A Few of my Favourite Things

Here are my top 5 favourite things of the moment.

5. Scrubs - I love how we're in the age of actual funny stuff on Comedy Central. As a child who was too cynical to hang out with the neighborhood kids, I spent my summers indoors watching Mystery Science Theater, Benny Hill, Kids in the Hall, and Absolutely Fabulous. Between then and now, Comedy Central stopped being funny and boring stand-up shows prevailed. Well, today, among high-larious shows like Drawn Together and Reno-911, they've started showing Scrubs. I hate Zach Braff, but I LOVE this show.

4. Silky Smooth - THE BEST ice cream in LA, even if it is in a mall. And they advertise that it's 40% less fat than regular ice cream, and that's good enough for me!

3. Sequins - I want to fill my wardrobe with sequins. Sequins are so glam, they can make any girl feel like the most fabulous in the room. From black sheath dresses from FCUK, to gold striped MaxMara shifts, to multi-colored vintage Emilio Pucci, sequins are are the new black.

2. The Duel - Such a guilty pleasure. I have always, always been a sucker for Real World/Road Rules challenges. This is the best one yet. It makes me anticipate Thursdays the way The OC used to.

1. Sielian's Vintage Apparel - This adorable boutique has given me the pleasure of naming LA the vintage mecca of the US (sorry, New York, you're old news). The owner, Sielian Lie, has a true gift for finding vintage frocks that might as well have been designed by Lagerfeld himself (Chloe, circa 1970s). Not only is she the sweetest boutique owner you've ever met, but her dresses are priced from $60-$300--very reasonable considering they are one of a kind and in pristine condition. I'm looking forward to frequenting this place. I've already divulged the name of the store--she told me the best day to come, but I think I will keep that my own little secret.
