Whose wedding is it anyway? Rich bride, poor bride. Say yes to the dress. Platinum weddings. I watch them all. But all i want is my marriage to be announced in the NY Times Style Section. I've checked it on a weekly basis for years, and can't wait to one day see my love story in print. And taking a page from Carrie and Big (Page Six to be exact) wouldn't be so bad either ;)

If there's ever a movie made about my life, this song has to soundtrack any tragedies. Terribly beautiful Mau5.

Today i merchandised BABY YOGA PANTS. BABY YOGA PANTS!! While I am all for your Namaste lifestyle, there's no way your 12 month old needs any of this stuff. I'm also disappointed to inform you that no, there were not matching mats :(

Between obsessive friends and obsessive sisters, I live in a world of Twilight references. My only question...

...Everyone loves a good palindrome. Reminds me of the name Hannah, which reminds me of Felicity, which will forever remind me of Dani and the Chino apt.

Question of the night: how do you have a sex life if you live at home?

" you can take the girl out of the sorority, but you can never take the sorority out of the girl "

I'm slightly terrified for our nation's youth if they can't fold a t-shirt after two hours of trying. However, I can't argue with the fact that this generation has hit the gene pool lotto, and at least they look good while doing it. While I need a good distraction at work, we can't let this winter be a repeat of the summer of '07...oops ;)

... as if the amount of time I have on my hands wasn't a good enough reason to start djing

Here's more on the place we pre-gamed at...

PIZZA PORT BREWING COMPANY
571 Carlsbad Village
Carlsbad, CA

Great food, countless beers on tap, and a young waitstaff made up the surprisingly family-friendly brewery environment. Stop by one of the three locations on your next trip down the coast (also in Solana Beach and San Clemente).

Sig Eps + techno will forever remind me of EDC. After some Pizza Port and light drinking back at Blake's Vista house, the electro, substances and rave stories came out. JD was quick to remind me that he and Blake were to thank for my love of Boys Noize. The electro god debuted this song, that Friday night in June: STARTER

"It's so beautiful to see your hands in the air."

HARD HAUNTED MANSION 2009

When I'm not out on the town, you can find me holed up in my room with headphones. As a music snob, I pride myself on my ability to call beats before they go big. Music's one of very few unifying characterisitics of my family and mainly a requisite to my sanity. I don't have any favorite genre, I just dig passionate tunes.

Haven't been going out too much but when a recently-turned-21 LA friend came into town, I decided to show her two of SD's partying staples. Hugely different in their environments, I rarely find parallels bewtween DT and PB. Think about it, their crowds couldn't be more opposite.

What I came across during both nights out, however, were the venues' use of throwback videos. Now I'm not talking Biggie Smalls here people. I'm talking Iggy Pop, Michaek Franti, full fledged sing-a-longs. Never have I been so consumed by video screens. Wiskey Girl in DT and Tavern at the Beach in PB have the right idea leading the drunken masses in song to their favorite 70's 80's and 90's hits. Both nights were closed with more than your typical Journey hit. Refreshingly old skool. Step up.

There's no simpler way to put it- I heart Ivy.The DT boutique hotel caters to all different age groups and moods offering dining, lounge, and club options. While we've all partied our little hearts out on the rooftop digs, Eden, some of us are eager to tame our summer ways and try Ivy’s October launch: the wine bar.

Featuring 80 world class offerings, Ivy has created multiple tasting size options with a keycard pouring system to rival DT competitors like Syrah Spirit & Wine Parlor.

Bit of a light weight? The wine bar also offers paired appetizers and deserts to leave you warm and fuzzy rather than tipsy-turvy.

I'll start with the Veuve Clicquot. What? Champagne’s wine too.

... since I moved back to SD. I grew up knowing the ins and outs of this town, but years in the LA and OC areas have given me new perspectives on social circles. I’ve made it my mission to dive into some real south coast living, and here, we’ll discover it together.

In a city where you don’t know anyone anymore, it pays to be social. Parties, dining and drinks are my speciality, and fashion, art, and luxury are my right hand gals. So how do you live it up in a city defined by its laid-back nature? Me… I get by with a little help from my friends.
