Is there such a thing as a fashionable PACKRAT?
Yes! According to this Marc Jacobs Domo Packrat Backpack, you can be fashionable and a packrat… who knew! I'm in the market for a new backpack… this one is a strong contender.
Chanel Aspirations
I am a girl with many aspirations, one of which is to own a pair of Chanel gloves. These are the perfect accessory, plus they will match the Chanel tweed suit that I don't have yet, but it ranks high on my list of fashion aspirations. These gloves will not only satisfy my longing for Chanel, but they will help me achieve one of life's truisms…

love thy NEXTDOOR neighbor
I have new neighbors all the time, because we move around a lot, but one day I will have steady neighbors and when we do, I will be all about my NEXTDOOR neighbors. Nextdoor is a free (and private) social networking app that connects neighbors and allows them to get social.
All users must be preapproved (so it keeps out weirdos & creeps) and it allows you to connect with neighbors to share community resources, buy, sell or trade household goods and you can also notify the neighborhood of suspicious activity. This is the NEIGHBORHOOD of the future. It blends Facebook, Craigslist and Instagram and makes it all neighborhood friendly. You can post adds for the next community cookout, donate your old crib or ask about a good lawn care service. This app is redefining what it means to be a good NEXTDOOR neighbor… and making it a little easier if you ask me!
c'est un selfie
The times of "hey… can you take this pic please" is rapidly declining, and is usually reserved for us ancient 30 somethings who have not perfected the art of the selfie. The good ol' days of asking perfect strangers to take several pictures (because the first one is never good enough) of you and your friends have been replaced by the "SELFIE". Now a days we spend upwards of forever trying to capture the perfect picture on our own, all in the name of the selfie.
Like many others out there, I am no selfie pro and I usually give up after the first 98 bad pics, even though I am very aware that picture number 204 is usually the perfect pic. There is a true art to the selfie approach and serious precision is required. You have to think about lighting, angle, how to get your arm out of the pic, looking at the actual camera instead of the screen and hardest of all looking effortless.

For us less talented selfie takers, this tool should help us out. The Selfie Snap, marketed as the "solution to bad selfies," is a wireless camera shutter remote for iPhone & Android users. This little tool works on iPhones and iPads and can wirelessly control your camera functions, including switching from front camera to back camera, from up to ten feet away.
For us less inclined selfie takers I believe this is one small step towards our endless desire of the perfect selfie. I'm looking forward to the day I can take one (maybe three) pictures and say "c'est un selfie!"

Why GO to them, when THEY will COME to you
The world is now more connected than ever which gives us easy access to all things luxe, lav & DOPE. The problem is that there are far less luxe things that consume our days… like work. While I may have more of an untraditional job, that doesn't have a definite title, other than wife and blogger, I still "work" and that "work" seems to always keep me busy.
In between my "working" sessions, the combination of travel and great convo with friends, coupled with my extreme magazine and internet addictions, have led me to discover some amazingly dope stuff. Well here is another, that will help bring a little bit of luxe and a whole lot of GLAM right to my door.
There is a new wave of mobile glam squads that are making some serious house calls. Let me first say that I love making a girls day out of any pamper related services, but my ultimate desire is to have someone bring all of that to me… preferably while I sip a glass of wine in my pj's… besides, why go to them when they can come to you. Now for me, getting all dolled up is the perfect start and finish to my night, but for those nights out on the town, wouldn't a mobile glam squad be the perfect kickoff.
From coast to coast, beauty house calls are being made for everything from blowouts to braids, makeup to manis, they do it all. Check out some of the apps on iTunes like Topcoat, Priv, Blow Me or Glam Squad the next time your in the big apple, L.A. or San Francisco. I am flying the friendly skies and in need of a mani so I will be trying out Topcoat in SF. Then I'm headed to NYC, so I'll check out the services at PRIV. I'll keep you guys posted on my thoughts and experiences with my new and pre assumed amazing glam squad… but the only thought I have right now is… well...AMAZING!
The New NEW...
The "IT" bag changes like the weather, from Boston's to Birkins, Celiné to McQueen, the bag de jour is relevant to your fashion source. TV, Celebs, Mags and Media all play a part on the bag scene, but here is a new one for you courtesy of the fashion house of le Weeks. According to Elle Magazine the real New New in the bag world is the IV bag. While this bag, like many, are not for everyone, those gals that are still out on the scene and have no time for late nights cut short or early morning dizziness and dehydration, this bag, my friends is for you.
There is a new wave of mobile IV hydration boutiques that can cure a hangover and beat the alcohol binge in less than an hour. The cocktails that these companies are serving up consist of nausea fighting meds, anti-aging goodies, vitamins and saline. You can hydrate, look younger, feel better and get a glow all at once, and some of these shops will even come to you.
Shops like Hangover Heaven, Reviv Wellness Spa and IVme are popping up everywhere, from the mean streets of NYC to the Sunny blocks of Sunset, which means that the sophisticated party girls can continue to pop bottles without looking… well… like their last night got the best of them well into TOnight.
These treatments can range from $99 to around $300, which if you have ever had a hangover, a $99 fix is well worth it. When you compare this new "IT" bag to the bags of fashions past, this is a definite winner across all categories, plus all girls want that NEW NEW!
