Wearing all white on a boat out pulling the kids behind is an outfit I could be found in any day of the summer out at Spirit Lake. Here I’m out on the boat with the entire fam pulling them for a ski. Our mornings out here are usually spent in this manner. (In fact,Continue reading The Fab 40s in All White
Whenever I get a parcel from either Anna or Samantha, I get the thrill of receiving a gift. I never know what will be inside for the upcoming Ping Pong Post. The three of us are on our fifth round of styling a shared item, and unfortunately the thrill for me was lost on thisContinue reading Grey Tunic–PPP No. 5
It’s time to get your bomber jacket! They seem to be all the rage, so you’ll want to get one for the upcoming season. I know it’s hardly time to think about fall, but I actually did wear this bomber jacket at the start of the summer during our trip to San Diego. San DiegoContinue reading Get Your Bomber Jacket Ready!
I can’t say Rusty is our oldest friend–that’s not correct, but he is the friend that Kevin and I have shared for the longest amount of time. We met Rusty exactly five days after getting married when we arrived with him for both of our first posts overseas in El Salvador. That means Rusty hasContinue reading Panoramas and Cabin Candids with Rusty and Ted
The sea is magical to me, and the sunsets that accompany it, well, I stop to experience them when I’m anywhere near water. Water and the sunset, they keep me happy. On our recent start to Summer ’16, we had some amazing sunsets in La Jolla, San Diego. It’s rare that Kevin and I leaveContinue reading Sunsets in La Jolla
I just spent a fabulous weekend with my sisters! And style wise, I think I have finally figured something out: while I will always try to be urban chic like my sister Julie (she’s in the middle) and flowy feminine like my sister Mary (she’s on the right), it’s time I just start accepting thatContinue reading Charlie’s Angels and Some Cabin Candids
Summer ’16 is here and with it TRAVEL–one of the parts of my life that I cherish most and work hard to achieve. Here, I’m in the Seattle Airport in what I’d like to consider the perfect travel LBD (little black dress). I have two guidelines for what I wear when I travel: I wantContinue reading The Travel LBD
You’re going to see a lot of sequins during this round of The Fab 40s. We are all wearing formal during the day. This is something I’m quite used to. Since I’m on a total sneaker/casual shoe kick, I try to figure out ways to dress up this look. In fact you can see meContinue reading The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
Why wear clothing the way it’s intended? Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up! Here, I show you a DIY shirt hack in two ways: as a skirt or as a bandeau top. Both of these styles are super easy–all you need is a long sleeved button down shirt for these two DIY shirt hacks.Continue reading DIY Shirt Hack X 2
San Diego is beautiful! Kevin and I are having such fun. We’ve discovered an easy way to see all the neat neighborhoods. Biking in Coronado and along Pacific Beach’s promenade has been a cinch for me; I would have never been able to walk the amount of all that we’ve seen, but on a bike,Continue reading Biking in Coronado, San Diego–Wear Layers!
June in Hong Kong means beach time, so when it was my turn to choose something to pass around for the 4th Ping Pong Post, I chose this white maxi dress. It’s flowy and airy and see through! Gasp! But not so much so that I can still feel covered when I take the fiveContinue reading White Maxi Dress–PPP No. 4
Just this week I confessed to the chronic pain I experience in my hip, and how I still try to remain happy. One of the ways I manage each day is by wearing comfortable shoes…but what about when I need to dress up? Like, just this week I have had three rather formal events toContinue reading Dressing Up with Tennis Shoes
