Stair-down

What sounds more picturesque than climbing to the top of the Math and Sciences building on campus at sunset while sitting/standing on a rusty staircase while wearing culottes? All sarcasm aside, culottes have recently become my go-to piece for many reasons (I like to think of the culotte as the boyfriend jean’s cool uncle). They…

Dust Yourself Off

In high school, I always envisioned my 20 something self as “Katie: The Young Working Professional.” A typical day? Me serving a look in a pinstripe pantsuit, holding some sort of overpriced caffeinated drink in one hand and a manila folder in the other. Inside that folder? Obviously copies of the excel spreadsheet I tirelessly worked…

Keepin’ it Hunnid

This past week in LA was an absolute mess. From 100 degree heat and me feeling like a literal ball of sweat, to low 60’s and that weird wet thing that falls from the sky (we socal people do not really understand the concept of rain), my fashion choices have gone from 0-100 real quick….

___밥 (aka Hello Junior Year)

There’s a saying that with each year of college, you resemble a different type of 밥 (rice): Freshman Year: fresh, new, hot 밥 (everyone wants some) Sophomore Year: cold, stale 찬밥 (outdated, boring) Senior Year: reheated, ready-to-go 누룽지 (back & better than ever) I always forget what type of 밥 juniors are… is this an…

VVIP

Brunch & Bougie

I spent this past summer in LA as a intern for a PR agency on Melrose (how picture-esque does that sound), which meant all my friends from back home were forced to come and visit me (mwahaha). Kelly came for the weekend, and needless to say it was the most basic weekend I’ve ever spent…

DNCE DNCE Baby

DNCE is one of my favorite artists. Why? Their guitarist is the ultimate girl crush from South Korea (@JinJoo진주), their songs are total summer boppers, and Joe Jonas may or may not be my favorite Jonas Brother. So when Sara & I were invited to the VMA Pre-Show this past Friday (featuring Noah Cyrus, Bebe…

VMAs What’s Good

This past Sunday I was given the opportunity to cover the red carpet at MTV’s iconic Video Music Awards (VMAs). Red carpets are always funny given that pre-show press is like one big machine. Stars line the carpet, take photos, then (if they choose to do so) make their rounds to their preferred press outlets….
