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.

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...

Pyrus Pyrifolia Tuna Salad Sandwich

Image
Better known as Asian Pear, Pyrus Pyrifolia is my secret weapon for elevating an ordinary tuna salad sandwich to unforgettable delight. There are various Asian Pears with subtle differences, but I use Korean Pear for its more apple-like characteristics—especially for its crispiness and subtle floral sweetness.  INGREDIENTS six ounces of canned tuna, drained zest from one small lemon four tablespoons of Kewpie (Japanese mayonnaise) two tablespoons of finely chopped Asian Pear one tablespoon of finely chopped onion four cornichons , thinly sliced one eighth teaspoon of smoked paprika Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Depending on how generous I feel, the recipe yields one or two sandwiches. The best sliced bread for me has always been milk bread, toasted, of course.

Vermont & 8th

In 2023, someone died from gun violence every eleven minutes in the U.S.,  according to data from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Center for Gun Violence Solutions . That’s roughly 128 deaths per day — about 46,720 lives lost each year by guns.  My sincere condolences go out to Charlie Kirk’s family and friends, but the news of his assassination passed over me with indifference. I felt nothing. Photo by Mick Haupt on Unsplash It wasn’t because I despised his politics, though we held starkly different views. Kirk was a prominent figure among those pushing for Mr. Trump’s return to the White House. I, on the other hand, made small contributions to the Biden-Harris campaign and Planned Parenthood Action Fund after President Biden’s devastating debate performance. Later, I donated to and voted for the Harris-Walz ticket — not because I believed they were qualified, but because the thought of Trump returning to power frightened me.  Still, my indiff...
