Because let's face it. While shit like <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/vinyl/43/217/90701.html"><b>this</b></a> is the obvious choice for DJs, it's NOT. CUTE. AT. ALL. And can ruin a perfectly good outfit. I currently shlep my stuff in this awesome <a href="http://store.billykirk.com/store/product/207PBC">BillyKirk</a> bag that my friend Eric gave me for my birthday. And then a few weeks ago, the Phillip Lim 31 Hour Bag came out, and I was like this is it. This is the perfect DJ bag. I started looking at more designer totes to see if there were any options that fit my criteria. My criteria by the way is as follows:</div><div><ul><li>Dimensions must be at least 13" tall x 13" wide, to fit vinyl records in it. The deeper the better, because I'm also toting around a laptop, adapter, headphones, needles, back up hard drive, candy (yah.), as well as my normal purse contents.</li><li>Zip top enclosure is preferrable.</li><li>Must be able to hold a lot of weight. (The Proenza Schouler PS1 did not make the cut because of this important point.)</li><li>And really it should be low maintenance, because DJ booths are sometimes small dirty pits of discomfort. White suede should never been considered, no matter how cute it is.</li></ul></div><div>Here are some options I found, the Phillip Lim one being the one I super covet the most.</div><div><br /></div><div>Phillip Lim</div><div><a href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/664/rszphilliplim31hourbag.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; "><img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/664/rszphilliplim31hourbag.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 582px; " /></a></div><div>Alexander Wang</div><a href="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/87/rsz2alexanderwang.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/87/rsz2alexanderwang.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Celine<br /><a href="http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/8003/rszcelineclassictote.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 583px;" src="http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/8003/rszcelineclassictote.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Mulberry<br /><a href="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9227/rsz162466indl.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 459px; height: 689px;" src="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9227/rsz162466indl.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><u><br /></u></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><u><br /></u></span></div>Givenchy</div><div><br /><a href="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/457/rszgivenchynightingaleb.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 485px;" src="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/457/rszgivenchynightingaleb.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">This is also my way of justifying a designer handbag purchase.

We answered some questions, gave them a tour of our hood, let them peek into our closets, and ended the day with a feast at Vanessa's Dumplings! Overall a fun fun time. Read my Q&A below, and then check out more photos of our digs over at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://himys.com/archives/louise-sam">How I Met Your Style</a>.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tell us a little bit about yourself.</span><br /><br />I’m a DJ and a fashion publicist in Brooklyn, by way of Los Angeles.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How’d you develop your personal style/become interested in fashion?</span><br /><br />I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy, and I think that my personal style has always been derivative of that. Five years ago I was heavily into sneakers and streetwear. Over time my style has softened and prepped up a bit. I’ve traded in a lot of my kicks for heels, but it is still heavily influenced by menswear. After a huge closet haul two years ago, I became more discerning about timelessness and quality, and adopted the mantra “buy less, buy better.” I threw out a bunch of cheapy, ephemerally trendy pieces, and started to build a wardrobe of solid classics. I think I’m almost there!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Latest inspiration?</span><br /><br />New York City. I moved here a month ago, and it has challenged me (in a fun way!) to be creative with the pieces I have. Layering, packing a handbag efficiently, heavy fabrics, and snow shoes are all things that I now think about when getting dressed in the morning. I never had to think about things like thinsulate and Uniqlo Heattech before moving here. Because of the climate, I’ll find myself combining my existing pieces in new ways. Finding ways to look cute without freezing my toes off has inspired me to look at my wardrobe in a different way. I kind of love it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Favorite stores/brands/companies?</span><br /><br />Stores: La Garconne, Opening Ceremony, Creatures of Comfort, Madewell, J. Crew, Honey in the Rough, Mohawk General Store, Ten Over Six, Assembly<br /><br />Brands/Companies: Proenza Schouler, Intelligentsia coffee, Something Else, Rachel Comey, Gabriela Artigas<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What else do you enjoy besides fashion?</span><br /><br />Music music music. And I also enjoy putzing around my kitchen for 10 minutes looking for something to cook, then going out to eat. Making dinner reservations is one of my greatest life skills. Fromage and charcuterie boards, I also enjoy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are your next steps? (next projects?)</span><br /><br />I want to focus on producing music. I also want to learn how to cook and not be such a hazard in the kitchen. Come over next time, and I’ll know how to make you an edible casserole or something!samantha duenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737890960316262130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643813810159655418.post-18335567054607373892012-01-18T11:37:00.000-08:002012-01-18T12:02:53.240-08:00So Super Baked Carrot French FriesYou know what's better than French fries? Putting carrots in a French fry outfit and tricking yourself into thinking that you're eating French fries.<br /><br />I learned about this awesome little recipe from <a href="http://becauseimaddicted.net/2012/01/recipe-baked-carrot-french-fries.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Geri's</span></a> blog, and it looked easy enough.

I SAID HELL YEAH. HELL YEAH. And it's not all shitshow-ish during the day like it is for dinner. Their fried chicken sandwich is to die for. Not to mention their lobster rolls and shrimp toast. Plus any place where you get to drink water out of mason jars gets automatic cool points. <br /><br />Another tip: Son of a Gun stays open super late on the weekends, which makes it a good gourmet alternative to your typical tacos, dirty dogs, diners.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8829/img4961j.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8829/img4961j.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5650/img4962z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5650/img4962z.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/2758/img4963rw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/2758/img4963rw.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Son Of A Gun<br />8370 W. 3rd Street <br />Los Angeles, CA 90048 <br />(323) 782-9033</span>samantha duenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737890960316262130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643813810159655418.post-85931166549319711352012-01-18T11:14:00.000-08:002012-01-18T11:18:02.205-08:00Kauai<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2120/9ccafb3437c111e19896123.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 550px;" src="http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2120/9ccafb3437c111e19896123.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/1526/c027d1dc37bd11e1abb0123.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 550px;" src="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/1526/c027d1dc37bd11e1abb0123.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/2793/de5a60ec37be11e19896123.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 550px;" src="http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/2793/de5a60ec37be11e19896123.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3958/51aa63dc37bd11e1abb0123.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 550px;" src="http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3958/51aa63dc37bd11e1abb0123.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>samantha duenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737890960316262130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643813810159655418.post-40913416276868769322012-01-11T16:20:00.000-08:002012-01-11T17:32:42.000-08:00So Super Boursin, Pancetta, and Mushroom Stuffed ChickenOne of my new year's resolutions is to stop playing around and learn how to cook ONCE AND FOR ALL. What that means is that if I'm going to learn how to cook, you're all coming with me. I'm going to document this culinary journey whether you like it or not. I'm making my friends cook with me, and I'm forcing people to eat what I make. Are we clear? Good, let's continue. :)<br /><br />I've been prowling around the internet looking for recipes...some of my favorite fashion haunts like <a href="http://becauseimaddicted.net/">Because I'm Addicted</a> and <a href="http://www.milkandmode.com/">Milk and Mode</a> have strong culinary content, and I've made some new discoveries like <a href="http://www.sodelushious.com/">So Delushious</a> (Okay how cute is Chrissy Teigen, I mean really.)<br /><br />Since I'm always either in the middle of breaking one diet or about to start a new one, I've been looking at low-carb recipes, and I found a good recipe for stuffed chicken on the aforementioned So Delushious blog of Chrissy Teigen. I modified it a bit, replacing the bacon strips with pancetta and diced mushrooms. Also this recipe yields 4 servings instead of 2. Check out my recipe below, and be sure to check out Chrissy's <a href="http://sodelushious.com/2011/12/07/boursin-and-bacon-stuffed-chicken-breast/">here</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So Super Boursin, Pancetta, and Mushroom Stuffed Chicken</span><br /><br /><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts<br />2 pkg. Boursin cheese<br />1 pkg. Pancetta<br />8 slices prosciutto<br />10-12 crimini mushrooms<br />1 lemon, juiced<br />Salt and pepper<br />2 cups chicken stock<br />10-12 cherry tomatoes<br />1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other stuff needed:</span><br />1 Deep pan<br />Metal spatula or meat tenderizer<br />Saran wrap<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/2715/img4952rd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/2715/img4952rd.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>So. First, pour yourself a glass a wine, because we're about to cook and we need to get through this.<br /><br />Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Now lightly oil the bottom of a deep pan. Okay. Onto the chicken. Rinse the chicken breasts, then place one piece of the chicken breast on top of a piece of Saran wrap. Cover it with another piece of Saran wrap and pound it lightly with the back of a metal spatula to make it super thin and flat. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Once that's done, spread the Boursin cheese generously onto the chicken breasts. Sprinkle pancetta and mushrooms over the Boursin cheese.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4964/img4953f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4964/img4953f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Now, roll from the short side in. Wrap two pieces of prosciutto around each chicken roll, making sure not to overlap too much. Place into lightly greased pan. Season with lemon, salt and pepper. Check out my sous chef in action! Lemoning (yes I've decided this is a verb) the chicken rolls! From my experience cooking (all 5 minutes of it), I've found that it's helpful to have a capable sous chef. It also helps if he/she is really cute.<br /><a href="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2424/img4954u.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2424/img4954u.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Okay good! Almost there! Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the pan and drop in your cherry tomatoes. Place the pan on the middle rack and bake for 55 minutes.<br /><a href="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8595/img4956zj.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8595/img4956zj.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Spoon the stock over the chicken every 10-15 minutes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1892/img4957ch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1892/img4957ch.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And 55 minutes later, boom.

I made a spinach/arugula salad to go with it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7001/img4960f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 413px;" src="http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7001/img4960f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We did it!

Here it is. All my must haves.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">1. Clare Vivier messenger tote - My favorite bag, simple silhouette, goes with everything.<br />2. Muji planner & pen - I'm an old-fashioned girl, I love handwriting my appointments and to-do's. Muji pens are the shit.<br />3. Steven Alan make up bag - Some essentials inside are Aveda tinted moisturizer, Carmex lip balm, Nars Orgasm blush, Clinique creamy eyeliner pencils, Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and some sort of flavor of the week lipstick. I rotate frequently between Nars Heatwave, and Nars Honolulu Honey.<br />4. Karen Walker sunglasses - These augment any outfit. They also hide your face during hangover brunches. Very important.<br />5. Comme des Garcons wallet - slim, compact, the best. Because do you really need ALL of your gift cards, pennies, and pearl tea punch cards with you at all times?<br />6. Jo Malone cologne - My favorite scent is Nectarine Blossom. Smells super light and clean. Boys love it too, hehe.<br />7. Apple iPhone - DUH. It's usually not in my bag, but rather STUCK TO MY HAND.<br />8. Zico - Instant refreshment. It's my favorite brand of coconut water. Not gonna lie, I think it's because of the branding/packaging.<br /></div>samantha duenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12737890960316262130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643813810159655418.post-77158739670535532192011-12-20T09:23:00.000-08:002011-12-20T09:25:48.860-08:00Miss Lily's<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7956/img2143lb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 411px;" src="http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7956/img2143lb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8164/img2142x.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 411px;" src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8164/img2142x.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/5335/img2144j.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px; height: 411px;" src="http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/5335/img2144j.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Go and whatever you do, get the cod fritters.
