I’m probably the last person in the world to buy Carine Roitfeld’s book, Irreverent. I should’ve bought it during Fashion Week and asked her to sign it. Hello — someone is selling an autographed copy of the book starting at $400 on eBay (or $1,500 with a buy-it-now price).

It’s no secret that I’m one of those people who often go to the same places over and over again. I’ve been to Los Angeles thrice in the past year so after awhile, it gets a bit tiresome. Rumi and I contemplated whether we should stop by the Getty Villa (yes, Getty as in bajillionaire Getty family) before hitting the Pacific ocean. After much coaxing from my end, I’m glad we did. Where else to wear Versace (ok, fine, even it’s Versace x H&M) but a real villa? Even if it belongs to someone else. Hah!

Behold the most comfortable garment I own in my whole life.
While Rumi looked for kitchen knives at Target the other day, I raided the boy’s section for possible clothing and prop options. It’s my second time at Target and I’ve always been curious about their fashion offerings. Plushy pyjamas aside, I found this hysterical sleepsuit for $12.99. I’ve seen people in America walk the streets in their precious velour tracksuits, so I thought, why not take it to the extreme and prance around the streets of Los Angeles in my super comfy sleepsuit?

Sometimes, it’s important to never let emotions get in the way of taking a photograph. A few minutes before these photos were taken, Rumi and I were both on the verge of crying and panic. She left her keys inside the car, essentially locking us out. Our wallets, money, and suitcases filled with clothes were in the back of the car and it was freezing cold. You have no idea how thankful we were to the powers that be that Rumi put my phone in my new neon yellow backpack (which I bought at Flight 001 earlier in the day) otherwise we’d be trapped in Malibu. Who needs hot, rugged, stubbly American surfer boys when you have a tow truck driver from AAA come to your rescue?

As part of my effort to improve my health (and more importantly, to downsize my figure), I’ve decided to embark on a vegan/vegetarian diet. It’s very easy to do this in health-conscious Los Angeles where tons of vegan cafes thrive and flourish. Rumi brought me to one of her favourite places, Cru, for lunch. I had a small cup of soup and zucchini “spaghetti”, which, I must say, for no more than 100 calories for the entire bowl, is quite filling. I couldn’t help but update my vegan friends in New York with my progress. They’re very proud of me. I think I’d be proud of myself though once I become lean and fit into sample sizes once again. Haha! ;-)

Rumi and I spent the afternoon roaming around Melrose and La Cienega. Went to the Book Marc store to buy Carine Roitfeld’s book, Irreverent, dropped by Theory to pick up this cool chevron sweater I saw in New York earlier this week. Also bumped into my friend Ceci who works for Max Azria. My Saturday afternoon couldn’t be more complete.

I’ve been to a handful of places around the world and no other city has the same effect on me like Los Angeles does.

Sometimes I love it, but most of the time, well, I don’t. I always cringe whenever I’m faced with the prospect of going but once I’m here, everything turns out to be OK. Part of the reason why I can’t stand the place is the fact that I don’t know how to drive.

It’s always nice to see something unexpected. I swooned over this pair of denim overalls at Urban Outfitters the other day. It was on sale so I had no choice but to buy it. It was less than fifty bucks! I know I’m the last person to wear something like this… but it’s so fun!
