I always wear at least one evil eye. Sometimes, I will wear multiple–maybe one around my neck, a ring, maybe a bracelet, or perhaps some evil eye earring. Guaranteed though, I always have one on. I have many superstitions; although I’d like to call them beliefs. The evil eyes I wear comes down to anyContinue reading What’s with the Evil Eye?
I wanted to celebrate on Monday: the 7th of May is the day I became a mom 16 years ago. Therefore, to add a little glam to my librarian look, I went for my sparkly Star Wars tee and my striped sequin mini. Granted, this skirt may be a little too short–I was constantly makingContinue reading A Librarian Look–Star Wars and Sequins
I can’t remember which French style book it was, but one of the messages I learned about has really stayed with me: always wear a black bra with a white shirt. I know! It’s contrary to American ways which would most likely opt for a nude bra that wouldn’t show through at all. But, theContinue reading Wear the Black Bra
So many times, we women, well I probably shouldn’t speak for all of us, but I think it’s safe to say… we can be pretty tough on ourselves. In vanity especially I’d say women have a hard time loving what they have. That’s why when I saw this t-shirt about claiming to “be your ownContinue reading Be Your Own Best Friend–Making Lists
I couldn’t decide between Monday and Wednesday’s librarian looks this week, so I’ve included two for this Friday’s post. I actually really liked the librarian looks I wore on Thursday and Friday as well, so maybe those will become repeats in the remaining days of school–although probably not. Now that I’ve pulled out my springContinue reading Two Librarian Looks–Couldn’t Choose
The summer countdown has officially started! We celebrated a day off yesterday for International Labor Day, this past weekend I transferred out wardrobes, and the summer heat has hit Hong Kong. So, yes, the summer countdown is on! Being a teacher definitely has perks–summer being one of them, and to be exact we have 30Continue reading The Summer Countdown
“Culottes, culottes for sale, fifty cents a culotte!” Silly me, but for some reason the famous children’s’ book Caps For Sale came to my mind for today’s collaboration with The Fab 40s. I used to read that book to my kiddos over and over, and they would laugh at those silly monkeys every time. IContinue reading Culottes, Culottes for Sale: The Fab 40s in Culottes
So many times–like both Monday and Wednesday’s post, I style an outfit, take the pictures, edit them, and then post them here. These styled posts allow me to tell some stories or share some thoughts–like Monday’s post on parenting, or they allow me to try out a look–like Wednesday or create a styled story forContinue reading A Librarian Look–What I Really Wore To Work
Sometimes while I’m shopping, I’ll get this great idea for an outfit. Then when I get home and I actually put everything together, I’ll think to myself, “Does this even work?” Point in case is this over-the-top polkadot and gingham look I’ve styled. Granted, I have not worn this outfit out and about or evenContinue reading Does This Outfit Even Work?
Even my feelings have feelings! It’s true; they do! When I saw this t-shirt, I had to have it. It literally spoke to me. I could relate to the sentiment so completely. Maybe it’s because I’m a Pisces—one of the zodiac signs that portrays a lot of emotions, but perhaps they all do…. Regardless, itContinue reading Even My Feelings Have Feelings (and Some Thoughts on Parenting)
Spring is here! And for once in Hong Kong, spring is lasting longer than a week! Usually, we’ll have one amazing spring day, and it will feel like the next day the weather skipped all the way to hot summer. But touch wood–spring is here in Hong Kong, and it has been lovely! During ourContinue reading Spring is Here!
I’m a list maker. I love making lists. So, in an attempt to mix things up a bit, I thought I’d start sharing some of my lists here and there. First though, what will today’s list be about….? La Vita é Bella of course! For non Italian speakers, this means “Life is Beautiful!” Each oneContinue reading La Vita é Bella–Making Lists
