I look so much like my mom! It feels very odd to edit pictures of myself and totally see her. Or, I may even catch a glance of myself in a mirror and think it’s my mom. I mean I know I always have resembled her, but there’s something about me right now at myContinue reading I Look So Much Like My Mom
I’ve got a bad case of blogging block, and I have figured out why. I never did put that little black square on my Instagram feed. I didn’t and haven’t put anything to support, contradict, or even mention the #blacklivesmatter movement. Honestly I have tayed mute. I never wanted to say the wrong thing. I’mContinue reading My Blogging Block and Thoughts on Racism
Years ago–six to be exact, when I started posting my outfits versus only family updates, one of my most favorite style posts was this over-the-top Leopard Love moment.

I can remember as a young woman being in a dressing room with my godmother, Auntie Paddy. She declared immediate embarrassment over her slanting shoulders. I looked at them… then realized I had the exact same slipping away shoulders that she has. Her remedy has been to always wear a pair of shoulder pad inserts.Continue reading The Shoulder Pad Tank That’s Saving Me
This blog post is late. I let what I wrote last night sit for 24 hours, and now I have deleted it all. I’m so glad I did because it was irrelevant, so now I will be brief. My lack of creativity aside, the world is in a complete state of turmoil. Yes, I realizeContinue reading Getting Educated
I can’t remember if it was last spring or the spring before that, but somewhere I saw an off white boilersuit and regret never clicking purchase. Ever since that particular moment, I’ve had a fashion fixation on an off white boilersuit. This is my DIY on the said boilersuit. This particular jumpsuit isn’t even aContinue reading DIY Off White Boilersuit
There’s really nothing spectacular about this outfit–other than it’s a take on the Canadian tuxedo but in all off-white denim version. What is special about these pictures however is that I just received my permanent HK resident card! Yes, after living here for over 7 years, one is able to apply for residency. As we’reContinue reading I’m an HK Resident!
I am totally guilty of hopping on the DIY tie dye train! I’m so guilty that I’m here to share some DOs and DON’Ts–especially since it took me three good tries to get this perfect (in my honest opinion) yellow DIY tie dye sweatshirt. Ok, first, do not use food coloring. Even if you soakContinue reading The DOs and DON’Ts of DIY Tie Dye
I know, I know, I keep moaning about creativity and how I just don’t have any lately. But then, I realized, my whining about it has got to stop. Rather I need to do something about it. Creativity is something to work at. Yes, sometimes it’s easy and creative thoughts just come rushing in, butContinue reading Finding Creativity
What is it about the Tiger King that has the entire audience of pop culture enthralled? Sometimes, having lived out of the US for over 20 years now, I feel like I’m missing something. I mean, I’m gonna state the truth: the show is awful! Yet… it’s been a rainy spring break that turned intoContinue reading Tiger King
