Me, In The Mirror

Jacket (similar) | Women's March Tee | Joggers

I've said it over and over, but love Instagram Stories. I love that I seriously do not care what my bedroom looks like behind me (ok mayyyyyybe I sometimes frame out things like, say, an uncomfortably enormous pile of dirty laundry or a glass of wine left over from the night before so no one thinks I'm drinking wine at 8:30 in the morning while living in a hovel, but still).

I love that I get to post the kinds of outfit shots I used to post way back when I started this whole thing: the ones I took myself in a mirror, because what, like I was going to hire a photographer?! Hahahaha. (Totally hire photographers now.)

We Made A Movie

A few days ago, my son and I were in the car and decided to pass some time by coming up with a story together. There was a guy. A pirate. And he had a dog named Lucy. And then there was this other pirate. And so on.

When we got home, I thought I'd show him what a "storyboard" was (it's basically a series of - usually sketchily drawn - images that shows you every frame of a commercial/tv show/movie and how it'll be shot). Once we had the storyboard, it made sense to start putting together costumes. And once we had the costumes, well...

We obviously had to make a movie.

Completely Random (And Amazing) Discoveries You Need To Know About

I keep a running list of things I want to write about on RG. Some of the things I jot down never end up turning into posts either because I jotted them down in the middle of the night and they make no sense in the light of day, or because I realize that they're terrible and/or tragically mortifying ideas. As an example of the latter, one of the notes in my phone right now says, "Order Thinx period underpants & test-run for post." This does not seem like an especially advisable life choice.

The post ideas that give me the most trouble, though, are the ones that I like but don't really merit a full-length post, or the ones that I like but have no idea how to talk about in long-form without sounding even weirder than I usually do. Except my current list of cool stuff I want to mention is getting annoyingly long, and I'm starting to realize that I'm not going to suddenly be struck with an elegant way to introduce the topic of, say, foot-shaving, because an elegant way to introduce the topic of foot-shaving does not exist.

So here we go. Five things I'm all about right now that have absolutely nothing to do with each other save for the fact that you really need to know about them all.

What’s Up

The Itty-Bitty Camp Tee on my favorite girl

A question I've gotten over and over and over lately: what is up with glam | camp?

I haven't been posting as much about it lately, true. New additions to our inventory have been few and far between, and the best sweatshirt in the world has been out of stock for a solid month. If you look at our About page, there's a whole new person there. And the reason why I've been more or less radio silent on the topic lately is that we've been in a state of transition, and I wanted to wait until we worked out any kinks before posting about it.

(How To) Break On Through

Here's the question that's on my mind - and so many other people's minds - lately: What do we do now?

Yes, the Women's March was incredible; yes, more people showed up than anyone could have imagined; yes, it's clear that millions of people are ready and willing to fight back...but still, the question remains: How do we keep going? Especially in the face of the tidal waves of news stories that wash over us every morning, alerting us to the fact that yes, once again THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING A PERSON CAN DO HAS BEEN DONE? (I've actually started trying to internally narrate my morning news consumption using John Oliver's voice, because every single day opens with "Here is a decision that must be made, and the options are a) Goodness and Light, and b) Death and Hellfire," and virtually every time the answer is "Well, B, OBVIOUSLY. Why? Because...hey, look over there! Is that Ivanka in a cute dress?! THE BABY IS CRAWLING!"

Boss Life

For the entirety of my childhood – up through and including my teenage years – I used Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil. When I was a kid it was just what we had sitting by the tub, but by the time I was a teenager I actively sought it out: It had taken on an air of nostalgic simplicity and made me feel both elegant and a touch retro, even though I wasn’t sure exactly why.

And now I do.

10 Statement Jackets You Need To See

A statement jacket for minimalists, this twill piece with contrasting scarlet cuffs (and a box-pleat bag) is more like a gorgeous sculpture than outerwear.s).

10 statement jackets that you seriously need to take a look at (some because you should probably buy them, others because...well, you'll see) are below.

Crazy Sprinkles

Poncho

I have fully embraced walking to kindergarten dropoff each morning while dressed as a character from Grey Gardens. This morning, for example, I accompanied my child to school wearing sunglasses the size of basketballs, striped sweatpants with sparkly silver stars on them...and a massive faux-fur coat that each and every one of his classmates immediately needed to pet, making me quite the hot topic at the dropoff line ("MRS. INDY'S MOM, WHY DO YOU FEEL LIKE A KITTEN.").

When you're in the mood to get a little odd with it, my feeling is that it's all about what you put on top. You can be all white-t-shirt-and-jeans and zzzzzzz underneath, but if you cover the whole thing up with a massive, multicolor-striped, fringed and hooded poncho-esque creation that evokes Yoda via Lilith Fair, or perhaps a fuzzy coat that brings to mind a Bantha with a goth dye job (I mean that as a compliment)? You're good. Like, real good.

What To Do During A Power Outage (In Los Angeles)

When the power goes out on the East Coast, everybody rolls their eyes and gets Chinese takeout and goes out to a bar or to bed. When the power goes out on the West Coast, there is widespread panic and people floating down streets in duck rafts. Having been suddenly detached from social media and television and PerezHilton.com, Los Angelenos sit paralyzed in the center of their darkened living room floors, asking themselves life's greatest question:

...What do I do now?

Last night, as you know if you follow me on Snapchat or IG stories, our power went out, along with the power of...ohhhhh....everybody in LA, apparently.
