This bag was the perfect beach bag during my recent trip to Hua Hin over Chinese New Year. I packed in a hurry, and knew I wanted to match my beach bag, so I only grabbed black swimsuits from the swimsuit box. I couldn’t be bothered to figure out which ones suited my body rightContinue reading What’s inside my Louella Odié Beach Tote?
Traveling with Louella Odié Lattice Collection
I felt like a lady of leisure travelling with a set of three (!) Louella Odié bags from their Lattice Collection. In transit, carrying all three at once felt very chic and extremely put together. The fact that I pack with a color theme AND seem to always travel in black and white meant theContinue reading Traveling with Louella Odié Lattice Collection

If we were to goContinue reading What if it looked better on her?

Tie Your Blanket Scarf as a Skirt
Sometimes, when a trend becomes saturated–say like the popularity of culottes for example, I end up not wanting to be a part of the movement any longer. I prefer to be unique. I do not want this to come across as snobby; I just prefer being a trendsetter as oppose to follower. Regardless, I haveContinue reading Tie Your Blanket Scarf as a Skirt

Pictures thanks to I’m a Norbyah Do you have a color combo that reminds you of a childhood memory? For me, it’s black and red.
