Style LookBook: September 2025

Chaos! That is the word that has been resonating with me in politics and at work. Fortunately, it is easy to put distance with them. I can't save the world. I can't vacuum toxicity. All that I can do is not let all that chaos creep into my space while I live my life with all that truly matters. 

Simplicity was the primary motivation in curating pieces for this Lookbook. Neutral tones fluidly connect the look to an effortlessly chic draped cowl-neck top by Ganni and a pair of jeans, a casual icon, from Gestuz.

Style LookBook: December 2025

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.

Kara Age (aka: Japanese Fried Chicken), Inspired by Chef Morimoto

Image
I love fried chicken! While I believe Koreans do fried chicken the best, Japanese fried chicken certainly makes the top five. Easy to make at home, this recipe has been inspired and tweaked from Chef Morimoto's Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking . INGREDIENTS serves four one and a half pounds of boneless and skinless chicken thighs, cut into biteable pieces two eggs one cup plus two tablespoons of cornstarch two tablespoons of sake one tablespoon plus one teaspoon of tamari one tablespoon of minced mints two teaspoons of cane sugar one teaspoon of minced garlic two garlic cloves four shishito peppers vegetable oil, enough to submerge two chicken pieces In a mixing bowl , lightly beat two eggs. Add sake, tamari, sugar, garlic, mints and two tablespoons of cornstarch, and mix until the sugar dissolves. Add the chicken and cover to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three hours. Heat a wok over high heat and add enough vegetable oil to submerge two chicken pieces. E...

Cilantro Chili Sauce

Image
The blender was already out on the counter, liberated from its usual spot on the shelf, and half a bunch of cilantro lingered from my Piri-Piri recipe testing. The stage, also known as the kitchen counter, was set. So I figured: why not? A few minutes of tinkering later, a vibrant green chili sauce came to life. This little burst of flavor confetti goes well with just about everything, but be warned: it’s highly addictive spooned over warm basmati rice. Consider yourself warned. Just blend all the ingredients listed below in a blender.  INGREDIENTS a garlic clove a half bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped a serrano pepper a red pepper a shallot, halved a lime, juiced a half cup of extra virgin olive oil a half teaspoon of salt, plus a pinch or two more to taste a Calabrian cherry chili pepper (from a jar)

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.
