It has been two months since the start of construction on my condo and I’m happy to say it’s almost done. Now comes the fun part when the paint goes up, the walls are tiled and the appliances are installed. Here’s a sneak peek at some of my personal picks and progress: With the added coffered …
When I was a kid, the only Uggs that were available were the classic sheepskin boots that seem to never go out of style. I’ll always have fond memories of the boots since I wore them all the time to and from the ice rink for my daily practice sessions (for those who don’t know… …
The weather in SoCal has been perfect for wearing dresses… not too hot and not too cold… just right. And, finding the perfect summer floral dress is easy when you know where to look. Right now, I’m loving Yumi Kim’s dresses. Not only are these dresses comfy and super cute, but I can’t help but feel …
My condo was one of the first buildings to be built along the Wilshire Corridor back in the 1960s and since then, few if any updates have been made inside the space.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, I constantly find myself standing at the counter, chopping, sautéing, steaming, boiling, blending or boxing up leftovers for the next day. I eat a fairly healthy, plant-based diet along with minimal amounts of fish and seafood. While …
My obsession with clothes began as a little girl and continues today. When I was in grade school, I remember trying on 3 or 4 different outfits every morning, trying to decide what to wear. Yes, it would drive my mom crazy as she called for me to come downstairs, saying, “Your breakfast is ready. …
I don’t think I’ve worn a backpack since my school days, but after bringing one on my trip to Budapest, Hungary… I’m hooked. I was recently given this black water-resistant nylon backpack by Tess and could not be happier about bringing it halfway around the world. The bag is a standard utilitarian backpack – it holds …
July 4th is on Monday and that means it’s time to fire up the bbq and put on your best patriotic gear. My favorite clothing line with red, white and blue motifs?
