I’m sitting here with a cup of green tea 🍵 in my hand and trying to figure out how to start this post, so I’ll start with some things that I know to be true. Tomorrow (Monday) will mark one week since Tabs took his final runway walk. I can’t say that I’m anywhere near feeling like my usual self again, but every day I hurt a little less. Today I put on mascara for the first time in weeks. And blush. And concealer. (I would like to think Tabs would be proud.) I may even paint my nails tonight....

Are you ready for 14 Days of Ravishing Red? Stay tuned as we explore ravishing red 💄 lipsticks, lip liners and glosses every day on our way to 💕 Valentine’s. When I say the words, “red lipstick,” and I picture a tube of a righteously redolent red, I don’t picture matte pink or coral. I picture a raucous rouge. Of course. But that’s why shades like MAC Relentlessly Red are so fun and interesting — because they don’t just fall into the basic, run-of-the-mill red category. Relentlessly Red is red…but just barely, because it’s infused with mucho coral. Even though...

Tabs is startin’ the party early! He’s already got his New Year’s getup picked out. To be honest, he was hoping to get into a New Year’s brawl with Harris today, but Harris was nowhere to be found, so peace reigned over the neighborhood this morning. This hat was inspired by fireworks, masquerade balls and Adam Levine’s too-tight jeans. Tabs showed surprising restraint when he designed it. I thought he was going to just completely encrust it in jewels and gems, but instead, he went more of a minimalist route. I still think it looks good. Vogue did a write-up,...

At one point over the seven days I wore Smith & Cult Analog Fog on my paws, the weather took a decidedly dark, chilly turn… It started to look like fall. We closed the windows and contemplated turning on the heater. Also, I started baking stuff in my oven again. I cranked out three lasagnas (one was even gluten-free, what-what!), two banana blueberry oatmeal bakes, a gluten-free pizza from Costco, and two batches of oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies. Really, Smith & Cult should have named this polish “When It’s Cold, Bake Your @ss Off” instead. Taking everything I did into account,...

Don Quixote. 1955 sketch by Pablo Picasso of the Spanish literary hero and his sidekick, Sancho Panza. It was featured on the August 18–24 issue of the French weekly journal Les Lettres Françaises in celebration of the 350th anniversary of the first part of Cervantes’s Don Quixote. Made on August 10, 1955, the drawing Don Quixote was in a very different style than Picasso’s earlier Blue, Rose, and Cubist periods.
