Today was my last day at work for the 2017-2018 school year. We leave for Seattle on Sunday morning and arrive on Sunday at the same time we leave–gotta love time travel! We’ll have no problem staying up however once we arrive; we’ll be heading to an afternoon Mariners’ game! Love me some Ms baseballContinue reading Here’s to Wearing Short Shorts–All Summer Long
This week I promised short shorts all week. Here’s round two in short shorts even though I may be too old to wear them. But, I don’t care. Yes, I’m ageing, and my legs are too, but I’m still going to wear short shorts. Even older, with dimples and wrinkles, I still like my legs,Continue reading Wearing Short Shorts–A Before and After Edit
It’s true! I wear short shorts–even if I shouldn’t be. I’ve heard it said that a woman should find one thing about herself that she likes and then go with it. For me, it’s always been my legs. Unfortunately, along with the rest of my bod, they too are starting to look a bit old.Continue reading I Wear Short Shorts–Even If I Shouldn’t!
This week I had a fun party to attend with my husband, so this falls under an actual “Librarian Look.” Usually, I’ve already left for my summer vacation, but this time around, the administrative end of year dinner was this past Monday. I knew it would be dressy since it was at The China Club,Continue reading A Librarian Look: My LBJ (Little Black Jumpsuit)
Now that my favorite store, Forever 21 41, is all the way over in Mong Kok, sometimes (Ok! All the time!!) I’ll browse Forever 21 online. The sales are usually insane, I’m usually a size large, and I’ll usually put in an order that barely reaches $100 USD but is a cart chockablocked full ofContinue reading Wear Shorts Under a Short Dress
I’m a sucker for t-shirts with a message. Always. I’ve also got a bit of a uniform down: graphic tee, quirky skirt, and my sneaks. This message though about having an “Open Heart, Open Mind,” has got me thinking. It definitely speaks to me, but why? Do I really have an open heart and anContinue reading Open Heart Open Mind–Making Lists
Last Friday night, Kevin and I got dressed up for the ball–our school’s Annual Fund Ball. In my opinion, figuring out what to wear, how to style my makeup and hair, which accessories to use, well that’s all the fun of the actual ball. It’s the process beforehand that I usually prefer. In fact, IContinue reading A Librarian Look–A Night at the Ball
I think I pretty much missed the memo this time around for our Fab 40s blogger collaboration. Tales of the Unexpected…hmmm, what exactly does that mean? I spent a good couple of weeks hemming and hawing on the theme Suzy set out for this month. I had no idea what to do. Seriously, I wasContinue reading Tales of the Unexpected: A Fab 40s Post
Oh my! If I don’t like what I’m wearing I will have one heck of a day! I call this sort of day a total outfit fail. A couple of Fridays I went through an entire day with outfit fail after outfit fail. It’s as if I knew it would happen. I had packed anContinue reading A Librarian Look–Or Rather, An Outfit Fail
Oh my! For as much as I complain about Instagram, I really shouldn’t. I have made so many virtual girlfriends! I can’t even count how many virtual girlfriends I’ve made via this social media app. It’s connected me with people from all over the world. One connection I have is with @drelirium, or Andreína. ItContinue reading Virtual Girlfriends
Dragon boat season has arrived in Hong Kong–and more specifically right outside our living room window this past Sunday. On Saturday night as all the boats started arriving, we knew what was in store for the next day. Neighborhoods around Hong Kong sponsor dragon boat teams. During this time of year, the competition rotates throughContinue reading Dragon Boat Season
It’s been a bit since I added to my I love Hong Kong series. There is one place in Hong Kong that I love above and beyond all the other neighborhoods, and that is my own: Stanley Market. There is so much to Stanley, Hong Kong. Stanley is an old fishing village, and out myContinue reading I Love Hong Kong: Stanley Market
