You guys, I’m headed to Greece on Wednesday, and I’m kind of freaking out for two reasons: 1. I’m going alone—what am I supposed to do with my hands and all those extra thoughts without an almost-four-year-old to wrangle? 2. Outfits! Typically, I would basically buy a whole new wardrobe for my vacation, and this […]
Iris Apfel on How to Style Accessories and Denim—at any Age
I recently had the pleasure of attending a fashion presentation by Blue Illusion, a brand that’s extremely well-known in Australia, but has just three stores in the United States, all of them in Northern California. It truly has something for everyone, from faux-leather leggings (my favorite) to casual, versatile day dresses. Another favorite of mine […]
My Five Treatments With Hairprint Non-Toxic Hair Color
Back in July, I told you about a new hair color product I was trying out called Hairprint. It was invented by the country’s top scientist in the field of “green chemistry” (i.e. the kind that aims not to make people sick), Dr. John Warner. I went through some ups and downs with the product. At this […]
No Toxins, All Science: Restore Your Hair to Its Youthful Color and Luster
Photo by Kourosh Karimkhany My hair has gone quite gray in my 40’s, and I hadn’t seen its natural color in more than a decade. But now I have.

Blue Sky and Blue Jeans
Photos by Jennine Jacob. When I was little, I begged my mom to wear jeans every day starting in second grade. But she felt strongly a little girl should wear a dress to school. As soon as I was free to choose my own outfits, guess what I wore every single day? I had some […]
My New Favorite Jeans: DL 1961 High Rise Ninas
Photo by Jennine Jacob The thigh gap is my unicorn. The space betwixt my upper thighs remains stubbornly dark and gapless as a playback and will, I’m certain, remain so until the day I die. I accept this, even as discussion of the proverbial thigh gap reaches a fever pitch. The Beyonce gap flap made […]
Four Poisonous Facts About Your Style That Will Make You a Greener Shopper
As I mentioned on Instagram, I had the pleasure of interviewing Greta Eagan, author of a new book called Wear No Evil, at Amour Vert’s beautiful new boutique in SF’s Hayes Valley on Saturday. She was lovely, and knowledgeable on a topic I’ve always been interested in but often been lazy about: ecologically-responsible fashion. I […]
So I Got Fired Yesterday
Yep, I got canned. It’s kind of the worst feeling, and it’s embarrassing, and my first instinct was to not let anyone ever know this really humiliating thing happened to me. In fact, I fibbed to one of my closest friends yesterday when I told her I couldn’t make it to the girl’s night out […]
This Is My Skin on Technology
It occurred to me recently that my vanity is crowded not only with makeup, nail polish, curling irons, and various skin creams, but also quite a few items that can be reasonably categorized as technology. It also occurred to me that I love not having to go to a spa to use these devices. That’s […]
