The benefit of doing everything at home is getting to wear comfy clothes. Though I do miss my heels and fancy clothes sometimes, it’s nice to pad around in socks and slippers and casual wear all day every day. Even though I do get fully dressed to work (from home), I still maintain some level […] Read More »

Finding Fun this February
January came and went like a whirlwind, and I’m not too sad about it because it was quite a month. Due to politics and things in my personal life, last month was pretty crazy and intense. But I deal with tough times by having fun. Yes, life is serious but you have to make the […] Read More »

I mean, who doesn’t like […] Read More »

I always tend to get dressed around my accessories. Give me a new statement bag or pair of shoes and I can build my entire look around it!

My style: Pops of pink (J. Crew striped popover blouse + Hudson jeans + Celine Leather Luggage Tote in neon pink)
I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt […] Read More »
My Style: Test-driving the Knomo ‘Ravello’ laptop bag
As a writer/editor, I need my tech tools with me at all times – like my laptop for writing and editing, my iPhone for Tweeting and Facebooking, and my camera for street style and fashion snaps and cords to connect them all. So despite always carrying around large handbags, I need a separate one for […] Read More »
My Style: Baltimore Harbor (Zara blazer + BB Dakota top +DvF pants + Celine Luggage Tote)
Just a few weeks ago, the weather was just perfect – sunny and balmy outside. It certainly didn’t feel like Fall or Winter. I took these pics while visiting Baltimore Harbor on a gorgeous day, filled with strolling by the water and eating tons of crabs. Yum. A blazer is my usual go-to piece for […] Read More »
My Style: Birds & Sparkles (Zara top & crystal platforms + Missoni for Target skirt)
My accessory addiction knows no bounds, so no matter what store I’m in, I hit up the accessories section first. On a recent shopping trip to Zara I spied these crystal-studded platform slingbacks (that the photos do NO justice – they’re so much more beautiful in person) and I just had to have them. Of […] Read More »
My Style: What to wear to a baby shower (Tucker for Target dress + Zara sandals + Kooba bag)
Typically baby shower attire consists of little more than jeans and a shirt for most, but when the mommy-to-be is a fashionista, you know you have to step your game up.

My Style: Orange Pop (Hawke & Co. trench + UK Style by French Connection top + J. Crew pants)
Gloomy days call for a pop of color, don’tcha think? In college, I used to be that girl that would always wear all black. Not sure what I had against color, since my high school wardrobe was PRETTY COLORFUL. Thank goodness there are few photos. But throughout college, I donned all black, pretty much all […] Read More »
My Style: Peplum 2011 (Kersh top + Zara jeans & sandals + Jimmy Choo Mahala/Maddy bag)
On one of the perfect, sun-filled days we had at the end of the summer, I pulled out this Kersh printed peplum-style top. Admittedly, I was never really a fan of the style – peplum dresses always conjure up images of awful eighties style to me – particularly the clothes Jackée Harry wore while playing […] Read More »
