New Year's Eve - The Drinks
Ah champagne! The drink of dreams! The stuff legends are made of (or hangovers, same thing really). I love champagne, or prosecco as it is called in Italy, or cava in Spain, or espumates in Brazil, or whatever it’s called in any other language. When I first moved in by myself, in that shitty, dank apartment on 38 1/2 street, I half jokingly told my friends that the only things I would ever...

I learned some math today: OPI Golden Rules + OPI Bring on the Bling = Champagne Nails
I had no idea what colors to do my nails for New Year’s Eve. My go-to nail polish is always black. Black black black. 90% of the time my nails are black - the rest of the time they’re coral or some shade of red. Sometimes I experiment with wilder...

Winter White
December 2010 Blizzard Timelapse from Michael Black on Vimeo.
This morning I had to scrape ice off my car with an old burned CD because I live in Texas and don’t own a windshield scraper thingy. It was cold and I got ice on my hands because I live in Texas so I only own fingerless gloves. I was cold and grumpy and my car wouldn’t warm up, but then I got to work and saw this video...

Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone is tucked away at home with a warm blanket, some hot cocoa and a movie of their choice. In my home it’s been quite the line up over the past 2 days - The Holiday, Home Alone, Home Alone 2 and Titanic!
Hopefully none of you has had to use your present face this year!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! <3

Movie Madness
Winter is the perfect season for movie watching if for no other reason than because there is simply nothing else to do. You can’t go swimming or tanning. You can’t sit outside and drink 99 cent margaritas on the patio. It’s just too cold to do anything besides have luxuriously long days at home with a blanket and a movie which is precisely what I have been doing at every possible...

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Most days I sit down without much to say or write about it seems. Typically my outfits are nothing worth photographing – that’s not to say that the ones that are recorded here are so fantastic, but occasionally I am particularly pleased with a certain pairing and I like to make a note of it. Remember to wear these boots and this shirt together. This coat looks good over this dress. Etc etc...
