This morning I woke up to rain; I swear I was away from the window for no more than 10 minutes and when I returned it was snow. What to do with the moody weather? Cozy up in bed with the laptop, watch TV, and eat macarons.
Though honestly, the macarons from Bisous Ciao were really not good. First, the batter was inconsistent, and second, the buttercream and jam fillings were overly rich with very buttery consistency and oil.
Spring?

Fall skincare
For my skin, the fall months come as a shock; less sun, less moisture, more wind and low temperatures, it can’t help but break out as a result of overcompensating oil or cracking skin. In response, I’ve developed (and update) a skincare regimen that doubles as “ER” and maintenance. I completely stand by this season’s […]

Sprinkles, the May 7th sneak peek
Last Saturday I attended the sneak peek event for Sprinkles Cupcakes (which officially opened yesterday, by the way), and let’s just say I was very thankful for sending in my RSVP; there was a long line down Lexington, and even those who arrived and were on the guestlist had to wait about half an hour […]

Clips from IDENTITIES 2011
The delay in uploading video should serve as one reason why I need a new Macbook Pro; my poor five-year-old (and counting) cannot process AVCHD, mostly because it doesn’t know what AVCHD is. 2nd Annual Leadership in the Arts Award recipient Anna Sui “Nudity, Electricity, Purity” by Margaret Min, Dae Lim, Elston He

IDENTITIES 2011
It felt great to be back in this familiar setting — this time, as someone watching from the front row (across from Anna Sui and Bryanboy — nice). Of the fashion shows on campus, IDENTITIES tends to stay truer to the meaning and purpose of one, and with this year’s event sponsor MCM, it presented […]

So, the breakdown of the worst and best dressed at the Oscar’s. For kicks, let’s begin with the worst and work our way towards the best. That way once we finish, our lives still have hopeful agendas. Worst dressed: 1. Cate Blanchett, in Givenchy Haute Couture I like the softness of the lavender, but sorry, […]

REVIEW: At the Golden Globe’s
Let’s take a look at who wore what and fashion highlights of the event. 1. Natalie Portman, in Viktor + Rolf Although lovely and sweet, the mommy-to-be made a poor choice with shiny, easy-wrinkle fabric. Light colors like pink are difficult to appear slim in; now combining textile and body shape, her spotlight for Best […]

LOVE VS
Last night I figured, To hell with self-esteem, I’m watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show! Now, there’s absolutely nothing practical or “ready-to-wear” about the show, but we’re left in awe and mesmerized by the imagination, artistry, extravagance — what have you — of this annual event. Taking place in New York this year, the show […]

Oh no! Bisou Ciao are probably my favorite macarons in the city, though I haven’t had them in a few months. Bummer!
