Favorite recent purchase? Rachel Zoe wide-leg denim that I stumbled upon at Goodwill while searching for Halloween costumes
Favorite body part? My eyes!
What store poses the biggest 'max-out your credit card' risk? Any discount-type store like Nordstrom Rack because I feel like I'm saving so much I lose my marbles and grab ALL THE THINGS.
Favorite cosmetic brand? Bobbi Brown. I mean MAC. I mean Bobbi Brown.
Summer or winter? Summah! All day 'er day!
Weirdest place you've made whoopie? A garage...? During a blackout?? Eek.
Fashion role model? KATE MOSS. If I'm ever in an outfit rut, I Google her ass and scam her style.

Favorite and least favorite thing about being a (WC) wife?
Favorite is that I can get my vitamin d year-round and wear winter-wear as accessories (like, boots with tanks and scarves with shorts). Least favorite is there is always a new way to improve yourself and the maintenance can become overwhelming and unreasonable!
Meet the Wives
Meet us- Tuyen and Jeanie. Great friends stumbling through life trying to figure out marriage, family, and career while struggling to keep it together, sexy and most of all skinny in this crazy bubble known as Southern California. How does a first generation Vietnamese American from the 'burbs and a Kansas City hometown girl Keep up with the Kardashians?? We don't. From faking it at home to faking it in the streets here is a glimpse of life as a West Coast Wife, the first world struggles and joys that only Southern California has to offer. Living here with Chanel taste and a Forever 21 budget, where ladies spend as much on their gym passes as they do on their medspa memberships, has made us two creative and resourceful chicks. Join us with an open mind, some thick skin, a snarky heart, and a fat glass of wine as we blog our faces off and share our advice and opinions (we certainly have a few!) along with our adventures in fashion, food, fitness and fun . Thanks for visiting WestCoastWives!
