Style LookBook: November 2025


It still feels like autumn at most — those late summer days when the heat slowly fades in Los Angeles — so I’m not quite ready to embrace winter. Staying true to my vibe, I curated a sophisticated look that whispers fierce.

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...

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.

Slow Cooked Gochujang Chicken

Image
Created while I was developing a Dakdoritang (Korean spicy chicken stew) recipe for a slow cooker, this dish isn't anything like the stew that I had set out for. Although the ingredients of this delicious chicken dish are certainly Dakdoritang, the flavor and texture turned out unlike Dakdoritang. The thick sauce clung to the chicken drumsticks while the flavor intensified as it slowly cooked for four hours. Not what I intended to develop, this Slow Cooked Gochujang Chicken turned out big in flavor. Sometimes, what we get turns out to be much more interesting than what we intended. INGREDIENTS eight chicken drumsticks, skinless and bone-in one cup of pee-wee potatoes a half cup of sliced carrots a half cup of gochujang a half of yellow onion, chopped a third cup of chicken broth a quarter cup of soy sauce three tablespoons of minced garlic two tablespoons of diced ginger four slices of jalapeño two tablespoons of granulated sugar one tablespoon of paprika one tablespoon of spearmin...
