my boyfriend styles me

Whenever I have a hard time putting an outfit together, I’ll ask Feng for help. When I was younger, Trisha would be my stylist. I remember I would pick something up off the rack and she would give me a look and I would immediately put it back. But now that we don't live together, I found a replacement.

So here’s an outfit he put together for me. I found these super comfy pants and couldn’t decide what to pair them with. He went through my clothes and picked out a few items to highlight the pants. What do you guys think?

The Men of Old Hong Kong

When it comes to fashion in Hong Kong, people more often try to blend in, especially those from older generations. While strolling the streets in town, I came across a few old men with quite the outfit! Check em' out, along with the cool shops in the area.

Happy Labor Day!

It's a good day for...

It was sooo hot and humid this weekend in LA, hitting 97F on Friday. It's supposed to get worse this week and continue in the 90s! So I figured, what a great time to bust out some comfy overalls and eat some ice-cream! I found these overalls in a random store on Melrose. I love how it's super light weight and not made of jeans material! 

As for the ice-cream, it's actually gelato. My good friend introduced Talenti to me when she came to visit and that's the only kind I consistently get now. Have you ever tried Talenti? If not... YOU SHOULD! I got all my friends hooked! You can get it at almost every grocery store - Ralphs, Whole Foods, Target... If you don't know which one to start with, try the Caramel Cookie Crunch (to die for!)!!!

Good Eats in LA | Baco Mercat

Feng and I ventured to downtown LA and ate lunch at Baco Mercat. The food is as good as they say it is on Yelp! haha.. Although we only ordered three dishes, all the other ones that passed us looked delicious. My favorite is the Caesar Brussel Sprouts. Feng isn't the biggest fan of brussel sprouts but the caesar really helps take away that brussel sprout taste that people don't usually like.

Love this gold door!

caesar brussel sprouts - pecorino, anchovy, garlic

pickled vegetable salad - dill, yuzu, white soy vinaigrette

el pollo - chicken escabeche, lebni, zhoug, confit pork

We were so stuffed we took a stroll around the area and stumbled upon ...
