The Portrait Collar
If you had the misfortune of living with me, you’d want to be on holiday (as in away from me) from late November to mid-January, when sales season is in full swing. Otherwise you’d soon be fed up of seeing me in major cray mode, emailing/texting/calling my...
New Eyes
I don’t have particularly bad vision, if you don’t count the whole night blindness symptoms and astigmatism stuff, not to mention the reading glasses issue. Though that’s just another excuse for me to collect Chanel frames–hey, aging has to...
CES 2013
Take a bunch of gadget freaks–about 150,000 of them–put them in Vegas for a week under the guise of work and you’ve got the Consumer Electronics Show, one of the world’s largest global conferences. I’ve heard about this for years but...
Like Aunt Like Niece
That looks like trouble. Wonder where Lil A got that giddiness for window shopping from… like aunt, like niece. But while Lil A was fabbing all around Dallas in her black and white Chanel inspired puffer coat (I knew she had to have that jacket the minute I saw...
Rose Parade From Scratch
Happy 2013 everyone! Instead of taking you down the Rose Parade as I had done in years past, this year I’ll show you the parade from scratch by actually volunteering to decorate one of the floats. I’ve probably wanted to do this since moving to Pasadena in...
What’s Christmas Without Chanel?
I know, I totally went off the grid after that big Birkin reveal, but it was mostly from trying to wrap up a few projects before year end. Plus I’ve finally caught the cold that I was so sure another passenger would give me on my last few flights. So no frantic...
Bringing Baby Home
Be careful what you wish for was all I could hear in my head when I finally packed up to head home from my trip. There was no way I could fit that huge orange box in any of my luggage. How would I fit it in the overhead cabin or at my feet? Worse, would it even fit...
Road To Adoption, Part 2
Girls dream about their wedding day, how they’ll wear their hair, what dress they’ll wear…long before they even lay eyes on Mr. Right. I have dreamed about a similar celebratory day of sorts, an adoption day if you will, far in advance of knowing...
Target + NM Collab
The first week in December roared off with me flying some 25,000 miles within a matter of 7 days. And wouldn’t you know it, the long hyped Target + Neiman Marcus collaboration had to launch on the day I was out of town! But the beauty of travel with WiFi is that...
My Photographic Me
Fashion magazines are definitely my one guilty pleasure, next to brain-draining (yet compelling!) reality shows like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. After all, where else can I find over-the-top fashion all bundled up every time I have thirty minutes to spare?...
