Girl in Gingham
We may live in a minimalist age, but I’ve always been more drawn to the maximalist trends evident in brands like Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana. Embroidery, embellishments, and rich colors when done tastefully can bring back an air of monarchial grace of the Renaissance noblewomen. Thankfully, Zara a more affordable option, is filled with…

June Gloom Blooms Are Culottes
As you may or may not know, I have been wanting to buy myself a bouquet of peonies for years now. The experience was quite remarkable–from spotting the buds in the midst of many breathtaking blooms at the flower market to watching them slowly wake up, stretching their petals out completely to reveal their awestruck…

A Tea Fit For Royalty at the Palace Hotel
Since I was a little girl, I had this fascination with going to high tea. My mother used to take me to a local favorite called the English Rose Garden, where we would get all dolled up and indulge in delectable finger sandwiches and confections on a doily covered table. Since the teahouse closed down,…

Library Lookbook: California State Library
A library touched by Midas. A labyrinth of literature, filled with rich wall murals and cozy leather chairs to gape at them from. It was as if this The California State Library did not even belong in California, but in the belly of an ancient pyramid. “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a…

Primrose (Hill) and Proper
Picture this: the sun shining down on pastel houses as birds are chirping. Sounds like some wonderful dream, right? Well, that my fellow chicsters was how my day began in Primrose Hill. Yes, this sounds like my day in Notting Hill as well. You could say I took London by rain or sunshine, one “hill”…
