Making “Indie Sleaze” work for your 2023 wardrobe
If you tend to have a sleeker style, it doesn’t mean you can’t let out your inner “indie sleaze.” This fashion era that followed Y2K, is one that can be borderline cringe for people like me that were in middle school at its peak: heavy smudged under eyeliner, choppy bangs, skinny jeans with combat boots…but…

How Sacramento’s Tower Bridge Inspired My Outfit
Fashion inspiration can stem from anywhere. Upon first glance, you may think Etro’s Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear show at Milan Fashion Week influenced my decision to sport a plaid skirt suit. Or perhaps Burberry’s Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear runway at London Fashion week. But this animus came from the California capital city’s architecture. Sacramento is eclectically outfitted…

Inside Louis Vuitton’s 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries Exhibit in Beverly Hills
Fitting two hundred candles on a birthday cake is an ambitious ask. But building a cake for someone’s 200th birthday out of 31,700 Lego bricks, is achievable after 50 hours, with the ingenuity of a luxury house’s French atelier and seven children. The innocence of youth is a protection from envisioning obstacles or barriers. So…

How-To Dress Like a Chanel Girl | The Chic List
I’ve been dreaming of vintage Chanel lately. Perhaps it’s my subconscious soaking in all those vintage Chanel ads that I scroll through on Pinterest, the same way some would mindlessly their “for you” page on TikTok. Maybe it’s my vintage Chanel gold chain necklace sitting at my throat, whispering to me the lures of couture…

San Diego: Where to Eat and Stay | The Chic List
As wanderers, we have two things we yearn for: a sense of adventure that comes with the winds of change while drive with the windows down toward a destination. The second thing is a sense of home when we’re away from where we dwell. Well, there are two things for me, in particular that can…

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. My Georgian dress is just as bright, the color of the goldfish in the lagoon (thanks, Mari for introducing…

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. As a forward thinker with a vintage soul, I embrace change like an old friend. Meanwhile, I tend to make a tradition of what works. I’ve always been a repeat…

channeling Jackie Kennedy in San francisco
So this one’s a bit of a throwback, number one because this San Francisco trip was ages ago. Number two, the look is a recreation of Jackie O’s simple yet unforgettable street style photo in Capri. As far as I’m concerned, Jackie-O circa ‘70s was the height of her reign as American fashion queen. One…

The Chicest Parisian Cafe in LA You Need to Go To
Crossing the threshold of the jewelry district to the Spring Street Arcade building—a Spanish Renaissance hole in the wall built in 1924—I could truly say I found a diamond in the rough of Downtown Los Angeles. I used to be a local downtowner from the financial district but rarely crossed over to the grungier side…

British Things to Do in (And Around) LA
This guide was a long time coming, and I’m sorry I drew it out longer than the War of the Roses! Dedicated readers know all too well that I’m an anglophile, something I haven’t been able to shake since living in London for an entire year (granted I had an obsession with all things British…
