Alexa Chung for Madewell. (don’t expect me to shut up about her any time soon)

So, how obvious is it that I’m nearly obsessed with Alexa Chung? She is definitely my one and only girl crush, and basically the coolest person ever. I have written about her on Hairdresser on Fire, and I have a folder saved in my laptop with pretty images of her for inspiration. She is just [...]

Running evaluation: Booyah.

At the beginning of this week, I decided I needed to, no had to, follow my marathon training program with 100%. I did it, booyah. Running has never been harder for me and I have been so worried about this marathon. I still have a while to prepare, but I’m running slower by about a [...]

the day that almost sucked.

I woke up this morning with the blues. The Brooklyn half marathon that I have been signed up/looking forward to for months was this morning and my head cold was still here. I decided sadly that I would be miserable running with a stuffy nose and an achy body…so I didn’t go. For a short [...]
