Code Red

I have a love-hate relationship with the color red. The symbol for femme fatale, red has always been (in my opinion) the hardest color to style. Too much red and you’ll look a bit extreme, too little red and you lose out on channeling your inner ~hardcore~ chick. This holiday season, I opted to take a…

In the Trenches

I can literally date my love for coats back to the 3rd grade, when my mom bought me a red, slightly furry, oversized coat that I religiously wore throughout the month of December. Although I no longer fit that iconic coat, I decided to up my coat game this season with a grey faux suede…

Would You Like Mustard with That?

Mustard yellow. I used to absolutely despise this color, but this season mustard yellow has been making a hefty comeback. Inarguably one of the colors for this season, I decided to try the trend out with this almost-there turtleneck from Urban Outfitters. Paired with a navy skirt, this outfit is not only surprisingly comfy, but incorporates all…

OTK or Bust

OTK: Over the Knee, a cult classic in the realm of boots and other cold weather shoes. I recently got a pair of these Steve Maddens at the new Nordstrom in Century City. Not only are these boots a steal for the price, they look particularly similar to their Stuart Weitzman counterpart. Paired with a trendy…

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…
