This fall, the one thing I absolutely, positively cannot live without is...
"Opaque black tights. I'm always cold, so having tights that keep my legs toasty is key for me surviving those long, windy walks to the subway."

My must-have cheap thrill...
"L'Oréal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lash Extension Mascara. It creates these tiny little tubes that coat your lashes and stay on literally all day without smudging. The tubes come off with just soap and water, which makes them look like little lashes when you wash them off. I find that both creepy and oddly comforting."

The latest trick I've picked up from the other R29 editors is...
"Insanely cool nail art. Before I started at R29, I used to think my sloppy attempts at polka dots were the bomb. Then I saw all the crazy, cool, inventive designs that our Global Editor Connie Wang and our Photo Editor Christy Kurtz could do with just a nail polish pen. I'm both humbled and inspired to up my game."

Current food obsession...
"Homemade pizza. I've been stocking up on whole wheat pizza crusts and making every combination imaginable. My favorite right now is pear, proscuitto and goat cheese. Nom, nom, nom!"

The one song I can listen to over and over...and over to is...
"'Home' by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It's such a sweet song, but it's also got a great beat and doesn't get the least bit annoying after repeated listenings."

Next up on my Netflix is...
"'Happy Endings.' I've heard a lot about it being a really funny show, but my DVR has been so full that I haven't been able to fit it into my already jam-packed fall TV viewing schedule. Also, 'Horrible Bosses,' even though I've seen it already. I have an unhealthy obsession with Charlie Day."
