Small closet organization tips by popular LA style blogger Alicia Tenise

Get To Know Me

Well, Hello There!

Hi there! Alicia Tenise is a Los Angeles-based fashion, lifestyle, and travel blog written by me, Alicia T. Chew (that’s right — Tenise is my middle name!)

As a 30-something everygirl, I like to focus on all things attainable: I’ll show you what you should invest in and what to save on to make the most out of your wardrobe, home decor, and vacations.


Who’s That Girl?

Alicia is a Washington, D.C. area native who recently relocated to sunny Southern California. She attended Virginia Commonwealth University and graduated in 2013 with a degree in Mass Communications. After graduation, she pursued a career in the marketing industry.

Alicia launched her blog after interning in New York for NYFW as a way to keep connected to the fashion industry. Since its start in 2011, Alicia Tenise has been named one of the top D.C. fashion & beauty Instagram accounts to follow by Washingtonian Magazine, highlighted on Essence Magazine’s website, interviewed by The Washington Post, and was featured by ELLE Magazine in their April 2017 issue.

After a few years of working in the marketing industry for various media and software groups, Alicia decided to take her passion project, Alicia Tenise LLC, full-time. In addition to blogging, Alicia has also spoken on various panels and led workshops at conferences to teach others how to succeed in the influencer industry.

Her first book, From Harvest To Home, releases in August 2022.

When she’s not blogging, Alicia enjoys taking dance classes (her mother put her in ballet at the age of 3), scoping out the hottest new restaurants in town, and taking spontaneous road trips.

New on the ‘Gram

Moments from the @omnilacosta resort ☀️ It was Moments from the @omnilacosta resort ☀️ It was an absolute pleasure to stay at one of Southern California’s most iconic resorts!

Things to know:
❤️ The Omni La Costa Resort is located in Carlsbad, CA (north of San Diego, minutes away from Legoland and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park!)
🧡 Don’t miss a spa treatment here. It is easily one of the best spas I’ve visited in the country! Get a custom massage, and plan to stay for lunch at their Spa Cafe (and hang by the pool!)
💛 Very family-friendly resort (they have a kids' play area and a giant water slide!), but there are plenty of spaces for adults to escape if you’re traveling without kids (like us!)
💚 Multiple restaurants here, but we enjoyed fresh seafood at Vue and cocktails at Bar Taza (need to come back to try everything!)
💙 Other amenities include two championship golf courses, tennis courts, eight pools, a beach shuttle, and more!

SAVE this post for your next SoCal trip, and let me know in the comments if you’ve ever visited Carlsbad! 📸 by @foodphotographer

Not a knock on mamas out there (I have nothing but respect!!)— women should feel empowered and decide how they want to plan their families however they see fit! 💕 

wearing this gorgeous robe from the new @blaireadiebee x @lakepajamas collection — a BIG congratulations to Blair! Fun fact: Blair is the very first fashion blogger I ever followed back in 2011, and I’ve loved seeing her thrive over the years!! Congratulations on creating a beautiful, maximalist PJ collection of our dreams!

THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpa THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸

After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!

Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation 
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!

My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]
