One of the best outfits is pairing winter with spring. That’s what the weather was like in India, and soon around the Northern Hemisphere, we’ll all be pulling out our cutoffs to pair with our blushing sweaters. I promised this week on the blog would be filled with this blushing pink color, and I’ve heldContinue reading Blushing MaharAnnie
This week has been MaharAnnie week. But, if I’m honest, I don’t really need to be in an idealic location like Rajasthan to believe I’m a princess. Basically it’s a mindset for me. I mean, I’m not overly spoiled, but my husband and my family treat me very well. I am definitely a clothes horse,Continue reading Forever MaharAnnie (And Ways for You to be a Princess Too!)
There is an important reason why we chose to travel through Rajastan during our most recent trip to India over our winter break: I always feel like a princess there. I’m serious! Yes, it’s beautiful, and the people are very, very kind. Rajasthan is also filled with tons of history and packed with culture. TheseContinue reading MaharAnnie
So, we were packing up to go to Jaipur tomorrow morning–early, like 4:30 am. Our flight leaves at 5:50. As we were packing, Gigi, came up to me first: Here, Mommy, you’ll need this. Then Vincent followed, And you’ll need this one too. And then Kevin, Here have this one also. They each had pickedContinue reading MaharAnnie’s B-day Gifts
Ok, ok. I returned to blogging with some overzealous vigor. There is no way I can commit to posting each week day as proven by this past week. I made it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but Friday’s post is being written and published on Saturday! I definitely need to lower my personal blogging expectations.Continue reading Shopping My Closet for Fall Trends 2019
I’m back in my Urban Jungle, Hong Kong. I love Hong Kong dearly, and I really feel for its people right now. Many of you wonder if we are ok in Hong Kong. Are we safe? The answer, for now, is a wholehearted YES! We are very safe in our Southside neighborhood of Stanley. WhereContinue reading Urban Jungle
It always makes me sad when it’s time for a new passport. I love my passport, my well-travelled passport. It has so many stamps and visas in it; my passport has even had pages added to it, TWICE! I’ve been all over Asia on this passport, and I hate to give it up. I becomeContinue reading Time for a New Passport
Just on Monday, I stated that summer is over, yet the yearly uniform that I consistently wear of a white top with denim remains in high rotation. Whether it’s a t-shirt and cut-off jeans, a white sweater and denim skirt, or a white flowy dress worn open with Levi’s, pairing a white top with denimContinue reading Same Same But Different: White Top with Denim
When Zara no longer had this little mini dress, I picked it up at Shein. I’m still trying to figure out this brand….I do love it, but I don’t understand how they have all of Zara’s products. Looking back on this past fall and winter, I will admit it: I’ve had a real thing forContinue reading Looking Back–I Definitely Have a Thing for Velvet
For some reason, after flaunting all around India pretending to be a princess (a search of “MaharAnnie in my blog’s search box will prove this), I found this month’s Fab 40s theme to be difficult: we were to style ourselves as fairytale princesses. Sheela is our romantic, and I do love her so. I’ve beenContinue reading The Fab 40s are Fairytale Princesses
I knew for my two week trip through Rajasthan that the perfect book to read would be The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundaresan. I had already read this book while living in India–and the sequel too, The Feast of Roses. Both are so beautiful depicting the life of Mehrunnisa and the love story–no triumph mightContinue reading The Twentieth Wife
Last night, at the ASB Ball 2009, I won the Grand Prize: three nights at the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur! Looks like MaharAnnie will be going back for another fabulous weekend in Jaipur. Here’s a preview of the palace:
