I now have four pairs of Melissa shoes—those shoes made out of rubber from Brazil—and wear them all the time. They’re reasonably price, very comfortable and even more adorable.

I’m not a fan of the red rock with trash bags sticking out look at the Orlando Pueblo (Blackburn and Orlando), though I appreciate the fact that the owner of the condo complex goes with the desert-y climate they’re afforded rather than wasting water. The orange wild flowers currently in bloom are a huge improvement […]

A recent exclusive at Scent Bar on Beverly Boulevard, Safi, an eau de parfum based on lychee fruit. Sounds sweet and worth checking out.

I’m digging Tasca’s quickie makeover to their outdoor seating. Basically, the latest addition is the chandelier-like candelabras, but it’s a nice touch which further extends the restaurant outside.
