35 Years of Disney
It was 1971. A young man had just graduated UNLV’s hospitality management program, nabbed a coveted job as an assistant manager of one of two hotels at a yet-to-be-opened, much buzzed about theme park, moved to Orlando, Florida and became part of an iconic team: one of the first employees of Walt Disney World. The following…

One-half of the super girl group The Girls with Glasses, Summer Bellessa started her career in modeling before publishing her own women’s magazine Eliza. Then she met future bestie Brooke on MySpace and the rest is glitter bespeckled herstory.

Read MoreThe Day I Ate My Heart Out
Almost a decade ago, in the midst of a public scandal, we met and became the best of friends. Seven years later, I finally cashed in on that friendship (Oh yeah, there was also that interview, the one that went viral, was on every website and broke this one for days. But now that we’ve gotten that…

Read MoreSuper (Self) Love
12 years ago, I broke up with my boyfriend. On Super Bowl Sunday. Two hours before I was supposed to be at a party he was throwing. That might not be a big deal to some: artists, bookworms, Eskimos, Amish… But, to this guy, it was the equivalent of kicking down the door on Christmas…
Read MoreI LOVE My New Work Space
Working from home has its challenges. When that “home” is a small New York City apartment, those obstacles increase. While my backyard is the world’s greatest playground and I’m constantly inspired outside, inside was another matter. Our lack of light, low ceilings and cramped spaces curtail my creativity quite a bit. I was trying to…

When Zach told me he had a conference in Palm Springs in January and asked if I wanted to come along, my only question was, “How long can we stay?” Seriously. Any excuse to take a break in the middle of winter, kid-free, to a warmer place is an absolute given in my book but when…
Read MoreResort Wear 2016
My trip this week to Southern California got me excited for spring and summer for a variety of reasons (the warm air, light-filled days, open-toed shoes…) but mostly, the fashion. If you’re taking a tropical vacation this winter, the following items are sure to sizzle. This custom hat makes such a statement. And at hundreds of…
Read MoreMini Vest
Mini vest for my mini. I can’t get enough of my little snow bunny in this faux fur vest with toggle buttons, skinny jeans and tall boots. I want to take her to a ski lodge stat. This particular vest is no longer available but there are similar versions here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Her same boots here. So much sass.

At the airport… Zach: What are you doing? Nat: Double checking your work. Zach: I’m telling you, we’re at Gate 17. Nat: I going to pay more attention in 2016, not just let you lead and then find ourselves in a pickle. Zach: I thought it was to be more on time. Nat: No. Zach: This morning you said 2 minutes. Then…
