Fall & Evergreen FAshion
Farmer's Market Haul
This morning, after doing yoga, the kids and I headed over to the farmer’s market. We’ve been waiting for good weather to grab some peaches and after three thwarted attempts, we woke up to sunshine and immediately headed out the door lest we miss the opportunity due to another swift summer storm.
A Work at the Café Look
Jerry Seinfeld has a bit about people who work in cafés on his Netflix show, Comedian in Cars Getting Coffee. I am that person he is making fun of. I like to work in a café even though I have an office/studio at home.
A Woman’s Choice
Just weeks before Roe v. Wade was overturned, I was watching the Seinfeld episode where Elaine dates this great couch-moving guy and is devasted to learn that he doesn’t support abortion.
Grief & Jokes
I find myself in a period where death seems to gravitate to me. And not in a close encounter with the loss of my life, but as an invitation to finally properly grieve.
Takeaways: Timothée Chalamet’s Historic Vogue
Timothée Chalamet is the first guy to grace the cover of British Vogue so of course I need to have this issue in my collection. And I need this win because I couldn’t get my hands on the Philippines Vogue maiden voyage issue last month.
October Comes to a Close
I can’t believe we’re approaching the end of October. How are you doing? As an illustrator and mom, my anxiety peaks at about this time of year. I’m juggling holiday prep, anxious to get ahead of the shopping, and I’m mentally preparing for last minute holiday commissions.
What Makes a Home?
We’ve been wanting to move to Chicago for a year now, but things haven’t quite lined up yet. So we have to wait. It’s tough to wait for something when you know it feels right.
Immigration Anniversary
This summer marked the thirtieth anniversary of mine and my parents’ immigration to the United States. Inay has now been in the States longer than she has lived in the Philippines. I am the exact age Tatay was when he immigrated. My daughter is now the age I was when I immigrated. Time is bizarre, the now and then.
