I have long been a fan of the website designspongeonline.com, which is run by a super-cool chick named Grace Bonney, whom I interviewed for my book Practically Posh. I always visit the site for inspiration, and recently have fallen in love with their paper section, particularly a company called Eieio Studio that makes the raddest gift wrap paper.
Totally inspired, [...]

I am on a crazy Mexican food kick, which shouldn’t be weird, as I AM Mexican, but I think I have eaten some sort of taco like five days in a row. To change things up a bit, I am going to share a recipe my friend Kevin Williamson of Ranch 6161 in Austin (holla!) [...]

High fashion met street style at the Givenchy mens wear show in Milan this weekend, with models rocking designer duds and Latino-inspired buzzcuts. As a Latina, I’ve sooo seen this look, usually rocked with a gold link chain, but it’s kinda awesome to see it coming down a runway.

Now I have [...]

I, as most Latinas, have an annoying affliction called Melasma, which means I get brown spots on my face whenever the rays are rockin’. While this condition has hormonal triggers, many women experience this while pregnant, the [...]

 
What the F**k is wrong with this chick? Apparently, she loves swine so much she made a dress out of it. Her flesh-tastic creation is made out of sheets of salami and bacon that she layered over a thick cotton shift dress and covered with vinyl. She sewed trim along the edges to catch any [...]

So on my fave site The Frisky, my friend Jess wrote about how some BRILLIANT person on Etsy is selling kitty ties! Next to that cat playing the keyboards, this is the hottest thing to happen to the feline community. You can buy your meow-meow a tie here, so they can look swell at your [...]

So the weather is kicking and I am in the mood to partay! But why spend a lot of dough in a swank restaurant, when I can easily entertain in the comfort of my own pad? My pal Kevin Williamson, owner of Ranch 616 in Austin, Texas, showed me the easiest dinner recipe ever - [...]
