Celine & Colette


Bag: Celine Luggage Tote (Visit your nearest Celine store)
Photography by BShim of Bashful Captures
Just goes to show you that one amazing bag can make any outfit (no matter how fancy or silly).  This Celine and Colette combo reminds me of the Cosmopolitan Hotel campaign,  "Just the right amount of wrong".  Doesn't Colette look like she belongs in this Celine Luggage tote?

Side note, I'm in some serious need of amazing weather.  The current weather in NYC blows. Gross.  Jean

Wear it like Man Repeller

Speaking of parody t-shirts... Check out this one from Man Repeller.  True LOL moment!  Unfort I cannot sport profanity as well as she does.  Major girl crush.
Just a moment while I finish up my next post.

Celine Trapeze





Bag: Celine Trapeze. Skirt: Alice & Olivia. Boots: H&M. T-Shirt: Michael Agwunobi. Photography: Jim Lee.

Celine has been killing it with their bags.  I usually don't obsess over "It" bags, but I love their colorblock Trapeze.  It's minimalist with just enough edginess to make it feel current.  The only thing is that EVERYONE - Kate Walsh, Alessandra Ambrosio, Khloe Kardashian, just to name a few - seems to be carrying one now.  Fortunately, I'll probably never run into any of them on my way to work on SF MUNI.  Fashion crisis averted.

xoxo, Linda

P.S. How awesome is the Celine parody t-shirt by Michael Agwunobi?

The Perfect Parka




Coat: ASOS  

I've been obsessed with finding the perfect winter parka and finally found this on ASOS for an affordable $149!  I love the rich color, flattering cut and length, gold-toned hardware, detachable fleece lining, and fur trimmed hood.  It sold out once before so get yours before they're all gone!

For Christmas, Andrew bought me this amazing Alexander Wang jacket and hooded scarf.  Of course I had to share with you what it looks like!  Am I warm? No, not really. Is it worth being a bit cold?  YES!
Talk to you soon cousin, Jean

Conflicted: February 10

Prabal Gurung for Target
I struggle between purchasing "one expensive but timeless piece" or "several affordable and trendy pieces".  Prabal Gurung is teaming up with Target with some amazing looks for wallet friendly prices this February 10.  Always love an edgy and fun outfit but should I just hold off and save my money for something else?  Maybe some new Isabel Marant white high tops? Hmm..
I'll be back to show you my coat later this week.  Stay tuned

Cocoon Coat






Coat: MaxMara (sold out). Boots: Moschino (similar here).  

It's finally starting to feel like winter in San Francisco which means...COATS!!!

I've been eyeing this MaxMara cocoon coat ever since I saw it on the runway and waited, and waited, and waited before it finally went on sale at Matches.  Seriously, I'm having a f**king MaxMara heart attack right now (a la Rachel Zoe).

How are you staying warm?  

xoxo, Linda

I am a "Moto" poser!

You rocked those white DL1961s so well.  I would have spilled something on them immediately.
Love the "moto" look in the magazines but not sure if it works on me.  I'm leaning towards- no!  Where did I got a helmet? It is actually a snowboarding helmet! Hah...
Hopefully next week my outfits look more authentic!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!

Channeling Emmanuelle Alt





Blazer: Zara (old). Shirt: J.Crew (similar here). Jeans: DL1961. Boots: IRO (sold out). Bracelets: Forever 21. Photography by whathelenworetoday

Confession: I've been style stalking Emmanuelle Alt.  Her Parisian moto / rocker chic style is edgy yet classic, not to mention deceivingly hard to replicate.  

Asian Emmanuelle Alt?  Um...not even close, but here's to trying!

Bon dimanche!  Linda

Sequins, Leather & a Tutu Oh My!



Sequin Corset Top: Alice and Olivia, Leather Belt: Stefanel, Tulle Skirt: Baby2BNashville

Are you surprised I chose sequins, leather and an adult tutu for NYE?  Prob not! I wanted to take some test pictures outside but pretty sure I would have scared all my UWS neighbors and had to take it indoors. Last picture was the final look... What do you think?

Very excited to blog with you this year... but from the east coast! (quite possibly the best coast)...

New Year, New Blog!





Dress: L'Agence. Necklace: Lizzie Fortunato. Bracelet: J.Crew (similar here). Shoes: J.Crew (old)


Happy New Year from San Francisco!  I'm so excited to kick off the new year with our new blog!   

The weather's been amazing the past few days, but it was not amazing the day I took these pics in my favorite LBD.  Rain is not my friend.  

What did you wear for NYE?

xoxo, Linda
