For Chanel, I Crawl
No matter where you live in LA, you learn to negotiate your daily life with traffic. At some point, you have to decide what events are worth a 90-minute crawl on the 405 (one-way) for a 60-minutes-ish event, followed by another slow drive home–and this is after...
Two Meals, Two Bags
While I love posting photos of food from the road, it’s rare that I mention a restaurant by name. But sometimes an experience is so special, I have to make an exception. And today’s entry is actually about two meals, two bags. The first one is the...
The Road To Adoption, Part 4
In my last entry I mentioned the new series on Chanel black jackets. But my work/travel schedule is eating me alive so it’s taking me a tad bit longer to get the photos in place, though I promise to make the series worth your wait. As I’m unpacking from...
Pairings
I woke up this morning with rashes all over my body. Looks like measles but I don’t feel sick so it’s probably an allergic reaction to something. Hard to focus on anything else when your arms and legs look like a science experiment gone wrong though. So...
Space Shuttle Endeavour
Each year the Smithsonian magazine treats the public to a wonderful day (called Museum Day Live!) of free museum admission around the country. Of course if you’re in the DC area, you have this gift every day from all of the Smithsonian museums. I wish all...
Tax-free In Portland!
As soon as you drive across the bridge marking the state line between Washington and Oregon, you are in Portland. Blink and you’ll miss that sign above. When I got back home, I realized that I took virtually no pictures of Portland except for the few that you...
Seattle Center
Seattle really knows how to do tourism right. Streets are clean, downtown is safe, and public transportation is foolproof. From the airport you can hop on the light rail for $2.75, and in about 35 minutes, at the Westlake terminus, you are downtown. There’s...
Hibulb Cultural Center
Just north of the Snohomish River near the town of Marysville, Washington, is the 22,000-acre Tulalip Indian Reservation. The Tulalip (pronounced as too-LAY-lip ) tribe’s predecessors and allied tribes signed the Treaty of Point Elliot with the US government in...
Grey Skies = Great Skin
So what does one do with 72 hours in the great northwest? In my case, I slip on some walking shoes that have already been broken in and put all the hats my little sister has knitted for me to good use while enjoying the lushness that is Seattle, Washington. Fashion...
George W. Bush Presidential Center
There are three presidential libraries in the great state of Texas. Luckily I’ve been a few times to the grand LBJ library in Austin, and on this last trip to Dallas I got to visit the recently opened George W. Bush Presidential Center near my old alma mater...
