On My Radar: Ear Threaders
Honestly didn’t even know these were called ear threaders until about a week ago. Then I saw them while I was at a mall with my roommate helping her decide if she wanted to return some things. This pair caught my eye because it reminded me of a necklace I already had at home so I thought if anything, it could match. Either way, I’ve found…
Holiday wish list
With the Holidays here I can’t help but think about the special people in my life and the things I would want/get for them. A little late for this post, and a handful of these items are on backorder but it doesn’t hurt to imagine, right? FOR MY SISTER: A Little Bits Toy Kit. Yea sure, the photos on the site show little kids playing with…
On my Radar: Pamela Barsky’s pouches
I was on my way to a cafe in Lower East Side when I decided I’d take a roundabout route. I’m rarely in the neighborhood so I figured why not? You never know. It was definitely a grittier neighborhood than what I’m used to. The streets were uneven and cracked, dirty puddles were everywhere and the streets were empty, even for 10 AM in the morning. As…
On My Radar: Donald “Drawbertson”
This image popped up on my newsfeed the other day and I was immediately smitten. How whimsical, fun and colorful! “Who made that!?” I wondered. Seeing drawings like these always brings me back to the days when I myself was doing fashion illustrations in school. My favorite medium was always gouache and watercolor although I always had difficulty controlling the medium. Donald Robertson, aka Donald “Drawbertson” seems to have…
Editorial of the week: JiHye Park for Manifesto
We all appreciate beauty in some way or another, but in this day and age, it’s not enough to be just beautiful . If you’re in it to win it, you need to be more than just attractive on the outside: you need something more than just looks. Even models aren’t an exception to this rule! With this in mind, here’s this week’s editorial featuring the lovely…
Editorial of the week: New York Travel
The book Crazy Rich Asians has been on my mind (when is it not?) so I figured it would be appropriate to share this editorial with you. Let’s flashback to “New York Travel” which was taken for GQ China in November 2009. Even though this was taken 5 years ago (believe it or not), it is still relevant and even more prevalent today. I especially love…
Style me for: Animal Kingdom
About a week ago, I got an email from someone who came across my blog, asking me what she should wear for her family’s upcoming trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (That is what my “Contact” page is for after all….:)) As a proud wife and mother of 3, she wants to look fashionable yet functional with a unique twist. She has her itinerary all set with venues to…
Building a business (fashionable) wardrobe on budget
Building a work wardrobe on a budget is difficult, especially as a millennial-I should know! You want to develop a style that is professional but you also need to be mindful of where you work and where you are going. Sometimes you even have to think about who you are meeting! As a millennial: 1) I change jobs sooner and more often than previous generations, meaning dress…
Chloe + Isabel in Business and Life
I’ve always wanted to curate a collection of beautiful things, so when my friend Tiffany asked me to curate a collection for her Chloe+ Isabel boutique, of course I said yes. I found it very easy to pick jewelry that fit my versatile style- pieces that could easily be worn from day to night, for work and play, casual or dressy, and in both business…
Editorial of the week: Flowers in December
December is finally here. I’ve been waiting for December to arrive just so I could share this editorial. Every time I look at this I’m enchanted. The bold lip. The elegant flowers. The exaggerated silhouettes. Simple but dramatic, like everything December should be.
