Style LookBook: December 2025

Image
December’s StyleLook arrives draped in timeless elegance—an ode to black, chic sophistication with a whisper of old-school glamour. Think Breakfast at Tiffany’s reborn for the modern woman: poised, refined, and effortlessly dressy. This is the kind of look that moves seamlessly through the day, commanding presence in the office before slipping, without missing a beat, into a dinner party where style truly matters. Classic silhouettes, luxe textures, and a hint of vintage allure come together to create a wardrobe moment that feels both iconic and entirely now. December never looked so polished.

Chaos Among Serendipity

Image
Chaos. It’s a fitting word for the times we’re living in. Everything feels like it’s happening all at once. The federal government is shut down. Grocery prices are through the roof. The job market is sinking, and the housing market is completely unhinged. I read somewhere that utility bills are about to spike, too. Meanwhile, here in Los Angeles, it still feels like summer—despite the calendar insisting it's almost November. Climate change, anyone? Racists are confused about geography. Just a reminder: Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen. Enough said. A basic grocery run now costs me around $100—and that’s without a bottle of Champagne. Businesses are still trying to navigate the ever-shifting tariff landscape. Is Trump still changing the rules on that? Journalists have handed in their press badges at the Pentagon. Universities are refusing to sign the Trump administration’s new federal grant pact. Has any school actually agreed to it? Meanwhile, in Souther...

Pollock Roe Pasta

Image
Fermented pollock roe, Mentaiko in Japanese and Myeongnanjeot in Korean, is a common ingredient in both countries. Growing up, I was not a fan of fermented pollock roe but was told that it was good for me. According to Google AI, my Mom did not lie. They are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamins E, B1, B2, A. They also have roe phospholipid, which benefits brain cognition and mental health.  Ceramic bowl wheel-thrown and glazed by me. Fast forward to recent years. The first time I had Mentaiko Pasta was at Pasta e Pasta by Allegro in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles,  as a mature adult. I was reluctant to order it since I wasn't a fan of fermented pollock roe. I couldn't wrap my foodie arms around the flavor but was too curious to pass. My curiosity turned out to be a blessing since I fell for Mentaiko Pasta's layered flavors of sharp savoriness and buttery creaminess. The saltiness from the fermented pollock roe enhanced the spaghetti while the cream sauce curved to balanc...

Style Curated: November 2025

Image
’Tis the season to get cozy — effortlessly. While I count my blessings to call Southern California home — blissfully free from blizzards and snowdrifts — I find myself savoring the subtle shift in the air: the gentle rain, the golden light, and those perfectly chilled days that linger between 58° and 68°F. For November’s Style Curated, sweaters take the spotlight. Chosen for their timeless sophistication and effortless ease, they capture the very essence of the season — a graceful balance of comfort, texture, and understated chic. More than just a layer, the sweater becomes a statement in softness and style.
