted to come out a few days early to hang with her. Actually, her exact email said “don’t you LA people go to Vegas like every weekend?” Yes Maura, we most certainly want to. And this time, we WILL. I bought a Delta flight going to Vegas and a Spirit (?) airlines ticket for the way back to LA. The “?” after Spirit indicates my desire to not crash and die since I’ve never heard of this airline.
Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica: I blogged about this a-pause-mazing moisturizer back in March after receiving a few mini samples of the product and absolutely loving it. My skin is like the sahara 90% of the time and this is the first moisturizer in a looong time to actually do the trick, which is exactly why I don’t mind spending my actual hard-earned money on this product. And note, I hardly ever actually buy my own beauty products so that should say a LOT.
T by Alexander Wang One Shoulder Dress: I bought this dress in the “sage” green color about two weeks ago after trying the dress on at Fred Segal. I wore the sage version to Soho House the other night and loved it so much that I decided I needed the black version as well. A woman can never have too many LBD’s, you know?
