Welcome to the start of, what I’m officially deeming, CLUELESS WEEK. Yes, that’s right, an entire week of Clueless-themed blog posts! You are welcome. I’m kicking things off with a modern take on Cher’s classic Alaia dress. I know what you’re thinking: “an a-what-a?” CLASSIC.

3. Michael Michael Kors Chain Zip Dress
4. French Connection Classic Annie Jersey Dress
#CluelessWeek
Lately I haven’t been feeling very social, which sometimes DOES happen to me. Don’t get me wrong, I probably still go out more than your average 30-year-old woman but I’ve noticed that there are definitely some nights (even weekends) when I’m just like “eh…I think I’ll stay in with a bottle of wine.” And yes, I did say BOTTLE, instead of glass; this sometimes gets me into trouble. And yeah, my friends make fun of me when I complain about a slight hangover and they ask “what did you do last night?” to which I reply, “nothing..I stayed in and drank by myself.” WHATEVER, I say to their side eyed-glances. I think that if, at 30, you can’t sit alone in your apartment and drink some wine, then you really have some issues. It’s OK to be alone. In fact, you should ENJOY it. The old saying goes that you can’t expect anyone else to love you, if you can’t love yourself, right? Well the best way to get to know “thyself” is to spend that quality time with…THYSELF. Regardless, I recently came across this Refinery29 article about exactly what I’m talking about: what to do when you stay in, and it got me thinking…do I have regular habits when I stay home (aside from the wine, of course)? Well here are my expert recommendations of what I think everyone should try. What do you guys do when you stay in?
1. Michael Popp #Poppaganada shirt: You may have read my post back in December where I mentioned a long-time friend was diagnosed with cancer. Well, I’m happy to report that while he’s not completely out of the woods, he IS doing well. He’s selling these rad shirts to help with the cost of his recent battle with leukemia and his even more recent bone marrow transplant.
2. La Fresh Nail Polish Remover Acetone-Free Pads: Every time I’m traveling, I always seem to notice that my nails look absolutely awful; it’s like kind of comedic at this point. With that said, I got SUPER excited when I discovered these little travel pack nail polish remover pads! I mean, I’m just going to leave them in my “to-go bag.” Done.
3. Clinique A Different Nail Enamel For Sensitive Skin in “Yellow Genius”: I blogged about the Clinique nail polish line before but I’m really into this limited-edition shade, inspired by Clinique’s original “yellow genius,” its famous moisturizer.
4. Stella and Bow “As If” bracelet: I don’t need to explain my Clueless obsession, or why I love this bracelet. End of story.
5. NUANCE Salma Hayek Lasting Wear Gel Eyeliner: I have a rough time finding an eyeliner that doesn’t run down my face, true story. However, I recently tried this gel version from NUANCE Salma Hayek and I LOVE it. It’s awesome.

Whenever some asks me why I don’t wear a watch, I reference this scene from Clueless:
Mel (Cher’s dad): Do you know what time it is?
Cher: A watch doesn’t really go with this outfit, daddy.
But, guys, I recently spotted this ridiculously cute watch from La Mer Collections, and I might be a convert. It’s just annoying to me to have something on your wrist, unless it’s a cute bracelet, so the fact that this watch is pretty much disguised as a trendy wrap bracelet…well, I’m way into it.
