ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Meet Marino
Meet Marino. He’s my new car. Inside, he’s a soft cognac leather, like a football, and outside he’s marine blue, like the water dolphins swim in. I know, not everyone names their car but I think it adds more personality. And I’m sure not everyone matches their car the day they pick it up. But I’m not everyone.
I turned a navy tunic (to match the exterior paint) into a dress by layering a lace skirt underneath and tying a lace ribbon as a belt. My buttery soft Bender bag matched the interior. To celebrate, one of my best friends made pizza from scratch. Today was a good day.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Farmer Chic
When worn under a skirt, American Apparel’s spandex dress acts almost as shapewear. It certainly made me feel better in my linen skirt! I initially layered with a cardigan but since I always wear cardis, I switched it up last minute with a button-down. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies, when Amber in Clueless says of Tai, “She could be a farmer in those clothes.” Granted, no farmers I know wear ruffles and pumps but the shirt certainly gave my outfit a country feel.

ttF Fashion Diary: Pre-Oscar Puppy Brunch
Considering it’s going to be a long evening dishing about Oscars fashion and beauty I wanted to have a relaxing morning. So my mom and I took Bunny and Bear (my mom’s Golden) to meet my best friend Shauna and her pup, Simba, at Sunset Plaza for brunch. It was such a beautiful day I wanted to stay outside forever. But alas, I had to get my green tea latte from Starbucks and head to the office to get ready to critique the red carpet.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Golden Buttons
When I checked the weather this morning, it said a high of 60. Perfect, I thought. I can wear my yummy cashmere turtleneck. It has these gold buttons that run down the side of the neck, giving it a slight military feel.
But Mr. Weather.com was wrong and left me overheated on my walk to Ralphs during my lunch break. Today was the only day I was thankful that our office air conditioner is on overdrive.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: In the Navy
I still didn’t feel that great when I woke up but I couldn’t show up to work in a sweatshirt and leggings. This cable knit sweater is as comfy as a house robe but doesn’t make me look like I rolled out of bed. And a pretty pair of heels always puts a smile on my face.

ttF Fashion Staples Series: White on the Wharf
Happy 2010! I’ve been celebrating New Year’s in San Francisco so you’ll have to excuse the quality of these pics taken on my Blackberry. Today wasn’t the best weather so I brightened the gray skies with a cream cashmere turtleneck and white three-quarter sleeve coat. It matched perfectly with my delish bread bowl of clam chowder and the new pearl I found in an oyster at Pier 39.
