Etro & Entre Vous
Etro boots bought circa 2011 (still alive and well) I’ve been blessed in many areas of life, but one that’s always on the forefront of my mind is my friendships. I’ve had and still have many great friends that I enjoy and love deeply and consistently. It’s not easy to have, keep, or make new…

Dresses & Drama
There’s something about dresses that invite or maybe even ignite drama. We think of romance, dinner dates, weddings, proms, funerals, last dates, fights, holding hands with legs crossed, showing a knee, good parties, boring parties. But even a boring party can be an enchanting soiree with a great dress. I love dresses. Dresses are great…

Moths, Missoni & Me
A beat after the pandemic, I started curating clothes and selling them for myself and others through a 3rd party platform. I also sold luxury items directly to the larger platforms such as The Real Real (TRR). I sold vintage, gently used, designer, mid-level fashion, some fast fashion, but mostly high-quality pieces. So I’ve learned…

Women, Wit and a bit of Wisdom
Fashion “Some skirts and heels are like dating the wrong person; just because ‘you can’, doesn’t mean you should.” “Knowing how to walk properly in heels is like knowing how to sing or dance. There’s no faking it, either you can or you cannot.” -C. Nor

The period of time when I was not a mother, and my life after Ravi’s birth in 2005. I am ‘pre-Mom Christine’, and ‘Mom Christine’. And although I have many similar traits and interests, there is a through-line in our…

This is 50
This is 50. In a city like Los Angeles, and society, such as everywhere, I thought turning 50 would plunge me as many a woman today into deep depression and another superfluous $250 wrinkle cream. However, this August, I found myself entering this new decade in embrace, grace, and rather grateful. Officially turning the big…

A new February
I really don’t want to write today. I want to curl up with a 3rd cup of coffee under snuggly blankets and watch completely mindless TV shows or some odd cartel documentary from 2015. I want to distract myself from the task of formulating feelings in my mind that will transfer to my hands and…
