  • BGG Boutique Spotlight: LIVE! On Sunset + Exclusive 15% Discount

    A girl cannot live on Forever21 alone. As amazing as the mega-chain's designer knock-offs can be, some occasions, like meeting your ex's new girlfriend or 'accidentally' running into that guy you've been drunk-texting for the la... more

  • Exclusive BGG Deal: The Braid Bar

    When left to our own devices, the most impressive thing we can do with our hair is to keep it looking brushed.  Accordingly, our hair is the one thing we do not DIY but rather outsource, particularly when special events are involved (and by sp... more

  • Eat Your Veggies: Get Slim & Healthy with Gobble Green

    Even though I like Brussels sprouts about a thousand times more than I did when I was five, I still have trouble fitting them--and other veggies--into my diet.  Since my daily dose of green M&M's doesn't quite count towards the dai... more

  • Summer Getaway: Portland

    One of the few affordable luxuries that living in SoCal provides is the abundance of (relatively) cheap getaway destinations in close proximity; however, there are only so many times we can do Vegas and Palm Springs, where the gratuitous amounts of... more

  • Best of the Broke: July

    Luckily for all of us, this July wasn’t just about fretting over the debt ceiling or fearing Car-meh-geddon.  This month, we brought you ways to beat the heat, such as a sunny, luxurious day trip to Malibu (no beach house necessary), or ... more

  • Let Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop Liven Up Your Lunchbox

    We all know how easy it is to fall into the dreaded lunchtime rut which, given lunch is more or less the highlight of the workday, can be pretty depresssing.  The lame options at the cafe next door to your office inevitably get old before you&... more

  • BGG Exclusive Discount: ShoeDazzle

    We’d shoe-shop more often, but we don’t particularly love parking on level 438902483902 at The Grove, dodging trolleys to get to Nordstrom, and then fighting teenage girls for the attention of frazzled salesclerks who, you can only imag... more

  • Free Dance Classes, Sans Humiliation

  • BGG Stylist Obsession: 365 Hangers

    The whole practice of using size 0 women to model clothing is fatally flawed. Of course that dress looks amazing on Kate Moss -- she'd look good in a garbage bag.  And then there's the whole "but, I have double D's, and there's... more

  • Fall Hair Makeover Tips from a Pro

    We may have mentioned before that we’re a hot mess when it comes to making our hair look presentable.  Once, a stylist even gasped in horror as we walked through the door and said, “You actually go out in public like that?” &... more

    We love December.  We love it for all of the obvious reasons (back-to-back holidays, gingerbread lattes...), but we also love it because it’s the one time of year we don’t feel guilty about spending a lot of time shopping.  To... more

  • BGG Weekender

    We’re having some trouble focusing these days, as all we can think about is our upcoming South American adventure, which will be the first real vacation we’ve taken since 2009.  We’ll be sure to document (lies -- we plan to t... more

  • NYE Looks from 365Hangers + Special BGG Discount

  • BGG Weekender + Bottomless Mimosa Brunch, Part 2

  • $15 Blowouts + Hair Help from Heavenly Stylists

    We could make a lot of jokes about the name of our new favorite place to get a blowout, Blow Angels.  However, we're obviously more mature than that (ahem) and will do our best to refrain in favor of sharing with you some much-needed ... more

  • So Long, Disposable Fashion. Hello, StyleSaint!

    It's hardly a secret that we adore shops like Nasty Gal, Forever 21, H&M, etcetera. However, it does seem unfair to us that just because we can’t afford to spend $400 on a dress, we’re somewhat forced to buy things that fall apa... more
