Is it just us, or is it impossible to get out of bed these days? More likely than not, it’s because the weather here has been rainy and chilly—and staying curled up under the covers seems like a much better option than stomping through puddles.

In addition to blogging for us once a week, she’ll also be writing for the Birchbox Magazine and keeping us up to speed on all things fashion, beauty, and fun.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been collecting images of nebulas. There’s something about these colorful interstellar clouds that fascinate me. My favorite has always been the Eagle Nebula, which is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. I have an image of it on both my business card and website. (Nerd much?)

I love a good fruit print. In addition to offering a charming sartorial statement, there’s something about wearing fruit that instantly lifts your mood. Maybe because eating fruit is fun and it’s an honest to goodness treat. With that said, this Coachella weekend, I’m swapping predictable neon, animal print, and floral numbers for a bounty of produce-inspired pieces that are sure to harvest plenty of smiles.

Every so often, all we crave is an old-fashioned movie night. Sometimes, things go wonderfully (like when we watched the German silent film Metropolis). And sometimes they go terribly (such as when we discovered Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez’s Holiday in Handcuffs).
