I had a giant roach in my room this morning, and let’s just say I did not handle this like a sensible adult. He was just cold! Did I deserve staying in this room more than he did? Is my life worth more than his? I’m so sorry, roach. I’m sorry you had to leave Read more

7:30 AM Wake up before dawn and get ready to run out the door. Pause. Add a huge hat and a pink faux fur coat. I might be going to the market to buy food for dinner, but you can never be overdressed. I’m only half joking, it’s the last day of the year! Apart Read more
I was on the hunt for a pair of sleek Chelsea boots for quite some time and finally found these at Deichmann. They have subtle texture contrast, visually elongate your legs and go with just about any outfit. Here are just two I managed to trick my friends into photographing.

You know when you wake up the next day after Halloween with a severe case of post-Halloween hair? Here’s the perfect hairstyle to sort that out: the bubble ponytail.
