I was fortunate enough to visit Barcelona twice in 2011, once in June and once in October. The differences in visiting between summer and fall were incredible. As expected during the fall, the line...
Norway was a country I really didnt know too much about prior to my visit, which in hindsight was great because it let me see it with unbiased eyes. That doesnt happen very often now, not because I ...
Beja beja (pronounced beh-jah beh-jah) is a random phrase I learned from one of my students while teaching English in Japan. It is one of many fond memories from my travels, that I wont soon forget. ...
I was browsing through the April 2009 TIME magazine supplement, when a small passport size photo caught my eye. It was a picture of a girl wearing a simple white blouse with what looked like perfectl...
Weve cut back on shopping. Across the board, sales are down and it is blatantly obvious everywhere you look. Unless of course, in an extreme act of self control youve hidden under a rock to avoid spe...

John, my trusted hair stylist, rolled his eyes when I told him I had a picture of the hairstyle I wanted. He took the picture of Anja, looked at me, and told me he had a better idea. His skills are i...
Anja Rubik is definitely one of my favorite models. I love her entire look and how she can pull off the badass persona while still allowing a bit of feminine vulnerability to seep through. Also, she'...

I try to apply this notion of less is more to most aspects in my life - especially in dressing. There is usually one thing I highlight in an outfit: the silhoette of a dress, a bright top, funky shoe...
Fall in Los Angeles has been very moody. For me, I like it either blistering hot or freezing cold. Fall and Spring aren't seasons I look forward to, to say the least. Moderation isn't me. If only it ...

I have been obsessed with Diana Krall lately. To me, there's nothing sexier than a woman with a slightly raspy voice. Rachael Yamagata, Norah Jones, Lisa Ono, and Astrud Gilberto also fit the bill ni...
It may be odd to some, but within reason, price isn't much of a factor when it comes to basics like tees and tanks. Same thing goes for jeans. I wear them all the time, so it totally makes sense (to ...
Finally got a haircut after almost four months. It's definitely the fastest way to feel like a brand new person. I highly recommend it after a fight, break up, or if you just want to feel fresh again...
