Yes to a gel-assisted swoop. Love a good hand-tossed hairdo.

Kim Kardashian Covers CR Fashion Book. Ok.

I think I'm more than ok with this. For one, I appreciate her love of family, something (maybe the only thing) we have in common. She can't be all that bad.

Personal choices and lifestyle aside, Kim is beautiful. I prefer her like this, without the drag queen eyeliner and '80s redux contouring. Unclear on the gold teeth, but it's a look. What I love most is her real woman figure. Yes, some of it is enhanced, but who can forget her goddess-like proportions on the cover of W a few years ago?

The world could use more goddess.

Private Numbers

Not exactly custom jewelry, but the rings are personal this way: stacking the rings however I want, the combination is mine alone.

Pearls, my birthstone, will always mean more to me than another jewel, and more than they would to someone not born in June.

Rings are my favorite jewelry - typing, writing, whatever you're doing, you get to look at them all day. And I always wear jewelry given to me by the people I love. (Hint).

The way retail and fashion work these days, if you want any of the great fall/winter goods, now, when it's 80 degrees and sunny, is the time to snap it up. 

Something about the ritual of buying new fall clothes in the heat of summer feels like back to school shopping - a time to decide how you want to portray yourself visually. Back then, back to school shopping never felt complete without a new pair of fall booties. Now, the Alexander Wang Audrey is calling my name.
