New Post: Sunday Jam x Mr. Men | A Modern Girl

https://amoderngirl.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/mr-men-little-miss-do-harajuku

I've been having some awesome bookish adventures lately. One of the reasons I love my annual reading challenge is that it keeps me much more plugged in to what people are writing and reading these ...

New Post: Sonoma Getaway Weekend | A Modern Girl -

One of the big perks of living in Berkeley is easy access to wine country. I've taken pretty good advantage of the situation in past years--I get up to Napa 3-4 times per year and usually maintain several club memberships in various local wineries. It makes for a fabulous day trip. How often do you go to the grocery store or wine shop and take a gamble on a bottle of wine whose contents are a total mystery to you? [ 1133 more words. ]

Lost in the Archives: 10 Albums I Enjoyed in 2010 http://wp.me/pDEya-d8

Every year, a recurring item on my list of New Year’s resolutions is “make a year-end music list.” Unfortunately, this just never seems to happen. Though I do better in some years than in others, I never seem to have the time to listen to all of the major releases in a given calendar year and critically evaluate them. I wrote those words in 2010, apparently, and they're still as true today as they were 5 years ago. [ 367 more words. ]

New Post: A Modern Girl's Year in Blogging: 2014 Edition| A Modern Girl -

Every year, the WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepare an annual report for all of their blogs, which makes it a great time to reflect on the year gone by. It was a pretty slow year for A Modern Girl in terms of new content, but I was happy to see that people were still dropping by, resulting in a total of about 33,000 views. [ 208 more words. ]

New Post: It's Bloggiesta Time (Again)! | A Modern Girl -

I don't know about you folks, but my 2015 is off to a running start! One of my New Year's resolutions is to try and deliver more consistent content here at A Modern Girl, so I'm taking part in the Winter 2015 Mini Bloggiesta. What is Bloggiesta? For the uninitiated, Bloggiesta is a blogging marathon revolving around ticking off those items on your to-do list and improving your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing.

New Post: Stars & Sweets: Milky Way Cafe, Ikebukuro | A Modern Girl - http://wp.me/pDEya-TB

As I mentioned in my last post about cat cafes, I returned to Tokyo this past summer for another round of research, which meant... more visits to my favorite Tokyo eateries and introductions to some great new ones as well! Any of you who've been to Tokyo know that its cafes often feature a fabulous mix of cuteness and sugar. [ 424 more words. ]

New Post: Reliving Childhood Dreams at The Last Unicorn Tour | A Modern Girl - http://wp.me/pDEya-U8

If you were a kid in the 1980s, you probably watched the animated version of The Last Unicorn at some point. Maybe at several points. Maybe over and over again until not only you but also your parents could recite portions of it from memory. The Last Unicorn was definitely a staple in my childhood home, and I've introduced a few uninitiated folks to it over the years.

New Post: My 2014 in Books | A Modern Girl - http://wp.me/pDEya-TR

Hello, faithful readers! My sincere apologies for the hiatus--2014 has come and gone, and it was a very busy and not entirely positive year, so I didn't have a lot of time for blogging. I am hoping to turn many things around in 2015, so let's get things off to a running start with the results of my 4th annual reading challenge! [ 608 more words. ]
