ODJ: 4/18 Club Annual Meeting
Though I won’t actually see Lil A for the 4/18 Club annual meeting till a bit later, we could at least coordinate our outfits around my favorite color on our shared birthday. Grey is the new black, and this is Lil A’s ODJ: As for me, I’m going with a...
Matchy-Matchy 4/16/2014
Sometimes there is no back-story to tell; I simply like pairing and photographing fashion items. Today’s entry starts yet another series I’ll feature here called Matchy-Matchy. And it’ll only be about the eye...
The Chanel Jacket Diaries, Part 3
Hypothetically speaking, if I woke up with my closet ablaze and could only save one Chanel jacket, which would it be? Logically it would make sense to save the practical jacket from the last episode since it would get me the most mileage, especially if I had no other...

Road To Adoption: When Two Birds Collide
Sometimes you just shouldn’t taunt Mother Nature. Last week I glibly wrote to someone that we Los Angelenos don’t even roll out of bed for any earthquake weaker than a 4.5. Fast forward to Friday around 9pm, when I was in the middle of preparing for a big...
Wooden Music Box
This will be brief. My email box was swamped with requests from readers about the little robot I got from Taiwan so I’m posting more photos with info about it so that you can look for your own special music box online, but if you pass through the Taipei...
Collier De Chien
So I’m in Taipei, deciphering my fortune cookie messages (wondering if that means one of my successful work projects will take me finally to base camp at Mount Everest!). And all I have to show for Taipei are these photos: Aren’t those cool wooden music...
