On Wednesdays, We Wear Leather
casual curmudgeon
A few casual favorites from forever. This vintage top I acquired a few years back gives a mad forearm tan line; so, I’m getting some wears in before it gets too sunny out here – plus, always working on a sweet ankle tan (; #huckleberryaroundnyc
Side note: I need a haircut (and maybe colour) – any NYC suggestions?!
What I Wore: Karen Walker sunglasses, Current/Elliott Jeans (similar: @Nordstrom, @Matches on sale!, @Saks), vintage Marciano booties from James Rowland Shop in Berkeley, CA (similar below), vintage handmade top Pretty Penny in Oakland, CA (similar below)

Spring Silk in The City
And just when I thought I got all of the colors of Everlane’s new spring silks that I needed…they surprise me with more. What do you all think of the new blush, light grey, and acorn? Do we need to add them to our collections?
Everlane Silk Sleeveless, AA Party Pants old (similar: Wackerhaus, Cynthia Rowley), Reiss pumps old (similar: Rachel Roy, Rebecca Minkoff), Céline
Huckleberrying Around NYC: Day 1
So has passed my first full day in NYC, and I must say: this has been the happiest day I’ve had in at least the last 90 days. Not that anything particularly extraordinary happened – it was a Monday after all. A lovely, simple, beautiful Monday.
Highlights:
i. Practicing my #evachenpose (hehe) with Celine, big baby Taylor, vintage Coach & Zara sandals (similar)
ii. A sweet NYC welcome from the ShopStyle girls
iii. Alicia Silverstone in the office, dumplings from Han Dynasty, an amazing shipment of Everlane’s new summer silks, and new commuter Ked’s!
Let’s keep it up New York. I can get into this. I’m open to new adventures! Any suggestions for must-do’s as I #huckleberryaroundNYC ?!

The Last Supper(s): San Francisco Spring 2014
I am embarking on a trial move to NYC for the next few months. It’s quite exciting, as I have been talking about a coastal swap since I was around 14 – so after a decade of psyching myself out, I think I’m ready.
San Francisco will always have my heart; though, I think it’s time that I take a little s p a c e .
Naturally, being the gluttonous fool that I am, one last SF supper could not suffice… there’s simply too much food, that I love, to be eaten. So, I broke it down into 3 last-for-now SF suppers 🙂 Though New York will undoubtedly offer me copious opportunities for good eating…sometime’s there’s nothing like one’s very own comfort food faves – and having been born and raised in the Golden State, you guessed right, most of my comfort foods are home grow’d Californian cuisines:
i. State Bird Provisions – Finally! I used to live literally a block away from State Bird in the Western Addition, but I hadn’t had the patience to wait in line because let’s be honest: when I wants to eat, I wants to eat! I figured I had to try it before I left SF, so that happened.
The experience at State Bird is fun for tapas-loving-try-everything sorts of eaters like me. They have a short commandable menu that is supplemented by various seasonal provisions, which are offered dim-sum-style to dining guests. After having tried it {especially, the guinea hen dumpling with aromatic broth (omg, so aromatic – with the perfect hints of lime)}, I would definitely go back and wait in line.
ii. In-N-Out Burger, duh – Cheeseburger Animal Style, Extra Lettuce, Extra Jalapeños, French Fries, and a Neapolitan Milk Shake #nuffsaid
iii. And last but not least: Mama’s Homemade Vietnamese Food – including all of my childhood comfort food favorites like rau muống xào tỏi (hollowed water spinach sautéed with (lots of) garlic, cá kho tộ (claypot braised catfish), canh chua (vietnamese sweet & sour soup) and so much more. My mom rules. She literally cooked all day to send me off with a belly full of love. Cảm ơn mẹ, con yêu mẹ nhiều!
Thank you to all the friends and family who have been so supportive of my little transition. I have a belly full of great Cali-food memories and a heart full of love from you all to get me through the treachery of Spring in the Big Apple 😉

Blackout Wishlist
Jumpsuit Extremist
I came upon this denim boiler suit months ago and fell in love. Unfortunately, it hasn’t had as much time out on the scene as it deserves. Though, I somehow had the gall to rock it to work one fine autumn day and was dropped-knowledge upon that I was glaringly representing Canada. (For “Canadian Tuxedo” reference, please see following image of Justin & Britney).
In my real-world defense, I did not go as Canadian Tuxedo denim’d out as good ol’ JT and Britney with accessories. Rather, I opted for a simple yet solid platform pump, my trusty topknot and sunnies – and to top it all off, a custom, handmade chevron rubber band bracelet 😉
What do you think of jumpsuits in general (or especially full denim ones)?
Similar pink platform sandals: from Again&Again, Charlotte Olympia, Marni, Saint Laurent
