Current/Elliot Tank | Kenneth Cole Flares (similar) | Vintage Bracelet (similar)
(This tank top is WAY too expensive for a tank top, but it's surprisingly worth it just because of how very, very, very good it is - and how much you'll wear it.)
You guys, we were on the beach yesterday. In NOVEMBER. We rolled around in the sand, examined discarded crab shells, chased seagulls. I wore that tank top and jeans, but I could have easily been in a bathing suit.
Aaaaand...it's here!
I'm so excited to finally be able to show you the cover art for my second book, Carrying On: Style, Beauty, Decor (and More) for the Nervous New Mom. The book is a pregnancy memoir that I wrote while I was expecting Goldie. It's peppered throughout with beauty, fashion, and home decor ideas, but mostly it's a personal account of what life is like when you're expecting, with tales of epic fashion disasters, throwdown battles against the Mom Police, horrifying shower-stall incidents, and (much) more.
This book is the most personal thing I've ever written, and having it finally be out there feels both exhilarating and - of course - terrifying. It'll be in stores around the end of the year, but you can preorder it on Amazon now. Thank you so, so much for your support - it really does mean everything to me.
First, I would like to announce that I am at this very moment sitting in heaven. It's a place called Whimsy located a few towns over from me, and it's a half-cafe half-play space where you can hang out and drink coffee and use the free WiFi while your children get their organic toy on (in Northern California, apparently, toys are not toys unless they are Melissa & Doug toys). Your children are watched by a bunch of lovely young women who will come get you if they need something, but basically:
You are alone. In relative silence. With coffee.

A long time ago, I wrote a post about my asymmetrical eyes. And apparently - thanks to the miasma of oddity that is SEO - I am now the Official Internet Authority on this topic. That post comes up on the first page of a Google search for "asymmetrical eyes" (I checked this because I was confused as to why a post I wrote in 2011 has continued to be one of my most-read posts every single day since). I get emails almost weekly from women looking for advice on how to minimize the appearance of their own asymmetry.
So apparently there's some level of interest in the topic. It certainly continues to interest me, because despite the fact that (cheesy as it sounds) I really do believe that our "flaws" are what make us unique and beautiful...my eyes make me insecure. I notice them in every photo. They bother me. This a big part of the reason why I tend to wear sunglasses in style shoots; it's just so I don't have to worry about how my damn eyes look.

I love fall.
I hate carving pumpkins. (Like, with a passion.)
