I have a problem on my hands here. Literally. I am currently obsessed with long (but not toooooo long), obnoxiously decorated fake nails.

Photos without filters? That’s crazy talk!
Late last Friday night, hipsters all over the world uttered a cry as their favorite social networking app, Instagram, hit the fritz. For a few hours foodies were unable to document the artisanal designs swirled in their morning cappuccino and fashionistas had to keep mirror-snapshots of their outfits to themselves. Tweets (hashtagged as #instatrippin) uttered fears of [...]
The Outlaw Roadshow
Summer is the time to kick back, get outside, take a little drive, and see a great band (or four!) This past Monday I had the pleasure of seeing “The Outlaw Roadshow” at the Iroquois Amphitheater. Headlined by Counting Crows, the tour also features Filligar, Foreign Fields, and Good Old War. It was such a fun show, [...]
