I always end up pining away for one major American store: Target! Next Friday I’ll share my Target wish list, but for now, I thought I’d stop to share some Asian stores I love. I wouldn’t want you to think I was short of being to shop here in Hong Kong. I’ve found six AsianContinue reading Global Asian Stores I Love
Yesterday after work I really did get all gussied up, set out with my camera and tripod, and framed the shot for today’s post, only to realize my camera battery was dead! So today’s post basically piggy backs on Monday’s feature: the switching of my wardrobe from winter/fall to spring/summer. Basically, it’s like getting aContinue reading Last Year’s Spring Looks
Last week during my respite at home, with the help of Lucile, our housekeeper, I made the spring wardrobe switch. Two to four times a year I swap out clothes, and it’s really quite fun: basically it’s like getting a whole new wardrobe. Like this dress for example–I got it at the end of theContinue reading The Spring Wardrobe Switch
1 | 2 | 3 4 | 5 | 6 There’s nothing quite like getting a haircut to raise one’s spirits. On Wednesday, I finally left the house and headed to the salon. I always use Pinterest for hairstyle inspo. This time around, I typed in “asymmetrical bob.” I presented Aman, my incredible hair stylist,Continue reading Pinterest Hairstyle Inspo
It’s May Day! These pictures were taken a week or two ago–before I went in for surgery last Friday. I can remember the sun was out–which has been quite rare these days in Hong Kong. I have special coupons from my daughter: on my birthday she gave me these wonderful coupons for photoshoots (four ofContinue reading May Day
This blue floral dress is the other item I had tailor made for myself in Hoi An. The red floral dress was displayed on a mannequin outside of the store. Once I entered the shop however, I could see all sorts of super fun fabrics. My eyes instantly gravitated to this blue floral print; IContinue reading Tailored Blue Floral Dress
Lately, I’ve been writing posts pining away for a visit to Targé (click here for posts 1, 2, and 3), yet to be honest, I never go for want…Asia has so many amazing beauty products! I’m always trying new ones, and I definitely have many beauty products that have become daily staples. With a littleContinue reading Beauty Products Found in Asia
Hoi An, as mentioned in this post, is famous for its tailoring. Basically every other store is a tailor shop and even when you walk into say an eyeglass store, there are tailors in the back sewing. (This is example is true; it happened to Kevin.) Much of what is seen on the mannequins outsideContinue reading Tailored Red Floral Dress
Festival season is on! Therefore some festival season outfit ideas are needed. I love attending music festivals–Hong Kong’s major music festival, Clockenflap, usually occurs during the month of November. (Here are my outfits from 2017 and last year’s 2018.) Basically, regardless if you’re attending a music festival in Australia, the UK, or the USA, thereContinue reading Festival Season Essentials
Target Wish List for April It’s just about the middle of April, and therefore it’s time for me to head over to Targé and make a wish list. It’s basically therapeutic; shopping at Target relieves just a bit of the homesickness that always occurs about this time of year when spring break is over andContinue reading Target Wish List for April
There is a very predictable purchase I make during our travels. I seem to always pick up a beach bag (or two!). Not only do I buy them for myself, but I also tend to pick up another two for my sisters. A beach bag found in an Asia beach area is always going toContinue reading Beach Bag Buys
My family and I just spent an amazing week in Hoi An, Vietnam. Our days began with delicious Vietnamese coffees and chocolate filled croissants, followed with bike rides to and from town, then afternoons lounging at the beach, and finally evenings ending with walks and dinner in the lantern lit town. Each day was spentContinue reading Hoi An, the Lantern City
