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 dog (who took pictures with me in this post) after Frida. In addition to [...]

Hello lovies! In place of an outfit post today, I am giving away clothes from Style Pantry’s closet. These are pieces that I have never worn. Some have tags, some don’t. Never wore them because they are either too big or not long enough. I always try to go up a size for length, but sometimes, that’s not enough. This [...]

It has been a very exhausting but productive week. I’m thankful for his mercies. Ready for a chilled weekend. Scratch that. My favorite (she twisted my arm) and only niece is in town, so I’m going to show her a good time. I’ve had this top for a decade. Bought it at a vintage store in Maryland. For years, I [...]

You have seen this skirt before. I made it after I searched all over for a royal blue, sheer maxi skirt and couldn’t find one. I made it in a yellow as well. I’m in the process of ‘trying’ to make another. In a different style, cut and fabric. Will share when I’m done. Hint: It’s going to have tiered [...]

Greg, the kids and I spent most of Saturday running errands. By the time we got back home for nap time, it was time to wash and get back out for dinner with Greg’s family. We went to a Japanese place for dinner – it was a beautiful way to end a tiring day. My father-in-law had me in stitches [...]

I have to say, I’m really glad I’m not in NY right now for NYFW. Besides having my hands full with projects & family, I can’t stand the cold. I just can’t. Grateful for technology/internet. You can see certain shows online or view an entire collection in the comfort of your home or office. Bless your heart if you are [...]

I’m seriously hoping and praying that this LA weather does not switch on us. It has been so nice.. for at least six weeks now. Yesterday I took the kids to the park and we had a blast. Today, I have to work, but they go to work with me. I always make sure I’m equipped with coloring books, crayons, [...]

I have been doing a wardrobe purge lately. I find things in my closet that I don’t necessarily remember having. Not cool. It’s been a year since I last donated bags full of clothes. A year (I know, I’m hiding my face). I was thinking about giving to my online readers/friends, but that means I have to take a picture [...]

This blazer was love at first sight. The fit, the chest pocket handkerchief, and what completely sealed the deal were the elbow patches. I didn’t even try it on.. I just grabbed. It ended up being a bit warm yesterday, so no need for the faux fur, I hope. Wearing Zara blazer and pants, vintage blouse & Booties by Italian [...]

Hey lovelies! I’ll try to make this quick. So, yesterday I was talking to one of my girlfriends about makeup. I don’t know much about it, however I mentioned that I don’t use powder, foundation, blush, mascara, etc.. but there are two things I can’t live without: My eyeliner and lip gloss. Then I got reminded of the fact that [...]
