Gardens and Garments: Portland Edition
Roses are red, violets are blue—but I’m good with just roses, thank you. One cannot visit the “City of Roses” without going to the Portland Rose Garden! The rose happens to be my favorite flower of them all because it encompasses everything I believe a flower should be: lively, romantic, aromatic—and let’s be honest, any…

The Honorary Oregonian
Wanderlust isn’t just international: it can be cured in America too. This last week, I hopped on a plane to visit my college roommate, Rebekah in Oregon. As the airplane began to move, I immediately put on my rose gold headphones and played a song that would coincide with takeoff. Call me dorky, but I…

Opposites
Everyone has their opposite—there’s a night to day, a yin to yang, and a Chereen to Kristin. Like any opposing forces, my cousin Chereen and I came into the world around the same time—well okay she is ten months older than me (but close enough!). Anyway, from the moment we could talk, the two of…

If that means wearing an outfit that can either be taken as super trendy and unique or be borderline grandma, I’m more than okay with it. Sure I drink…

Collegiate Chic
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the definition of “Nostalgia” is “pleasure and sadness that is caused by remembering something from the past and wishing that you could experience it again.” When I think of the term, my personal definition is just one word, three syllables: “Pepperdine.” It has been a whole month as of…

Vogue in Venice
When people think of Southern California, the first thing that may come to mind is the land of celebrities: Hollywood. If strolling down the walk of fame is not your taste, you may be the person that thinks of the posh and high-class society of Beverly Hills; it has tons of places to shop and…

Attire as Art
I cannot put my finger on what it is about art that is so captivating. Maybe it’s the way an array of emotions can be captured in a single painting or sculpture. Or maybe it’s the way the same piece of art can mean different things to different people, of various time periods, races, and…

The Best Is Yet to Come
As I reflect on 2014, I realize that this blog was a huge part of it. I’d like to thank you all for reading my work; fashion brings me so much joy and I hope this platform about my personal fashion choices has brought you joy! I’ve always been in love with fashion: the art…
