One of my mom's favorite ways to guilt trip my dad is to softly, longingly lament, "Paul McCartney NEVER spent a night apart from Linda throughout their entire marriage. Not until she DIED." I have no idea if this is a true statement or not, but I heard it countless times growing up, whenever my dad would take a business trip (or golf trip). And this weekend, my dad, brother and I took a last minute trip to Austin to visit my uncle. Both Mom and Tony couldn't come, and so yet again, my dad is reminded that he is not Paul McCartney. And I'm not either... And neither is Tony. Because it's really, really, really hard to always be in the same place. Life happens.View Article

Some of the clothes in my closet that win me the most compliments and attention are from Target and Forever 21. This jumpsuit is one of them. I bought it a few years ago, and it's still in constant rotation in my ootd's because I'm a real girl/hoarder, not a fashion icon (as much as I wish the opposite). I love a steal, and I've worn this so many times (including at my bachelorette party and my wedding dress fitting), it costs negative pennies per wear at this point. Here I am posing in it in the bushes in our backyard, like that's a totally normal and not completely awkward thing to do. (Again: Real girl. Hoarder. Wannabe internet style star. Thanks for humoring me.)View Article

I woke up thinking today was Monday, so things started off on a great note when I realized I was actually two days closer to the weekend than I thought. Tony and I have been like ships passing in the night this week, and so far the highlight was on the real Monday night, when I came home from a workout and found that Tony had cooked dinner for us (homemade fried chicken with Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk in the batter, and whole wheat breadcrumbs. SO GOOD.) Here are the other distractions getting me through the week...View Article

A few months ago, I wrote about giving all the girls who came to my bachelorette party a tube of my favorite lipstick as a party favor, since they all traveled so far and took time away from their families and lives to celebrate me in Ojai. I still haven't gotten around to sorting through all the photos and writing about the mad beautiful hilarious fun of that weekend in a way that will do it justice, but my friend Christie emailed me with the great idea to do a blog with each girl wearing the lipstick. I'd read that this shade looks good on everyone, and as you can see, it really does! Some girls blotted it to go on lightly, others slicked it on for a dramatic effect, some filtered their photos and one even had her tube stolen by her baby daughter...View Article

On Saturday, I had the honor and pleasure of attending THE MOST FUN WEDDING OF ALL TIME in sunny Malibu, California. It was billed as "the wedding to end all marriages," with a Bar Mitzvah-carnival theme and an invitation that encouraged women to wear a wedding dress if they had one. It surpassed all my wildest dreams...View Article

FriYAY, amiright??? I am so excited for this weekend. Two of our favorite people are getting married tomorrow, and they have billed their nuptials "the wedding to end all marriages" - all you need to know is that it has a Bar Mitzvah carnival theme and they have insisted I wear my wedding gown. I CAN'T WAIT. Tonight, Tony's new Groundlings show starts previews and will be running Fridays and Saturdays until Thanksgiving; everything he's shown me so far is beautifully, hilariously insane and I'm stoked to see it live, with wigs and all. And Sunday, we'll be hanging and catching up with the "School of Rock" gang. (Somewhere in there, I need to finally tackle our wedding Thank You notes.) Even though it's the end of September, it still feels like an oven outside here in L.A., so I'm still dressing like I'm on summer break. This is one of my favorite buys I grabbed during a Memorial Day sale and have been wearing non-stop since...View Article

About 2 days before our wedding, Tony found out he booked a role in a movie shooting in Vancouver. Thanks to our friend and his "Hart of Dixie" co-star Laura Bell Bundy, it was a direct offer for one of the leads in a Lifetime Christmas movie, "Fiance Claus." And it was set to begin shooting just a few days after returning from our honeymoon. Best wedding gift EVER. My parents kindly offered to watch our pups for another month, so I could go with him and keep the honeymoon going. (Yet another best wedding gift EVER.) Tony and I first visited Vancouver last summer when he shot a Nickelodeon movie there, and we both fell in love with the city. I've written before about how it feels like a combination of home (Los Angeles) and my favorite place in the world (Lake Tahoe), but with nice people - it's a big city, but on the water surrounded by mountains. I would happily move there in a heartbeat. So, we were thrilled to have the chance to pretend to be locals for a month...View Article
