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…

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…

Singapore Diaries

After Taiwan, I experienced the urban marvel that is Singapore for the very first time. Fun fact: I have a beat up check-in red luggage that I’ve been using for 11 years now. I got it as a gift before traveling to Australia in the summer of 2007, during which I actually had a layover in Singapore Changi Airport! So 11 years and countless trips later, my beloved luggage made yet another trip to the great country of Singapore, except this time, it left the airport with me. Singapore is more of a city than a country (California is 579…

Taipei Impressions

I have been curious about Taiwan for years and despite advice against going during the deadly summer heat, I made a trip to Taiwan for the first time! Jerry has family in Taiwan and has visited many times, but I didn’t quite know what to expect other than the heat – seriously, that’s the only thing everyone kept telling (or warning, rather) us about. And everyone was not joking – high temperatures combined with humidity caused fast exhaustion and made it hard to see as much as we wanted to. While I was happy with the number of activities we…
