Tough Audience

Today’s ODJ is about transitioning a Chanel 08A jacket from work to play. Last night I took the (sparkly) jacket down a few kilowatts by pairing it with black jeans and a black t-shirt to watch the Clippers play the Mavs: The Kardashian clan (Kris, Kim and Kloe)...

Fashion Sense And Sensibility

I don’t know what you were doing at 8am today, but a nurse came to my house to measure my weight, height, blood pressure, and to draw lots of blood. Then I had to pee in a cup. It’s routine that I get blood work done at my primary’s lab, but this was...

Look What Showed Up on eBay!

It’s no mystery that fashionistas gravitate toward Chanel prêt-à-porter for the beautiful fabrics and trims. But once in a while, there will be offerings in more common, or shall we say street, materials such as sweatshirt fabric and velour. Yes, I said the v...

Happy Holidays!

I hope that Santa will bring you everything you wish for. As for me, I woke up on Christmas eve to a blue sky, put on my capri jeans, tshirt, and sandals and darted outside to soak up the lovely 75-degrees weather in my part of the world. And I’ll get to do it...

Finally Done

This time last year I was frantically chasing down ready-to-wear on sale. This year, I am more or less sidelined because even the items on my Chanel wish list turned out to be not so exciting (or cute) once I saw them in person. Interestingly enough, some of the...

Unwrap And Unpack

As you can see from this first photo, I’ve made it home to reunite the bag with the boots. It’s a yummy bag, isn’t it? Sidebar: I think I want a horse for Xmas. Speaking of which, sales season is in full swing but I’m still scrambling to catch...
