  • A Case For Nicole Warne*

    A Case For Nicole Warne*

    He doesn’t know what a Gary Pepper Girl is. He’s not quite sure what part of the world she hails from. He couldn’t tell you what her name is if his life depended on it. But whenever Nicole Warne’s gorgeous face flashes across the screen on my laptop (while we’re laying in bed watching yet…

  • Uniform.

    Uniform.

    Lately, I’ve been craving a uniform. Mostly because figuring out what to wear every morning has gotten slightly out of control. I’ve tried to put outfits together the night before and yenno, it’s just not for me. So I thought a uniform would work. I don’t mean wearing the exact same thing every day (shout…

  • date night.

    date night.

    Yong and I live together. Commute to work together. Are usually in some sort of communication throughout the day (AIM, WhatsApp, texting, etc) when we’re not physically together. Its not a hard-set rule, not a trust issue. Just something that came about from how our relationship formed. We like it, it works. The day it…

  • Bleak.

    Bleak.

    Got to take my camera out with the boys and do a small “photoshoot” (read: they talked, I shot) for a style article on how to stay relatively warm and maintain your style for Romero Brooks. They need to get more comfortable switching up their poses and I need to get more comfortable with giving…

  • work&play day.

    work&play day.

    Peplum tops and magenta-colored trousers. Staples? Maybe not for everyone but I wouldn’t mind adding them to my arsenal. Currently my commute leaves me completely drained when I get home. Cook? Clean? Ugh, how about a nap instead? Nevermind falling asleep randomly around the car/house when I get home (don’t worry, we carpool), an invite…

  • studded.

    Everyone’s favorite basic sandal from Zara is back with slight modifications. Sporting a chunkier heel and *gasp* studs! I, for one, purchased immediately. Considering I couldn’t ever find the original basic sandal in my size I just couldn’t pass this up.

  • farmer’s market.

    If you’ve never attended your local farmer’s market, you really don’t know what you’re missing. The atmosphere, the weather (in LA), the food and a great date is just something I can’t turn down too often. Unless of course I’m experiencing the various unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages. Not that this…

  • sunday brunch.

    I was never really the brunch-type (if there is a such a thing). Mostly because I’m not really a morning person. Until we discovered Bottega Louie in Downtown LA (which I’ve mentioned a couple of times before). Below is my “all I have to do today is look good & enjoy brunch” outfit. The heels…

  • workaholic.

    workaholic.

    I’m sure I’m in the minority when I say I’ve always wanted to work somewhere with a strict business dress code. What I really mean is I’d like to “have to” wear pumps on the regular. I’ve always obsessed over admired professional women that can take “business attire” and put a creative spin on it.…
