Jean, I'm loving the patriotic look on you! 

So despite the fact that it's 60 degrees in San Francisco (brrr!), I've managed to soak up a ton of sun these past couple of weeks.  All courtesy of ridiculous heat waves during my trips to NYC and Vegas (105 degrees!).  Tip: Vegas in July = NO BUENO.  It's a rancid hot pot of heat, humidity and cigarette smoke.

Hope everyone is staying cool (or warm if you're in SF)!

xoxo, Linda

Happy Belated July 4th!

Cousin, loving the red dress-- I remember not having to convince you on that purchase!  The only red I can wear is probably in accessories--- like a vintage belt in these pics.  

I was hoping to post this for July 4th but with all the summer festivities, I'm a tad late.  OOPS!  I can't say that this is the best July 4th outfit (since I would stain this white dress immediately with my hot dog and burger fixings) but I'm sure I'll eventually find a summer event where I can wear this to... 

Maybe if I paired it with a big ole hat it could be Derby friendly for next year?  Yes-- who doesn't love a custom Derby hat?!?!?!?!?!  Potential for a great blog post!

Sizzling in Red (Literally!)

Guess where I am?  Back in NYC!

The weather's been amazing, albeit sweltering.  Most days call for as little clothing as possible, which for me means tank tops and short shorts.  But what little summer gear I brought got worn out quickly (not to mention sweaty, ew).

Fortunately, I packed my favorite summer dress by Haute Hippie.  It's bright and makes me feel like I'm floating on air.  And if tomato red wasn't bright enough, I added a small pop of color: neon yellow sandals by Alexander Wang.

Ah...don't ya just love summer!  I sure do!

xoxo, Linda

1 timeless DVF Print. 1 Amazing photograher.  1 Perfect family.  
Absolutely LOVE these pictures and I feel like if Hal-myun ee saw these, she would be so proud.  Don't you agree?

I wonder how she would feel about me biking around the city in her vintage white Ferragamos.  EEK!

Workout Gear You Can Wear Out

Did you see how much air I got?  If only I had learned to played basketball...I could've taken my talents to South Beach.  

Let's talk about workout gear.  Thanks to brands like Lululemon and Adidas/Stella McCartney, women's athletic apparel which was once dowdy and dull is now fashionable and high-quality (= high end).  To which I say "AMEN!"

Some may balk at the price tag - $78 for a pair of basic black leggings - but you'll get more than your money's worth.  I wear my gear EVERYWHERE: Bar Method, Soul Cycle (thanks for getting me addicted, cousin), the supermarket, to run errands, on the plane, lounging around at home, etc...  My new hoodie is already broken in after NYC.  I got it for a steal at the net-a-porter sale and highly recommend you check out what's left before it's gone!
