Hi lovelies,
I was just the special guest on the Girls on Girls Show and I had a blast chatting with host Ellen Clifford and Jason Stuart during the cocktails segment of the show.
Ellen was kind of enough to create a special signature drink just for me, appropriately entitled, "The Candy Washington."
Watch below for our fun cocktails segment and for the recipe to the yummy, "The Candy Washington," drink. Try out the recipe and let me know what you think!
Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna are quickly becoming style icons, much like their predecessors from Sex And The City. With the HBO premiere having just kicked-off, I wanted to share with you all how to channel your inner GIRL with inspired looks by eShakti.
Her style is quirky, sometimes ill-fitting with lots of whimsical patterns. With eShakti you can opt for a fun pattern to channel your inner Hannah, or avoid her faux pas by making sure clothes are tailored to a flattering fit, no matter your size or shape. Also just like Hannah (and Lena Dunham) eShakti champions real bodies with curves of all sizes, whether you’re a size 0 or 36W!
With her art-curator ambitions, Marnie is all about classic elegance. Look for structured, form-fitting timeless staples to channel this character. And don’t forget your high heels!
When channeling your inner Jessa, the wilder the fashion choice, the better! Some kind of combination of eccentric prints, flowy pieces, flower-power aesthetic should do the trick. Jessa is not one to follow cookie-cutter fashion trends, and with eShakti you too can create your own styles by choosing skirt length, hemline, neckline… for a look that’s truly your own!
Sweet, innocent, preppy Shoshanna. You can never go wrong with pastels and a cute collar dress to replicate Shoshanna’s young style! Luckily, eShakti has options-galore for this look!
I was a huge fan of the first season of HBO's GIRLS and I even had the pleasure of attending a NYLON event featuring Jennifer Rogien, who is the costume director of the show. But I have to admit that the second season lost that special something about being a young 20-something year old young woman trying to come into her own in New York City, and, dare I say it, was trying a bit too hard.
To me, the first season of GIRLS was a breath of fresh air and really spoke to me - I could laugh, cry, and most importantly, I could relate. As almost a prelude to Sex & the City, I found that the show was able to create characters with very unique and distinctive point-of-views (thank you Lena Dunham) but I was still able to find shades of myself within each character. I'm a bit of a neurotic like Hannah and Carrie, a bit of a control freak like Marnie and Miranda, a big dreamer and optimist like Shosannah and Charlotte, and emotionally guarded when it comes to relationships like Jessa and Samantha. But at the core, we are all the same: loyal, fierce, strong, and constantly seeking.
After watching the trailer for season 3, I got super excited for the episodes to come. GIRLS, for the minute and a half that was released in the trailer, seems to have found its way back to its roots that turned me, and millions of other women and men, into the super fan that I was when it first came out of the gate in season 1.
"I hate this. Yeah, but you know what Adam? It's really liberating saying no to sh*t you hate." Amen Hannah, and welcome back.

I swung by the Styld.by event with NYLON + Gap for some yummy ginger beer cocktails, rockin' tunes by DJ Leslie Kirchhoff, racks of the latest denim and fall fashion finds from Gap, a complimentary issue of NYLON with cover girl Alexa Chung, and an awesome Q&A with Jenn Rogien, costumer director of GIRLS and Orange is the New Black moderated by Rachel Wang, the fashion market director for NYLON magazine.
