Channeling House of Gucci Style | The Chic List
I’m going “Gaga,” over cheetah and leopard print. There, I said it. If the runways didn’t confirm it for the glitterati of this world (Michael Kors and Lanvin to name a couple), then singer and actress extraordinaire, Lady Gaga has the past few weeks of the House of Gucci press tour: Animal print, specifically leopardContinue reading “Channeling House of Gucci Style | The Chic List”
Gucci Goes Hollywood: A Look Inside the “Gucci Love Parade”
Hollywood Boulevard, a sidewalk with stars that line a street of dreams.

Last Minute Halloween costume idea for the vintage girl at heart
The fact that it’s Halloween tomorrow is ‘S’wonderful, S’marvelous!’ That is, unless you’re still scratching your head and scouring every costume store in your city that is overcrowded with fellow procrastinators for props and garments that will transform you into another person for the night.

Balboa Park | How I Wandered and What I Wore
Two belfries in the plateresque style reflect in a liquid looking glass, as I walk past the outstretched pond in San Diego’s Balboa Park. It’s a deliciously sunny day, and the sky is a vibrant blue.

The cubic white façade looks like a modern Mount Olympus from the 101 Freeway. But it’s not a haven for the gods—even though much of the European art within the Getty Museum’s wings do depict the Grecian and Roman deities in the brushstrokes of the Renaissance masters. When I lived in LA, The Getty MuseumContinue reading “going to the getty | the guide and the go-to garb”
TURNING 25 | A REFLECTION
The ocean breeze and sun blew a combination of mist and sand in my thick raven tresses. With hair of my texture it tangled, but I didn’t care in the least. I welcome it. The grains might as well have been glitter. The ocean spray was a christening. Because Malibu brings out a glow inContinue reading “TURNING 25 | A REFLECTION”
The SCARF PRINT DRESS | THE CHIC LIST
There’s power in patterns. They are like roadmaps to who we are—whether that’s a recurring behavior or an echoed motif throughout an article of clothing.
