Let’s get one thing clear – each birthday is a GIFT. None of this “it’s so sad, I’m another year older” BS. The preciousness of birthdays was ground into me during my twenties, during which I lost a good friend suddenly at the age of 26, three of my mentors to cancer, and I myself […]
One of my college friends, Megan, celebrated her birthday on the fourth so I drove up to Sacramento to have dinner with her and friends! We managed to snap some photos of this tiger print getup at my vanity before the 2 hour drive – so here we go. This outfit was a bit of […]
Last Friday, I experienced the perfect confluence of crisp, white pieces in one of my favorite outfits to date. Did it result in me looking like Keanu Reeves at an all white party in Miami? Did my mother text me to make sure I was wearing underpants under that short dress? Yes and yes. I […]
Another day of LA Fashion Week, another reason to dress UP! I am gradually succumbing to fall and, you know, wearing clothes for a change. The thing that hooked me and is beginning to change my grinch-like destain for the season are all the marvelous fabrics and textures that we wear in the cold. Enter: […]
There’s a lot happening in this outfit from the second night of Los Angeles Fashion Week, and yet it came together so simply. Most notable – and the one I’m sure to get the most grief about from my sister – is the fanny pack. I refuse to call it a “belt bag” like a […]
I am back in the Bay and rested up after last week in LA! I’ll be sharing more in a video coming soon, fingers crossed, but for now I wanted to post my OOTN (outfit of the night) for the first evening. It was the official opening of LAFW, and I assumed – thankfully, rightfully […]
I almost titled this something lame like, “How to Look Taller,” or, “Tips for a Petite Frame,” or, “How to Dress Up When Everyone Else is Looking Down at You,” but there is something just too medicinal about those. Condescending, even. Haven’t we all heard the “short girl rules” before? At least I have – […]
This weekend was the semi-annual Fashion Community Week here in San Francisco – and you know what that means: runway shows. And you know what runway shows mean: free rein to dress however your little heart desires. For me, at least for the first night, I wanted to do a full-out wet look. Oh yes. […]
Last Friday, I was invited to an event to celebrate the release of Coach’s Fall collection at their store in downtown San Francisco – and let me tell you, it was a blast. So much so that when I went to write this post, it became so long that I had to divide it into […]
Today’s offering is a mini-post of sorts, since next week kicks off Fashion Month and it’s going to be very content-heavy (who’s excited?!? Moi!). So let’s get to it: May I recommend Nicholas maxi dresses? Hear me out. Last week, my mom and stepdad were in town, which meant lots of delicious family dinners and […]
