Heavily intoxicated on cold medicines, the day was spent in the newly rising fashion central, “Garosugil 가로수길” and the surrounding areas in Kangnam where all the rich people live, shop, and play (or those who like to “look rich”). What I wore on my way to Korea couple days ago (minus the belt and...
The hubby and I took a day trip down to San Diego yesterday. San Diego is a beautiful city full of palm trees, breathtakingly gorgeous beaches, parks, artsy little stores, and good eats. Above two pictures were taken at a popular dining spot at La Jolla (btw, Jewel City is its nick name) called...
You are probably saying, “Wait.. didn’t she wear this in the previous post?” Yes, you are correct, but only partially. I have a different jacket and shoes on, which makes a whole world of difference. Trust me, you can transform an entire outfit by just switching up outerwear and/or shoes. Give it a try!...
The weather in California is unbelievable at the moment. I had to ask myself again and again whether this really is California. I felt like I was reliving my geeky days of New York when my umbrella almost flipped. On rainy days like this, doesn’t a cup of freshly brewed latte sound dreamy? Here’s...
Hubby and I decided to go on a short road trip to Monterey (which is about 400 miles from where we live) and on the way there, took a brunch break in Santa Barbara which is often referred to as American Riviera. It’s a beautiful, artsy city with numerous cute cafes and restaurants by...
Situated on a quieter side of Melrose, Hatfield’s is one of the 10 best restaurants in America 2010 by Bon Appetit. Every dish is impeccably executed both presentation and taste wise- a must try! Can’t remember the exact name but it had cous cous and crab meat. I liked.. not only because it was...
a great late night drinks/tapas spot with delicious food and sleek decor. Be sure to check out their happy hour menu- if I recall correctly, everything was under $10! Mac & Cheese- found it interesting that they used Penne instead of Macaroni French Fries- they taste like pringles with fresh parsley! Highly addictive. Butter...
Checked out the popular joint a few weeks ago. Yes, that’s an egg shell. don’t ask me how they do it… Paella-style Pasta. While it had the strong flavor that I was looking for, it was definitely too salty and strange for me. Well, I just had no idea that they would stir fry...
I know, I know… I’m behind schedule. I was finally able to drag my lazy butt (and broken foot) to the computer to write this overdue post on my Vegas trip. Sorry! I’m actually having some issues with my broken foot for which the doctor has ordered bed rest for a month. It’s hard...
Since when were the vegetables more expensive and fancier than the meat? It always boggles my mind to see these veggie cuisines priced higher than those made with meat. See, in my motherland Korea, meat is still uber expensive and when I lived there (which was roughly 20 yrs ago) it would cost us...
