The Yellow Flannel

LA has been far from a sunshine paradise lately, or maybe I should say, even further than usual? Apparently, I’ve misplaced my umbrella, and instead of buying one, I’ve just been avoiding going outside other than a short run from my car door to shop doors. The rain will be over soon enough anyway…! What combats gloomy weather and grumpiness better than a cozy flannel? Well, many things, but a cozy flannel sure helps too. I picked this one up from Urban Outfitters, and when I went to the store to get it, I got sucked into the sale section…

Cable Knit & Statement Boots

Happy New Year! Welcome to my blog… 4.0? I can’t actually remember how many incarnations my blog has gone through. The last one lasted about 15 months and as the first order of business of 2019 (I’m talking literally 5 minutes after the ball drop), I spontaneously decided to change everything up. I felt inspired from meeting and shooting with the talented and adorable Gabby in Orange, CA. I forgot how fun it can be to create. I feel excited again. For the shoot I wore a UO mock neck cable knit in two different outfits. The older I get,…

SF Moments

I kept alluding to big life changes in my very scarce blog posts in the last two months, and I’m finally just gonna say it now – a breakup, yep that’s what it was, nothing groundbreaking. (If you’re a friend who’s a secret reader of my blog and feel left out of the loop, let’s catch up I miss you!) Soon after it happened I booked a trip to NorCal to spend some quality time with friends, and that’s exactly what I got – 48 hours of roaming, eating, laughing, tea-drinking, talking. Friendship is wonderful. It has been a few…

LA Diaries #1

I have never loved living in LA like I do right now. I moved into my own apartment about four months ago and it has become my very own little corner in the city. I don’t know how many years I will be living in this great city of dreams and reality, so I’m making the best of it. I’ve been going through some changes lately, but through my efforts, the positive has way outweighed the negative. I’m doing everything with more purpose and drive. This includes things I already loved, and perhaps more importantly, things that I always wanted…

Fall Blues

It’s been a while! Recently I have been going through some life changes and adapting to them is taking all the energy that I have. I’ve been trying to do more and think less. I’m learning that instead of doing things when I feel like them, I should just go ahead and start doing things that I know to be good for me. One of these tasks is of course blogging. The creation of every single blog post on here has brought me joy. So I put on a new navy blue blouse that I got from a Free People sale,…

Chicago Diaries

Last week, I visited Windy City for the first time for five days to attend the Laver Cup, an exciting new tennis tournament (yes I love tennis but no I do not play). It was a unique, thrilling, and time consuming experience, but I managed to find time to hit up some other spots around the city. Millennium Park Staying right in the heart of downtown allowed me to reach the park in less than ten minutes by foot. As my red-eye flight was scheduled to arrive at 5 am, I had the brilliant idea of visiting Millennium Park…
