Ive stalked this item ever since Nau introduced it last year in their new collection, so I snapped it up when it went on steep sale. Its filled with 850-fill down, which makes it inherently warmer th...
I think most women are drawn toward certain things all the time, so much so that thats all they wear for a long stretch. I know that among all of my jackets, I wear one. And I have my favorite pants,...
As a kid, I hated jujubes (a k a Chinese red dates) because I always associated them with traditional medicine and soups with weird ingredients. Their texture was always too mushy, and raw they were ...
Finally managed to be at my computer at the right time to snag the For Me, For You brass drops necklace (shop here). It came with charming packaging, and I love it. I will learn to wear jewelry.
More Le Minor dip dyed shirts from Madewell (last time). Im a lot happier with this batch.
I know I sort of wax on about "foot slimming mojo." It might not make sense to people with little feet, but when your flippers are size 9, you set much store in not making them appear larger ...
Baggu by Mociun. Is it too late to go to textile school?
Even though my career hasnt started yet, I have the retirement fantasy of owning a stationery shop. It would be beautiful things, day in and day out, and Id get to go to paper-related trade shows and...
The shoes of July. Its August again. This marks the end of my first year in New York.
Being at home in LA means that I can cook pork belly, which I couldnt possibly finish by myself in New York. It involves the pork belly itself and also a lot of rock sugar, soy sauce, and rice wine. ...
Its summer, but Im going back to California for a few weeks. So far weve had some really unpleasant and humid days in Ithaca, but most days are just fine. Los Angeles is still "home" to me, a...
Schools out for the year. Frankly, I cant believe it. I suddenly have tons of free time and celebrated the end of the school year with some bourbon and Rachel Comey Penpal boots. Summer here has been...
I dont do makeup at all, but skincare I do care about, as is the case with a lot of Asian women. My skin hasnt been good since moving to New York. I didnt do anything in the fall except use Olay pink...
Fell in love with the new Madewell x Le Minor shirts after getting the JCrew e-mail last week. I really like the boxy cut and thick, non-stretchy cotton. The problem is that all of the shirts are dif...
Ive kept this blog for a while now to keep track of what kinds of things I buy. Its fun to see how taste changes over time -- Im sure that if this blog went back far enough, it would feature velour t...
This last one is my apartment. The rest are neighboring houses, the curvy driveway behind my apartment, and our street. I live in the tan building, although the front entrance is through the green ho...
Comme des Garcons wallet (an all-time favorite)Filson 256 briefcaseIm at least succeeding in not buying trendy crap in favor of sturdy things that will last a long time. The smartphone is also one of...
Dieppa Restrepo Jericho bootieI want a pair of the popular Cali oxford style, which goes on sale every once in a while, though usually in colors like metallic gold or silver. Probably need to get a p...
The Frye Harness boots are a lot more comfortable out of box, but the hiking boots are more my speed for the snow around here. Ive been a lot happier ever since I discovered leather protector.
Quoddy Ring Boots -- easily one of the hardest to break in shoes Ive ever owned. I opted for the crepe soles rather than the bare leather ones just because Ive done so much slipping and falling here,...
Some pictures from happier times with my old camera. I stayed on for weeks during winter break after everyone had left, so the department was deserted. This is what I see every day.
When I was in LA over winter break, I was pretty excited to get my dads old dSLR and left my trusty but aging G7 at home. But now the reality sets in that its not a point-and-shoot. I thought Id take...
After spending two weeks in California, I came back to about a foot of snow. This is pretty cool too, except I managed to do a cartoon banana peel fall while walking downhill to my apartment.
