    Gimme a sec.

    I’m hoping within the next few weeks I’ll be able to give a complete tour of the living room. I’ve decided to concentrate on one room at a time, so I can actually see the progress instead of having this overwhelming feeling of nothing getting done. Above: IKEA Expedit Bookcase ($39) hung on the wall,…

  • photo diary: DYS

    days spent: driving. commuting. working. drinking wine by candlelight. becoming a christmas decorating lunatic. deciding never to throw a NYE party again. loving. living. buying home decor. making my house a home. wearing my favorite clothing items despite their imperfections. praying. and trying. what have you been up to?

  • Festive Much?

    Festive Much?

    this year would be the first time p and myself will be visiting my mother’s home for the holidays. i warned her that my mother was quite the celebratory person when it comes to christmas, but i’m pretty sure she thought i was exaggerating. until we showed up to pick up the x-mas tree and…

Going to be embracing all the dark/black clothing I already own. I’ll, also, be stocking up on thick opaque tights, paired with open toed heels ala Miroslava Duma. As far…

  • Driving in Leopard

    shoes: calvin klein, jeans: levi’s deconstructed 501s Finally found a pair of leopard driving shoes I’m in love with, just had to look in the men’s section to find them. I was worried about the fit since some reviews claimed they fit true to size and others advised sizing down. Since my size wasn’t available…

  • Fall-ing Forward

    I can’t even begin to explain how ready I am for Fall. I’m completely in love with the gloomy weather LA’s been experiencing these past couple days and I’m hoping its not just a tease. If you were raised anywhere where the climate going below 40º was a normal occurrence then an LA fall/winter will…
