Catching Up

It has been a really good week. I’ve worked hard, but not so hard that I ran myself into the ground – an idea that is simple in theory but is very challenging for me in practice. I spent Monday in Ojai recuperating from the insanity of the last two weeks and tomorrow I leave for Big Sur for a girlfriend’s birthday weekend. I’m feeling pretty lucky right about now. And Alex and I just returned from a great date night dinner at one of our local favorites, Tasca Wine Bar. Turns out they have a dynamite happy hour (sun-friday, 5:30-7:30).

Spanish Sangria ($5)

White Anchovy, egg and tomato on toast ($3)

Fried calamari with garlic aioli ($3)

Wild mushroom risotto fritter with truffle sauce ($4)

Grilled Angus burger with Gruyere cheese and carmelized onions (8)

DELISH.

On another exciting note, Jeana Sohn and I were interviewed for the LA Weekly’s annual fashion issue. We chatted with writer Gendy Alimurung about Los Angeles’ style identity. Click HERE to read the article.
