Haute Design: My bedroom
I’m back! I was in Chicago for work, but now i’m back to blogging. My design aesthetic for my bedroom is clean, simple, and serene. Lots of straight lines, and shades of grey, white, blue and beige. I’m a total minimalist and absolutely hate clutter. The problem with this is that it can appear a ...

Haute Love: Mr. Saint Laurent
I got an email from my uncle last night, with the subject: Fits You, Jean. I didn’t realize how obvious my adulation for YSL is. I think this is such a cute illustration of YSL’s quote, and it’s also positive thoughts for our body image. My uncle is not a fashion fan, but clearly, he ...

Haute Look: Cold in Italy
The recent cold weather in LA had me thinking about my last trip to Europe. Luckily the weather was still good when we went there, although some days it did reach 0 degrees C. Packing winter clothes is such a nightmare…sweaters, coats, and boots take up so much precious luggage space. However, that didn’t prevent ...
