Woohoo, it’s Monday and time for another interview! Angeline at The New Professional has been a source of inspiration when it comes to looking good at the office. Located in Davis, CA, I’ve felt an instant bond with her (I spent the first two years of my undergraduate career there before transferring to UC Berkeley, [...]

Hello lovies! This week I’m finally venturing into new territory with my Advice Column. While I may not be the wisest person you will ever meet, I’ve definitely gone through and overcome enough unwise things in my life to offer up a few tips . Today’s topic is one that I’ve had to deal with [...]

Growing up, the girls in my family would use St. Ives Apricot scrub, both the body and face formulas. It has so much nostalgia for me – using it whenever pesky dry skin would show up, avoiding it when I’d get sunburns, making sure all of the sandy walnut pieces were well washed away before [...]

Yesterday I explored the Martinez Marina (only 5 minutes from my home) for the first time. I had no idea such a beautiful place was so close! Docked sailboats, fishermen, mossy trees…it was like I was in another state all-together! My friend and photographer Kanoa (check out his blog!) came along and shot some of the [...]

Lately I’ve been seeing quite a few braided fabric necklaces pop up in the fashion blogosphere. I fell in love with the way it almost blends into your outfit, making a basic top look like an intricate piece. I coveted one of my own, so I looked for leftover fabric from previous projects to create [...]

I’ve been on the lookout for new silk scarves to use as turbans lately with no luck. Maybe it’s just me being lazy, but after not finding any great ones on my latest thrifting adventures, I decided the most affordable route was to purchase a piece of cloth from my local fabric store and call [...]

Shauna from Meowsk has become one of what I like to call my Obbies – online buddy (lol cheesy I know). I’ve featured her in a few guests posts, totally enjoy her photography, and have come to respect her eye for all things pretty. She’s been someone who has supported me, which I really appreciate [...]

I was going to move on from fashion advice this week, but when I got an email from Leah H. about packing for vacations, I fell in love with the subject. She and her fiancé are heading to Japan for their honeymoon for two weeks, and she requested some advice on how to pack efficiently. [...]

I absolutely love ice cream. Rocky Road, Mocha Almond Fudge, Mint Chocolate Chip, you name it I devour it. But when it comes to frozen yogurt, I’ve had my ups and downs. The frozen yogurt I remember from my youth was too liquidy, not flavorful, and only came in chocolate or vanilla. Last year my [...]

I had all of these cute outfits planned out in my mind to share with you guys this week, but the cold, rainy weather CALIFORNIA (!!) has been experiencing made me go running for the trench coat. I thought now was as good as a time to show off another one of my Eugenia Kim [...]

We all have those love affairs that were once full of excitement and attraction, but have petered out and lost it’s thrill. What was beloved becomes ignored and uncared for. No, I’m not talking about our romance lives, but rather our relationships with our clothes. Those shirts, skirts, pants, etc. that caught our eye are now [...]

One of my most, if not the most, favorite designers when it comes to the visage we see on the runway would have to be Christian Dior. They just know how to do a complete look, from hair to toes. I’m always especially inspired by their cosmetic creations that, unlike many shows, can actually translate very [...]
