So remember when I mentioned last week (in this post) that I was spending the day at the NBC Universal lot? Well, we can talk about the project now. NBC asked if I could create three looks inspired by the movie Snow White and the Huntsman and of...

Hello, lovies. Will try to make this short and sweet (well maybe not sweet haha). Recommended this yellow pleated maxi skirt on our twitter and facebook page a while back. It has since sold out. Wore it yesterday and couldn’t be happier with...

I attended the Lucky Fabb Conference in Santa Monica yesterday. Had such an amazing time. The panel was great and definitely a wealth of information. I have to say, though, Brandon Holley (EIC of Lucky mag) made the packed room feel relaxed and not...

It has been cold in LA the last couple of days. More like windy and sporadic rain. An oversize knit seems appropriate and cozy! The cardigan I have on is c/o of romwe.com (out of stock). Found a pretty similar one. In fact, I’m in love with...

I have had this Paul & Joe denim shirt for ages. It used to be a favorite in my closet (when I didn’t have anything to wear), because it goes with everything. Same with the belt. Oldie but goodie. Found a similar style shirt at Nordstrom...

This was my Farmer’s market outfit on Sunday. My girlfriend and I love going to the swap meet to scoop up vintage pieces. Bags, shoes, clothes, and most importantly, jewelry. I like to be super comfortable and careful when I’m going...

I am sooooo glad it’s Friday. The kiddies are going away for the weekend – I couldn’t be happier…haha. Mama needs a break! What are your plans for the weekend (if any)? Wearing: Orange polka dot shirt c/o Romwe. Looks like...

I love an oversize sweater over anything. So cozy! My two favorite ways to pair an oversize knit is with a maxi (as seen below), or with a pair of boyfriend or pegged jeans. Some people prefer it with skinnies – that’s a fun look as...

I have a terrible cold, but on the bright side, it’s nice and sunny in LA. Forgot to wear a necklace, and I felt totally naked. Luckily, my bag came to the rescue. Yup, I improvised with the strap and I like it. Will definitely be used as a...

Hello, my lovies. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I’d first like to thank you all for your fantastic support. You made 2011 a great year of growth, success and most of all I feel like we have created a family together. To that, I raise my glass! Cheers to...

So I received this top in the mail. It was sent to me by Tiffany Hester, who is the founder of Preface. I was impressed by her story, which I’m certain most of you (who are taller than average) can relate to. Ms. Hester is 6’1′ and...

Snapped some shots before I went to yet another holiday party yesterday evening. Went for a relaxing but somewhat festive look. My coral tuxedo blazer is from Nasty Gal. Can be purchased here. Blouse is from Zara. I don’t see it on the site...

It is getting really, really cold and I’m loving it. Nothing compared to East Coast weather, but for LA, yeah it’s quite brisk. I have on a layer of tank top (for warmth)  & biker shorts (in case of a Marilyn Monroe moment) under my...

Los Angeles weather is perfection right now. The kind of weather where you can get away with sandals as long as you are bundled up. It also allows for maximizing your summer closet (that I never pack up). I have on a spaghetti strap ruffle maxi...

There’s something innocent, modest, yet chic about the “pussy bow” style that I have fallen in love with. I don’t know how to tie a perfect bow. I have tried and tried, but I’m OK with imperfections. It gives...

So it’s my birthday week, which means the celebration is already at full speed. My birthday is actually Saturday, the 12th. I will be 35! I know Greg is planning a huge party because every single family member is flying in from all over the...

I have had this JCrew sweater in different colors for ages (back when I lived on the east coast), so when I moved to the west, I really didn’t need all my cold weather pieces (wow, I have been here for almost a decade). It was originally a...

You know I’m obsessed with leopard print, right? So when I saw this shirt on Romwe.com, I fell in love. I don’t care if I already have five leopard print shirts – each one is different. I like to say they all have their own...

On Saturday, Greg and I had the day to ourselves. All three kids were out of the house for 24 hours – Thanks to family! Remember the kids were sick last week, right? Well Greg caught whatever they had, so he hasn’t been feeling well. We...

When I bought this dress, it was purely to turn it into a maxi skirt. Though I was not interested in the style as a dress, couldn’t help but fall in love with the colors and floral design & pattern. It was love at first sight -  As soon...

Uhm, so Missoni for Target today, people. I need to hear from you all. Did you go? What did you buy… Details please, and possibly pictures. If my day is not too hectic today, I may take a quick break and and head over to my nearest Target,...

Over the weekend, Greg, I and the kids walked across the street to watch the fellas play tennis. Well, a bug flew into my right eye and it itched, got teary and pretty much bugged the entire day (hehe). I wore this skirt that used to be a dress. I...

It has been so cold in the morning and evening in Los Angeles. The weather is so tricky. You bundle up.. only to have to undress during the day. Sigh! This look was inspired by Frida Kahlo. My good friend Natalie Rotman, named her precious rescue...

Hello, lovies! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! These photos are not recent. They are probably 2 or 3 weeks old. Found them when I was going through the picture folder. I made the skirt in the pic. I wanted a black, A-line maxi skirt, but...

This is another outfit from San Francisco. Safe to say that moving forward, my outfit posts will not necessary be current. Since I have a four day overlap. This skirt was originally a dress. I wore it as a maternity dress with my last two...

I’m so loud. With colors, that is. If I don’t wear something bright, you should check to see if I’m OK. Like this outfit here. I didn’t want to post it, but I also like to share good and bad days. After all, this is my closet...

This was what I wore out for ‘date night’ last Thursday. We had a quiet, laid back evening. I toned down the gold sequin top by pairing with a bodycon maxi skirt and wedge sandals. I am so ready for the weekend. I wish it was a three day...

Remember when I posted the H&M Conscious Collection? Did you all ever make it to H&M to pick up pieces from the line? The collection was made from recycled and environmentally conscious materials. I love the feel. It’s light and airy....

So, I decided to try something new with my lips on this day. Purple lipstick. I have had it sitting on my vanity for a while. It was a gift from Mac Costmetics. I applied it lightly, so it’s not overbearing, but still dramatic (at least for...

May 23, 2011

Yesterday, Greg and I (along with the kids), went to the Beverly Hills Farmers market to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. The kids also get to ride ponies and push kiddie shopping carts around as if they are shopping. They love spending their...
