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?
So living in California, it’s only to be expected that I’m super fond of “the flop.” They’re just.so.comfortable…and as of late, I’m particularly obsessed with Havaianas. These 
So by now everyone knows about the terrible state Japan is currently in. I was awake when the news broke about the earthquakes and tsunami that hit Japan and I sat in terror and utter fear thinking about how scared the people of Japan must’ve been. I studied abroad in Japan in winter of 2004 and I have to say, as someone who has traveled all over the world and has been to four continents, Japan is one of the most amazing, dynamic and unique places that I’ve traveled to. It truly saddens me what Japanese citizens are facing but, at the same time, I’m also happy to see that brands are doing what they can to contribute.
