Tear&Wear

Here's our newest Tear&Wear post featuring Becca.
BK took this uber chic ensemble and changed it into a fun and sassy everyday outfit. Way to use the black shorts, tall heals and killer purse to create this Tear&Wear BK!

Not only did Becca rock the T&W but she also designed this (and all future) T&W collages! What would I do without her awesome graphic designing skills...

This is How We Do

A little while back I did a post featuring recent quotes from some of my friends. And I think it's time for another...

Once again, thanks friends for always making me laugh.

"Sometimes you’ve got to put your sauciest foot forward…"

Me: Don't even think about getting a dog.

Gina: YES. When you move in he's going to have to share your bed is that okay?

Me: NO. He will pee and bark and then one day accidentally walk out the window I "accidentally" leave open.

Gina: Maybe I will get a cat then. They always land on their feet. Wait sick no. I hate cats.

-Gina and I via Text

The hot brother from Bride Wars who was also in that ABC show October Road is in a new HBO show that looks gooood. Naturally I luv him from a single season ABC show.

Whaddda want? Want me to drop a beat? If you can't take the kitchen get outta heat. Work hard play hard call me badass. Can't give me a test that I won't pass.

Tear&Wear

Some friends from work came up with a fabulous idea this week.
It's called TEAR&WEAR.

The idea is to TEAR an image out of a magazine and WEAR your own clothes to create a similar outfit. It's not about matching it perfectly and there is NO shopping allowed. It's just about style inspiration- using YOUR OWN closet to revamp your style.
Our first attempt turned out pretty great. We all tore out images for each other and it was fun to see how amazing everyone looked rocking their own gear. We plan to do it each week so stay tuned for lots more TEAR&WEAR.

From the shorts to the jacket to the sassy pose, Tiranan knows how to tear it up.

How awesome is the image above?? It was, of course, designed by brilliant BECCA. More to come!!

Just Call Me JWOW

A few short months ago I took a trip with my family to the east coast. We rented a cozy beach house from my dad’s cousin that was just perfect for hosting afternoon barbecues and long Italian dinners with our extended family, most of whom live in the area and were excited for the west coast cousins to finally visit. Usually when we see this side of the family it’s during their trips to California. So we thought it was time for us to make our way to them. And let me tell you- it was a great idea. The trip was so relaxing and it was great to lay out on the beach and dip in the Atlantic ocean! Rachel and Gina took the greyhound in from Manhattan to come stay with us, which made it that much more fun. We had lots of sun and carbohydrates…what more could you ask for?

Oh and, silly me- I forget to mention WHERE this delightful beach house was. Our nice, calm family vacation was actually at the

JERSEY SHORE!

YEP

IT’S TRUE.

I’m admitting it. Finally.

I have been to the Jersey shore.

You may as well call me JWOW.

I’m not even going to try and defend myself. The show has become so popular that I can basically brag about having been there. The beach house we rented was in Ocean City, which to my understanding is nearly an hour from Seaside, (where the Jersey Shore peeps lived.) Our version of the shore was pretty different, starting with the fact that Ocean City is a DRY CITY. The craziest thing we did was bring some “mixed” drinks in water bottles to the miniature golf course. Needless to say Gina lost and my brothers got pretty rowdy. It was certainly no night at Karma with The Situation.

I put up some pics from the trip so you can take a look at my version of the Jersey Shore.

And even though our trip was nothing like the debauchery on the MTV show, it’s still pretty great to think that Snooki and I have something in common.

Musically Obsessed

So I've found my new current music obsession...
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
I wasn't familiar with her music up until recently when Jen burned me her CD Lungs. And let me tell you, it's utterly amazing. Her sound is so original and the CD is definitely worthy of being played on repeat. Some of my favorite tracks are:
Howl
Between Two Lungs
Rabbit Heart
And she does a killer cover of 'You've Got the Love' by The Source.

And on the note of great music...
Today I stumbled upon the Coachella 10 Lineup.
Holy shiz- it's outstanding. Obviously Coachella does not disappoint. Last year was an absolute blast, my personal highlights being The Killers, MIA and Mastercraft. And if I'm able to make the trek this year I will be even more excited. We're talking Jay Z, Kaskade, Phoenix, Passion Pit, Sia, Tiesto, and Florence and the Machine too! I better find a way to make that happen...
