Even though I am Jewish, Christmas is still my favorite holiday. Why? Because it allows me to catch up on fun things like blog posts. It is the only day of the year that I have absolutely no obligations because obviously no one is working (yay! no e-mails) and all of my friends are busy with their families. It is so nice.
I have a confession: I have lived in Austin for over 2 years, and until last weekend, I had never shopped at two of Austin’s vintage staples: Blue Velvet and Room Service. They are

December 21, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionAs with everything in my life, there is always a story. Here is the story about my hair. I swear finding a good hair stylist is harder than finding a soul mate. Or maybe I was just majorly spoiled because I had the best hairstylist EVER in NYC. No matter what crazy hairstyle I wanted, she had no problem making it happen.
Since moving to Austin, one of my biggest complaints is that there are A LOT of hair salons, but not many great stylists. Total white girl problem, I know.

December 20, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionI am a trend chaser. Wait, is that a real phrase or did I make that up? When it comes to clothes, I always must have the weird, new things that no one else wants because they will be out of style in like a month.
I have been eying various pairs of wedge sneakers for a good 6 months now. However, I just didn’t really want to spend tons of money on them. Well, lucky for me, the pair I wanted from Target, went on sale for $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like I had won the lottery. Side note: if

My mission to decorate my new apartment with the most kitschy, random stuff ever took me on a little adventure to the flea market in Leander, a 20 minute drive from Austin.
Leander is stereotypical Texas: there are a lot of churches and an abundance of fields with cows. It is charming.
I decided to check it out because I noticed that some of the vendors were posting really cool pieces on Craigslist. I am glad I ventured out there because the Leander Flea Market is a wonderfully strange, yet awesome place.
Typically at a flea market, each

December 13, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionAdmittedly, It was WAYYYY too cold to be wearing this outfit. If it is 30 degrees outside, don’t wear cutoff shorts. But hello, this is Texas, and I am supposed to be able to shorts all year around.
 These shorts are the only DIY project that I have ever successfully completed. I always wanted a good pair of cutoffs, but the ones they sell in stores are SO freakin’ short. No one wants to see that.
Thus, I decided to take a trip to Goodwill, find some

December 9, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionOkay, I was pretty excited when Old Navy sent me these Coated-Wash Super Skinny Jeans. They are awesome, and in the last 2 weeks or so, I have worn them at least 5 times. I feel like they add a little bit of edge to any outfit.
The first time I wore them was on a random adventure into the country. Okay, it isn’t really the country because we were still in Austin, but with all the Fall foliage, I felt like I was miles away from the city.

December 7, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionI am not a big drinker. In fact, I rarely have any type of alcohol. I don’t really have a reason for why. It is just as I get older, I have just become really lame. Not to mention, hangovers at 26 are beyond brutal. However, I made a rule for myself that I have to get drunk once every 6-8 weeks because, look, I am not 90. I am still young, and let’s be real: the crazy nights that you reminisce about about with friends for years usually involve some alcohol.
The point of that whole spiel was to

December 5, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionYesterday, my friend posted a BuzzFeed article on my Facebook wall: “26 Problems Only Anxious People Will Understand“. I can basically relate to everything on this list, which is sad. My anxiety has been especially high over the past week because I finally moved into a real adult apartment. Yes, I upgraded from my tiny studio to a one bedroom. I know, I am movin’ on up in the world.
While I am totally obsessed with my new apt, it is a bit stressful because I still have boxes everywhere, and I feel like my whole life is

November 27, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionI am usually not a big fan of clothes with graphics on them; I am more of a solid kinda gal. However, when I saw this shirt from Eyes on Walls, I was pretty excited about it.
This particular shirt is part of The Brooklyn Collection, which is inspired by the “intersection of fashion and street art found in the area.” The shirt features Lora Zombie’s popular piece ‘Big Bang Kiss’.
 At first when I was trying to decide what to pair the shirt
