Things I Bought That I Love: Jonathan Adler Limited Edition Lacoste Polo

Maybe it’s very Margot Tenenbaum of me, but I love little polo tshirts. My ideal style of dressing is 80’s aerobics coach meets Maasai tribeswoman, so a really prim, preppy look is not something I do...

Things I Bought That I Love: Gap 1969 Snakeskin Print Legging Jean

The legging jean has ruined life for me. I don’t remember the last time I wore proper jeans. And jeans without stretch? What are those even? Gross. I, like most Americans, love the Gap. Besides havin...

Things I Bought That I Love: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns)

A year and a half ago I started writing a book that comes out today. I am so terrified, you guys. Not because I don’t think the book is great-– which it really is, I swear-– but because it is the fir...

THINGS I BOUGHT THAT I LOVE: TRADER JOE’S PRENATAL MULTI-VITAMIN
