I don't wish you the best.

To my former lover, I hope that you spend the rest of your life in good company, surrounded by people who care about you. I know someday you'll have a wife and children. I bet your future wife is pretty and won't divorce you and that your children will be healthy and athletic. I wish you good health and a long life. I hope you avoid jail time and genital herpes. I want you to experience adventure, and do things you never thought you would.…

Let's Photoshop The Beauty Standard.

When Myspace was at its peak, the number of comments someone received on a picture could be used to measure their popularity. Our layouts implied a level of creativity and our music selection an indication of our "style." Tom retired, Myspace lost its appeal, and the HxC let go of that part of their identity. We moved our attention to Facebook, and for a while it wasn't the most superficial network; just a tool used for communication and amateur stalking.…

We're All Heartbroken Here.

We need to talk. You've been compromising your happiness for consistency. You fear if you leave you'll realize you made a mistake, lose the one you love, and be labeled "the bad guy." Despite any prior occurrences that would place blame on him/her; you know you'll be taking on the role of the villain. You consider the option of turning back, changing your mind, and settling for a bit longer. Why break a heart? Especially if that heart is yours.  You ask…

20 Moments where Chrissy Teigen Was Your Best Friend.

Here at Sparkles & Secrets (Mackenzie's couch) we love Chrissy Teigen. This bad bitch isn't afraid to speak her mind, take off her clothes, and be her unapologetic self.     1.) Only a few years of my life have been fucked up by social media I cannot IMAGINE those younger than me — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 30, 2014 2.) saying you like nutella is saying you like pizza or frosting. of course you like it. it's pizza. or…

Kate Spade Sale: THIS WEEKEND @ Newbury Street

This weekend (friday-sunday) at 117 Newbury Street, Kate Spade will be having a 30% off friends and family sale! If you're still looking for the perfect fall/winter bag, or sassy statement necklace-- look no further.

Why pay full price when you can get a family discount?

Stop Talking About Feminism.

Attention WORLD: lets stop talking about feminism! Enough is enough, and debating the legitimacy of the movement is giving me a headache. I'll just dump my coffee on the next male who tells me that he was born to be a CEO and I a secretary. I'll attribute his misogyny to an uneducated parental figure. "THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR A FEMALE PRESIDENT," said the bro who is entirely unaware that women have held presidential positions (in other countries) for…

Deception, Online Dating, and "I hope he doesn't murder me."

I've always taken a ballsy approach to online dating. If I have a gut-instinct that the guy I'm taking to isn't the Craigslist killer or a "stage 5 clinger", I'll accept the free drink offer and give him an honest chance. Although I have yet to have a serious relationship with someone I've met over the internet, it isn't something I'm opposed to. A few week ago a video called "Fat Girl Tinder Date" went viral. If you haven't seen the video, the…

Date An "Undateable" Girl

There are few things I hate more than "articles" on the internet telling men which women are worthy of being in an exclusive relationship. Maybe you should "date a girl who travels", but few of us have the financial capability to live like a gypsy in Europe. Seeking out a girl who reads/writes is only good if you're looking for definitive proof she graduated elementary school. If you search "date a girl who" on Thought Catalog, you'll have a reading list…

Why The F*CK Do We Still Shop at Urban Outfitters?

When word got out that former Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries' goal was to market clothing only to the "cool and attractive" buyer, the world laughed in unison as we watched Abercrombie fail as a company. We were 'over' the moose. It was easy for us to boycott a company we didn't care about; just as it would would require no effort to ignore someone we don't speak to anyways. The Salon Magazine article was published in 2006, when Abercrombie was still poppin' (collars),…

Crying vs Buying: Raspberry Handbags.

Looking for a colorful handbag that won't go out of season? Well, fortunately I did all the work for you. I'm currently *obsessed* with the raspberry Alexander Wang shoulder bag which is the bag in the direct center of this post. Unfortunately, an $800 handbag isn't realistic for all of us; which is why I did the math for you. Introducing "Crying vs Buying" raspberry bag edition, ranging from Valentino (top left) at $2,500 to YesStyle (bottom right) at $83. Xo.…
