this week: ugly ass things on the internet


Like many men and women of Americaland, I spend a good amount of time window e-shopping. In my research I encounter some u g l y things. Why do these exist? No one knows. 

1. In case you want to look like a fuzzy old car sponge, Forever 21 has knitted a cardigan and retails it for $30.  



2. I don't even know what Madewell was trying to achieve with this one. Common, Madewell. You're better than that.

3. If you're ever unsure if your outfit is cute, quickly log on to ASOS and look in their sale section. Odds are you will find something that defies human understanding. This leopard print parka is no exception. There is no WAY that model was happy to wear that. Fake smile.

russian river adventures


Apparently, for Bay Area kids, the Russian River is the place to be on Memorial Day weekend. 
I was lucky enough to attend a 30th Birthday Extravagaaaaaanza for my bestie, Erin. She brought together a great group of people and it was wonderful to get to know new folks! That girl attracts a lot of cool cats, I tell ya. 

The river was so beautiful and peaceful. I wasn't really sure what to expect but... um... hello! Drive for a couple of hours and you're in a quaint river town? Sign me up!
