It’s time to split. We’ve been together nearly a year, and it’s been a mostly good year, but I’m tired. Now I know there are people out there who can juggle multiples, switching things up at whim, and there are those people who can stay with one ’til death. I suppose I’m something

Kourtney Anderson took a minute to flaunt her stuff in between sips of wine at the Pacific Grill’s Saturday night “Taste” wine tasting. She commented that the sweater/shirt/tank combo was “stolen from some slaughterhouse somewhere” — potentially the items were borrowed from friends. Her Guess? Sweater is the only big-brand
