Today I want to make a happy list. With everything so uncertain, it seems like something that can lift my spirits. I can remember the day I took these pictures: I wanted to wear sequins but in a casual way. This made me happy. Then, as I set out with my tripod and camera, theContinue reading Make a Happy List
Who cares about puff sleeves during a pandemic? I mean really! Here I am in my cute little puff sleeves, but does it even matter? I mean most of us are completely freaking out inside. At least I am. I’m bombarded by so many questions all the time. They might be different from yours, butContinue reading Who Cares about Puff Sleeves during a Pandemic?!
I’m going to take a break from serious writing and celebrate a new hashtag movement that’s underway: #dressupfriday. With everyone staying home not to mention working from home, loungewear is on full repeat for most individuals. This is all good and as it should be. Making ourselves comfortable is and should be a priority duringContinue reading #dressupfriday
So much has happened in a week; I can hardly believe it. We are definitely living in an unprecedented time. For Hong Kong, our numbers doubled in one week. Last Sunday we had stayed at a solid 140 coronavirus cases for weeks. Then, with an influx of people returning to Hong Kong, we doubled ourContinue reading Schools are Closed, but We are ALL Learning
It’s official: Covid-19 is a global pandemic. As this scary, dystopian-like fact has stumbled into being over the last few days, I’ve been watching silently, knowing I best share my experiences. I can remember at the end of January, we were just hearing the news… I’m not an expert by any means, but with scaryContinue reading Living During Covid-19
Why oh why do things have to come and go? And do I even care? When it comes to tie dye and acid wash, I really don’t. I love both of these washes, so regardless of whether this trend is “in” or not, I’ve been wearing both tie dye and acid wash because I likeContinue reading Tie Dye and Acid Wash
This is not meant to come across as an arrogant blog post, but I’m telling you: get a hairstyle that gives you compliments! Recently, I started wearing my hair in a straight bob. Boy, I hadn’t received this many compliments on my hair in ages! It was honestly so odd, but once a day IContinue reading My Straight Bob
Oh Lordy! Usually my remote control setup that I affectionately call “Remota,” works for me. I find a nice complimentary wall in my neighborhood, set up my tripond and camera, connect my phone and camera, and I’m ready to shoot. I’m able to look at the phone, see the shot, click, and two seconds laterContinue reading Remota and Me: How I Take Photos of Myself
The other day I was in the middle of a conversation with a girlfriend, and she mentioned that she had attended an Oscar party. Rather than ask what she thought of the winner for best picture, I went straight to what I thought mattered most–what did she wear to the party!? She said she woreContinue reading A Black Velvet Suit is a Closet Staple
Long ago, in 1992, I was leaving for a year to study abroad in Florence, Italy. My sister gave me the nicest, most thoughtful, going away gift: a silver St. Christopher medal. It was engraved and everything. (I can’t seem to remember the message, but it was definitely special.) St. Christopher is the patron saintContinue reading St. Christopher, Protect Us
I have a very wonderful friend named Caron. She is the epitome of a classic beauty: with her tall and sleek stature, waist length strawberry blond hair, and both flawless figure and face, she’s a glamorous woman to admire. And, she’s my friend! A really good one actually. So I know her beauty runs deep.Continue reading The History of My Wrap Coat
I figured it was about time I share how I choose books to read. I am a librarian after all; lucky for me, books happily occupy much of my day. I’m always reading some book, often two, and I usually have an audio book that I’m listening to as well. I try to expose myselfContinue reading Goodreads
