January Must Have: Lustlist

hannah — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:03:54 +0000

I know lust is one of the seven deadly sins, but sometimes it feels good to lust, because it gives you reason to motivate, and make a list, and save accordingly, so you can get a select few items that you know will help make you feel sexy in 2012, in just the right way. This is my lustlist:

Beso Beso Alas Earrings

Girl On A Motorcycle Vivienne Clutch at Telltale Vintage

October Must Have: Words of Wisdom from Christian Dior

hannah — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:45:12 +0000

LA Fashion Week is here, and a lot of people are talking about a lot of things that are the next hot thing. Instead, I want to focus on what Christian Dior (and me) believe to be at the heart of being haute, and it has nothing to do with couture...

Accent: That little personal touch that makes a dress…your own. The accent must always have the touch of your personality… The place you put a clip… The way you tie a bow… How you fold your scarf… The colour you choose for your flower… Elegance: The right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension. ...

August Must Have: White Jeans, The Automat, and Self Love.

Vintage 80s Dress, Purchased at: The Automat

About the time I bought my first pair of white jeans, Grade 8, was about the time I met Aynsley. We immediately bonded on things like Depeche Mode, The Lost Boys, and our distaste for the public school system. Twenty years later, I buy my second pair of white jeans and Aynsley opens her online store: The Automat; a hot new little haven for fine things resurrected from the past. ...

SLH Holiday Girl Night

hannah — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 23:44:47 +0000

I've just decided to do it. I want some more girl time before the holidays tear us apart to various corners of the world. And I hope you can join me. When I threw out the idea on Facebook and Twitter a couple weeks ago, I know some of you suggested we get together at a lounge, but some of you also suggested a boutique so that instead of spending our hard-earned cash on drinks and food we can spend it on ourselves. I really liked that, especially with xmas around the corner... And if you haven't checked out Taylrz Joynt yet, it is sooooo worth the drive to Ventura Blvd. This is one of a handful of stores I hit when I need something sexy, urban, versatile, and for a really great price. So let's get together, drink some wine, girl talk, shop, and discuss Hannah's latest adventures... Date: Friday, December 3rd Time: 7PM to 10PM (or longer...) Location: Taylrz Joynt Boutique; 13549 Ventura Blvd. 91423 RSVP: hannah@sexlifeandhannah.com LADIES ONLY.

May Must Have: The Romper!

hannah — Fri, 07 May 2010 14:54:49 +0000

This girl is effin' awesome. You know when you meet someone and you just click, you feel like you've known them for years, the conversation flows...this is my new friend Sasha Jones. And I love her name. In fact I might steal that name for a new character in the next Sex, Life, & Hannah book.

Anyway, a couple weeks back I asked my Facebook peeps what the MUST HAVE for May is, and Sasha jumped in with: ROMPERS! rompers, rompers, rompers!

I asked her to expand on that...

My April Wishlist: Wedges, bright prints, and feathers.

hannah — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:04:22 +0000

To be honest, I got a little help this month from one of my Facebook fans--you guys rock! But I love the direction it put my mind in...the espadrille wedge. Of course. And I love animal prints, so this "Tigresse" by Christian Louboutin is right up my alley. And I am totally down with a knock-off:)...

From Sex, Life, & Hannah::Volume 1, Winter Season (Chapter 2: Breaking Up With Bad Habits) Ireland and I are shopping for another pair of shoes (it’s a chick thing—not a bad habit). My morning ice cream buzz is wearing off and I am starting to feel anxious. I haven’t confronted Ireland about her visit with Jack yet, and I’m confused about why I’m feeling territorial over the whole thing anyway. And I’m really starting to worry that this break-up really is the last. He has never denied me sex! Suddenly I’m freaking out over everything that’s happening around me: The break-up and whether or not it could have been avoided had I been drinking a hot drink versus a cold drink, or had I intentionally spilled it all over his crotch instead of the floor. The possibility that two of my best friends could be starting some torrid affair that could lead to them getting married, running away to some tropical island, and procreating until their family represents half the population, leaving me to grow old alone, bitter, and decrepit, fighting for enough space on the sidewalk to fit my walker. I’m having a severe moment of weakness and want to call The Ex to work things out. Ireland takes a pack of cigarettes out of her purse. “What’s wrong with you? You look like you ate shit this morning.” I put down the pair of white heels I’m considering. “I feel nauseous.” I walk out of the store. Ireland follows me out and lights a cigarette. “Over the price, or the relationship?” I give Ireland a what-the-fuck-do-you-think look. “I need a cigarette.” “You don’t smoke.” “Neither do you.” I grab her pack of cigarettes. ...

Chapter 2: Breaking Up With Bad Habits

hannah — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:10:29 +0000

Sex, Life, & Hannah::Volume 1, Winter Season (Chapter 2) CHAPTER 2: BREAKING UP WITH BAD HABITS. I’m on my couch, flipping through a “chick mag,” eating Brazilian Acai Berry Sorbet Häagen-Dazs. I’m reading an article about ten things not to do after your boyfriend dumps you. It’s about what so many seriously co-dependent, emotionally unstable women digress to whenever a relationship goes sour: They start eating dessert all day; or drinking their favorite cocktail all night; or having pointless sex with pointless men; or running up credit cards with irrational wardrobe purchases; or chain-smoking; or incessantly calling their ex-boyfriends to try to work things out. Things I would never do. I scoop a spoonful of sorbet out of the pint in my hand. Thank god I have no bad habits, I think, biting at the hangnail on my pinky finger. It starts to bleed. Okay, none that are really bad. Unless I’m under the influence of pissed off. Or totally depressed. Or sometimes bored. And definitely if I’m at some pretentious and superfluous Hollywood party. But seriously-I am in total control of my environment. I shake an aspirin out of the bottle sitting on my coffee table.
