Year Of The Cat
I know practically everything (and soon everyone) is made in or owned by China, but some of us Asians follow our own lunar new year, as opposed to the Chinese New Year. And that can get a little confusing sometimes, especially this year, when we recognize two totally...
William Rast For Target
I have a confession to make. I’m a Justin Timberlake fan, and if he ever goes on tour again I might or might not have to rent a tween to take to the concert with me (I’m just here to chaperone, ahem!). In all the recent running around I forgot to blog...
Closet Colonoscopy
You know how some days you just wake up feeling like how my cat looks? This weekend has been like that for me. I sprained my ankle from a particularly rigorous workout on Friday so I’ve been hobbling around on one good foot for the last 48 hours. But the good...
Visual Aid
All right, so you’ve all given me lots of food for thought. I’m leaning toward most of your suggestions about wearing heels with it to lengthen the look as anything with a peplum can make me look both shorter and wider, and that’s about as attractive...
Couture Counsel: Interpreting The Runway
So a couple of blog entries ago I hinted at a jacket that’s a favorite of mine yet rests in my closet like a semi-forgotten trophy wife. She’s not lost her glitter, still a sight to behold, but she doesn’t get out much. And by that I mean at all....

*Above photo courtesy of my virtual BFF who’s living my other life in KL A dear reader recently wrote about her first Chanel bag and the whole charming experience behind buying it. She also asked me which was the first one that led me down this, shall we say,...
I Dreamed Of Buffalo
When I wrote about this bag last month, a dear reader advised me to sleep on it and see if the Chanel pale bluish-gray Chain Around flap in sueded buffalo was worth hunting. Well, I did mull it over, over many cups of tea and stronger drinks, over long...
Are We There Yet?
While my parents were here for my Dad’s 70th birthday earlier this month, we decided to take a train ride from LA to Sacramento to visit my mom’s sister. It would be my mom’s first train ride ever and she got as excited as I get at a CHANEL sale....
This Perfect LA Day At Griffith Park
One of my favorite places in the world is right here in my backyard, so whenever I have visitors, we always head to Griffith Park to check out the hiking trails and Observatory. On this sunny day back in early December of 2010, there were tons of kids at the...
This Unforgiving Skirt
Well, I took all of your comments and advice to heart and tried on all 7 looks, plus a few other permutations that shall go down nameless in flames. And this, the safest of all in terms of color-coordination, is the look that I chose to wear outside of the house: No...
