Drea James, my fave California girl, straight from the beaches of San Diego, is my summer muse. It’s already been settled that I’m obsessed with vintage (most things in my closet, err, suitcase, are older than me), but every single gosh darn one of Drea James’ necklaces, bracelets and set of earrings are absolutely divine.

“And quite frankly, your Type A personality pisses me off,” the soccer mom growled at me this am as I slipped into security at Dulles-Washington airport on my way to Atlanta.

I promise to listen to myself, speak up for myself, advocate for myself, & believe in me. I promise to say I’m beautiful, intelligent, strong, funny, & brilliant at least once a day.

I have a confession to make. As I stood in line 2 long hours waiting for EG (as I fondly call Emily Giffin) to sign my SoBo (Something Borrowed) & SoBlue (Something Blue) books at her HOTM book launch, I couldn’t tell my compadres that I hadn’t read all of her books. In fact, I [...]

GUEST BLOGGER: Mandy Robbins Taylor So, everyone knows that our beloved editor, Bethany, claims to be the ultimate summer-hater; greatly preferring scarves, boots, and cute coats to sweat, sunburns and hot dog overload. But while browsing for summer clothes on ModCloth.com the other night, I found myself repeatedly thinking: This is SO Bethany! No, THIS [...]

It’s true. Ask your best friend, your mom or even me. When you’ve been sexually abused, as a child or an adult, the biggest thing you lose is your voice. You feel ashamed. Like it was your fault. Like you did something to deserve it. And if you tell someone what happened, your mom, your [...]
