Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
I had a lovely conversation with a recent L.A. import last night. She was concerned about all the typical things recent L.A. imports worry about: will I meet normal people? will I find work? if I don’t find work, will I want to leave? But then she asked me something that struck me as far more mature than the things most recent L.A. imports – …
A road trip is not just an affordable way to get from point A to point B while seeing various sights. It’s also a way to test the limits of your relationship inside a confined space while eating trail mix and listening to podcasts. R and I recently took the famously (and actually) awesome Route 1 up the California coast to our friends’ wedding outside …
When I used to tell people that I had never been to Las Vegas they would say, “how could you of all people have never been to Vegas??” I used to be offended by this statement, but after my very first 30 hour trip to the City of Sin, I am honored. VEGAS IS AWESOME. It’s opulent but cheesy. It’s relaxing but completely frenetic. You …
As of this past weekend, I have lived in Los Angeles for two years; two whole years ago I wrote this love letter to New York City from my one-way Virgin America flight to LAX. I both cannot believe it’s been that long, and cannot believe how quickly the time has flown. I also still cannot believe I actually went through with it. A week …
My parents are coming to LA for a visit this week. During their time here I will attempt to convince them of the following: That I can feed myself inside my house without the aid of a restaurant delivery man. That Los Angeles is a very safe place, superior in many ways to all other places I have lived, not including – of course – …
R and I will be spending this Memorial Day weekend here in Los Angeles. In honor of this vacation in our own city – sorry, why use five words when you can use one, and it can be as adorbs as STAYCATION! – I’ve decided we should throw ourselves the most cliched L.A. weekend non-getaway possible. I love a plan. I love a plan with …
–> As you read this, I am on a beach in Puerto Rico with five of my best girlfriends from college. I am openly bragging about the glory that is this trip for the sake of girl-groups everywhere who make an effort to keep in touch as well as we do, and treat themselves to a vacation as often as they can. It is wildly …
I rarely dole out straight advice on topics unrelated to fashion (fyi, you need tangerine orange harem pants for Summer), but I actually believe I have something constructive to say on the topic of traveling with a significant other. R and I just got back from a trip to New Orleans in which we spent 18-hour days enduring 200% humidity with zero knowledge of the …
I’m three days late and so many dollars short, but below are the results from my New York trip bucket list. Enjoy! I’m back in New York for a hot minute right now for a combo business/family holiday trip.As those of you who have been reading this blog since its B.C. (before California) era know, I have an unreasonable love-affair with Manhattan. I believe it …
I’m back in New York for a hot minute right now for a combo business/family holiday trip. As those of you who have been reading this blog since its B.C. (before California) era know, I have an unreasonable love-affair with Manhattan. I believe it is the greatest city in the world. I believe it was wildly defining to my life. Here, by way of one …
