Breakfast with Luxirare
One of my new years resolutions was to let you guys in on my life a little bit. I think one of the most intimate moments during the day is Breakfast, where you make the shift between dream state to reality. Mornings are always a struggle for me, I get up very early every day (4-5 am) to start work, and it is always dark when I start. Sleep gets in the way of getting work done, and I am the most focused between 6 am and 12 pm. After that I don’t get much accomplished.
This morning I wanted to take a classic grilled cheese sandwich and sandwich it into a waffle. It is a combination of night and day.
Black winter truffle.
For this grilled cheese waffle combo, I am using tomatoes, swiss cheese and prosciutto.
You get the jist right? I don’t have to explain?
You wonder why I am wearing sunglasses indoors when it’s dark outside? This is real, I wear them all the time because I’m in front of a bright computer screen, the glasses are a buffer.
You can add more cheese so it oozes out, but I don’t like too much.
To start my morning, a little bit of champagne, and iced coffee. Thanks for reading, more soon.
Essentials! My wallet necklace, phone, and sunglasses.

Haha this made me laugh because I too need to wear my ray ban’s indoors- to help eradicate any migraines from the computer!Also cute post…..it looks delicious!

just… stop drinking champagne for breakfast. it makes me unsure whether or not you’re actually a parody of yourself, and I would like to continue envying your life without feeling ridiculous.
don’t judge, just enjoy.
champagne in the morning! i can imagine that gives you a nice buzz to start working. it’s nice to see your studio from a bit further back, not all white and mysterious!
wow wish I could have such an amazing breakfast every morning!!
…………..marry……
I sit here reading this while eating ramen for breakfast, and feel ashamed of myself. Sigh.
such a glam breakfast!
you’re making me hungry at midnight T_T
yuh, marry me too…
You are so creative! And unique! I always fall completly in love with your photos, the way you prepare the food and the food itself of course. Thank you for sharing with us!
You look… different. Are you sure that’s the same Jin we are seeing??
No Rosie, this is JI not Jin. Nice typo >_<
i love the way you carry yourself. very hot
this is the greatest post ever!
Champagne and truffles for breakfast! You’re living the dream! I’m a horrible person, I sleep in every morning and drink half a cup of tea and have some toast or yoghurt like some slob.
I imagine an early start would be wonderful though, when the rest of the world is still fast asleep.
lovely for you to share more of the ‘you in your life’ … great breakfast … lovely pics … great accessories .. fab jacket .. you go girl!
Have a nice day! Today your photos look a little dark, they’re usually very bright.
Love Moët & Chandon
It’s incredible what you can get done before noon. I get up at 5am each day, but it’s a hell of a lot tougher this time of year, when the sun doesn’t rise till like, 10. Having a fab breakfast to look forward to helps a lot!
Wow, are those the truffles? This looks really yummy!
Fabulous!
ive always thought your house was super white / clean but i guess its more realistic to think that you do a shoot on white…walls/paper
Hmm, I notice a more “personal” feel to your blog since new years.
It feels weird, I prefer the slightly-paranoid and secretive luxirare…
Just keep posting your work, that’s why I come here.
No need to type out “you guys”.
The waffles look delicious.
Maybe she has kept it mysterious because she knew if she got personal online she’d start eating shit from random strangers online.
let her dictate the tone of her blog for gods sake. She is an artist and even if she weren’t she is a person and when people undergo changes in their personal life it is a privilege to other people to witness these changes. She is a person not a brand and even brands evolve. I love mysterious luxe but I prefer a genuine social person to a blog being kept mysterious for mystery’s sake alone.
Well said!
Very well said.
Ji, you are unfailingly fabulous, whatever direction you choose to take things in.
Thank you for letting us in on a little bit more of your beautiful life.
Well now that I’ve been scolded by the fangirls…
I haven’t been visiting luxirare’s site for ~4 years just to look at photos of her (“fabulous” as she is).
Last I checked, this was a “webzine” with a manifesto.
Sure, she can change it, and relax if you think I’m suddenly disrupting her whole plan of action.
But fans are entitled to their opinions, thank you for sharing yours.
I love the idea of making a sandwich in a waffle iron. I bought a waffle iron last year but I do nothing with it. Perhaps this post is a push in the direction of using it again. (So thank you!) (Or, at least, my waffle iron thanks you.)
It is interesting that you work best in the morning. I work best late at night. I like the privacy of the night time. There’s something about the darkness that makes me feel I am isolated + endlessly focused. Perhaps it is the same with waking up early, but I feel more under pressure in the morning, for whatever reason. (How dull is this comment? Dull dull dull.)
Wonderful post, and that champagne glass is crazycool.
There is a special grill that does this for you without all the waffle holes. I guess half the novelty of this is that you are eating “waffles”. MMM MMM truffles.
Which jeans are you wearing?
simply gorgeous.
i bet you’ve heard of http://www.waffleizer.com/ ?
I love you! I’m sorry to ask you this as I’m sure you’ve been asked a million times before, but where are your beautiful champagne glasses from? Make? Thank you!
Excessive with the truffles.
I often wonder if these recipes actually taste good to an average palette. I’m sure you’ve wine and dined in many restaurants that requires an acquired taste and your recipes, not at all, seem to call for such as well…
Hmm…
Correction, I meant to say, “…and your recipes, not all, seem to call for such as well…”
you are so charming, thanks for letting us know you more as a person
You drink champagne in the morning? That is so gangsta.
Looks delish–thank you for sharing!
I’m the opposite: I dawdle in the morning, taking my time baking bread and drinking lots of stovetop espresso, playing computer chess, working (procrastinating?) on my thesis–then I go for a run (or hula hoop around my apartment if the weather is crappy) and then in the afternoon really buckle down and do a lot more research/writing.
DAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!
try this comp program called flux. it’s free, it changes the type of light coming out of your screen so that your eyes aren’t hurt. it changes according to the time of the day, too. i can’t live without it.
I tip my hat to you for letting the blog become more personal. I hope you will not take some of the comments too personally, though.
I like your personal touch on everyday items and I think that a little bit of luxury is a great way to start the day. I do not believe in keeping the best for “special occasions” – one should be able to do something special every time she feels like it.
you start your day every morning at 4 o’ clock…. when do you go to bed? i am curious.
and btw, looks Amazing!
omg love your breakfast!
i usually wake up super early too because that’s when i function the best. just wondering… do you tend to stop functioning effectively out when the sun sets?
I’m trying to not drool all over my keyboard.
Ah what an amazing post! And I can’t believe you wake up so early.
I’m excited about your revolution, and I’ll be looking forward to more!
First time commenting on here, hello. Chiming in on the “I like the more personal touch that your blog has acquired.” Makes me feel like I’m reading the process which is infinitely more fascinating to me than just the final product. Face it, we’re all voyeurs. This is definitely a welcome change.
love the pics, so perfect

Hi Luxirare!
I completely empathize with needing to wear sunglasses in front of the computer. After 4 years of college, my eyesight has plummeted. I suggest you download an application called Flux, which tints your screen to match your circadian rhythms. Your screen will be less harsh on your eyes.
How it works: “F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. It’s even possible that you’re staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.”

Everything around you is beautiful, and you are beautiful as well.
I really appreciate you are letting us know more about your life; you don’t have to because we would still be here admiring your work, but you do and it feels really nice.
Kisses from México.
u’re home’s like the inside of the space station or something. not a bad thing, just a tad cold.
This is SOOO chic!!! The champagne is a nice touch! ;D
waffles with cheese and tomatoes and truffles, iced coffee and champagne for breakfast, wow! i wish i had breakfast like that..
I don’t like bright computer screens either, so I just turn the brightness and contrast almost all the way down
I’ve never said this to someone before. Please marry me!
Everything is perfect in harmony and loved every little detail on the pictures.
I’m as serious as a heart attack. Please marry me.
i really don’t understand why so many people seem to think “marry me” is a compliment. if i created something fantastic and someone said, “i love it! marry me!” i would just have to say, “ick.”
luxirare – the breakfast looked delicious and intriguing.
You are the coolest person alive.
I have no words. @_@
Oddly enough i’ve been obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches this week. Try cheddar and broccoli, its delicious.
yummmmmm i want some of that it looks so tasty

is that a rolex oyster perpetual datejust?
This is a wonderful blog, would you be interested in working on an interview regarding just how you created it? If so e-mail me!
