7 Reasons Why Wet Republic Is The Best Vegas Pool Party

3 Comments

As most of you know, Hamptons to Hollywood embarked on its first Vegas excursion a few weekends ago. BEST.TIME.EVER. Whilst in the famed party town, I was able to attend the Wet Republic Pool Party, which, in my opinion, is THE BEST Vegas Pool Party. Why you ask? Let me illustrate… 1. You Meet A Ton of New Friends I think I left Vegas with at least 10 new phone numbers that weekend, a majority of them from the pool. Wet Republic brings everyone together because as we know, alcohol is a great equalizer, making everyone from all walks of life, drunken bafoons. The aura and energy of their pool party though is so infectious it makes you want to share your revelry and fun with everyone around you. You’ll meet people from across the country and bond over vodka red bulls. And so what if you forget their names?…

Diary of a Vegas Virgin – Part 2

No Comments

Ah yes, now where did we leave off? Oh, right. So, Kate and Kyle headed back up to the room for a little rest and when Jon and I looked across the pool at the other row of tables across from us, we saw none other than the one and only Panda; Enrique. Enrique is our friend from LA who’s just about the nicest, most, fun and wildest you can ever meet. Jon and I headed over to his table, became friendly with Enrique’s friend Ray, and even fell in love with our bottle server, Suzanne, who was the BEST. After our livers had reached their temporary limit, we exited the Wet Republic party and headed back to the hotel room to briefly decompress. Afterward, while Kyle and Kate bounced over to the Dada Life show, Jon and I headed over to STK, which was just as fun as its…

Which Romantic Comedy Are You?

4 Comments

Admittedly, I think “romantic comedy” is one of the best movie genres out there. I mean, they’re classics, really, and not just reserved for all-female slumber parties or eating pints of Ben & Jerry’s after a break-up. When Harry Met Sally, Annie Hall, Silver Linings Playbook – the list goes on and on. But which rom-com are YOU?1. Do you love to banter with your potential flame? Do you hate them, then love them, but then ultimately find friendship and comfort in being in their company? Has it always seemed like its been up and down and you’ve been playing this head-game with each other for YEARS?Then you’re clearly Harry and Sally. You might discuss your varying ideas about life and love and how you behave in relationships, even when the other person thinks your completely batshit crazy and wrong. But somehow, no matter what, you always fall for that…

Emotional Speedball

No Comments

This is a special quote that really speaks to me, transcribed word for word, from a film that I enjoy. Any haters might know it as “Witty, Privileged White Lady Travels The World”, but I like to think of it as a movie that kinda changed my life; Eat Pray Love. Thought it might inspire. I mean, the metaphor, guys. The metaphor…”It begins when the object of your affection, bestows upon you a heady, hallucinogenic dose of something you never even dared to admit you wanted. An emotional speed ball of thunderous love and excitement. Soon you start craving that attention with the hungry obsession of any junkie. When it’s withheld, you turn sick, crazy, not to mention resentful of the dealer who encouraged this addiction in the first place, but now, refuses to pony up the good stuff.”God damn him. And he used to give it to you for…

6 Things Roses Say About You

2 Comments

The most hotly debated, love-it-or-hate-it holiday is nearly upon us – Valentine’s Day. Either you love or hate this one, but despite your feelings about it, it’s undeniable that roses are synonymous with the day. So what do they say about YOU?Maybe roses are your favorite flower? If you like receiving them on special days, there’s a few things that a rose can illustrate about your personality…1. You Are A Face Among Many, But Blossom On Your Own:Roses are grown on shrubs – even the word “shrub” just kinda seems, well, blah. Not very sexy. However, when roses are removed from their shrubs, their true beauty can be appreciated. Long, slender stems, lovely layers of petals – what’s not to love when you have a single rose all to yourself?2. You’re Beautiful:”Oh, stop!” you must be saying to yourself with a sly smile. But it’s true. Whether or not you…

2014: Year In Review

No Comments

2014 was one of my favorite years. It was filled with AMAZING things, horrible things, and things that just plain changed my life. Every year I like to acknowledge who it was in that year that changed my life for the better and made me happy. So here it goes…This is such a cliche, and I know you’ve all heard it many times, and I had no idea Marilyn Monroe was such a fucking philosopher, but the best way I can sum up my year is from this quote of hers: “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”1. My Writer’s GroupEver since my…

5 Things To Do When Friends Come To Visit

No Comments

When you live in a different city than where you grew up, it’s always fun when friends come to visit. Here’s my guide on the best activities to do on such occasions… My friend, Lauren, is one of my best. We’ve known each other for YEARS and YEARS, our families are friends, we went through high school together, and we’ve remained tight ever since. Lauren also gets mad kudos because she is one of the few friends of mine that has come to visit me every single year that I’ve lived in California full time. One of those visits may have been because of a work trip, but whatever, I’m totally counting it. This weekend Laur was in town again to take in the LA sights and one of the reasons she’s the best visitor is because she’s always down to do something new, fun, and exciting. Who wouldn’t want…

East Meets West Bedroom Make Over

1 Comment

CONFESSION OF A TWENTY-SOMETHING BACHELOR: I’ve been sleeping in a twin bed for the past three years. BUT, I’ve upgraded! And here’s how you can too! Soon I’d like to have a category on this site, called “Furnishings” most likely, where I can expand the Hamptons to Hollywood lifestyle brand into interior tips from Euro Painting on how to make your home casual, luxurious, and fun, like all things H2H stands for. SO here is the start of it; I gave my LA bedroom a makeover.  First I started with the bed frame bought from mattress store located in Raleigh, NC- the one I had before was this metal apparatus that was functional, but kind of an eyesore, and as I’m growing older I’m kinda over the whole “cheap-is-the-best-way-to-go” option. Remember the post-college days when you used to mount your TV to the wall with just some duct tape and…

4 Steps On: How To Name Your Blog

No Comments

I recently had the opportunity to write a guest article for Bastion & Co.; How To Name Your Blog. Suits me, no?I am often asked by aspiring bloggers who are just starting out what to entitle their blog.

Well, here’s the thing, kids – blog naming is a tricky business because you want it to be meaningful, you want it to last (for years, hopefully), and you want it to be catchy enough that it sounds cool for readers to remember so they keep coming back.{READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE}

How To Pack Your Ho-Bag

3 Comments

When you’re in your twenties, you’re probably going to be shacking up at someone else’s pad every now and then (or every other night, depending on your sex drive), so it’s important to prepare for such nocturnal excursions. Here’s a list of essentials to pack in your ho-bag.And you thought a ho-bag was just another derogatory name for some slutty person. HA! WRONG. Let’s take a sec and think about the genesis of the phrase: a “thirsty” person, who was smart enough to plan ahead, probably brought along a bag of tricks so they didn’t look like a hot little mess doing the walk of shame the next morning. Thus, the ho brought a bag with them; ergo, ho-bag.But what should you pack in yours??1. Pack for At Least 2 Days: It’s important to remember, when packing your ho-bag, that you may give into temptation or spontaneity and want to…

Summer Reflection

No Comments

This summer was one of the best of my life. Not only did I make a plethora of new friends, I also kicked my blog into high-gear on a professional level and launched a bunch of exciting projects that I am super thankful and proud to be a part of. It was definitely a work-hard, play-hard season.And yet, while I only have fond memories since Memorial Day, some of the most horrible things happened to me. I lost a friend, my apartment was destroyed in a flood, I broke my foot, my car died, and someone smashed the shit out of my brand new car. But it just goes to show that no matter how badly life can seem, the good always outweighs the bad in the end. Call it the power of positive thinking, call it being optimistic, but I finally feel comfortable and genuinely happy to be where…
