This week I pretty much liked what I was wearing all week, but to be honest, I’m definitely still trying to get used to my hair. It is super short! The cut before was also short but because of all the flippy waves I think it felt very similar to my long locks. I thinkContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
SHOPBOP’S Big Event 15
Shopbop is having a big sale! Just in time for all of our spring shopping. I’ve just taken a gander and made some options–this OR that. Although that can be tough as sometimes I usually want both…Which would you choose if you had to? We have until Saturday, March 7th. Remember, the more you spendContinue reading SHOPBOP’S Big Event 15
Going Grey
My gorgeous mom On Wednesdays I write, or at least I have been trying to, so I thought I’d share my silly superstition about cutting my hair. I’m warning you it’s super, super silly. I’ve been worried that since it’s short, it will go grey. I know; there’s no correlation. That’s why I’m absurd! But,Continue reading Going Grey
Haircut #3: I’ve Got Short Hair!
Wow, short hair! I’ve done it. I’ve totally cut my hair. There’s no going back now: I officially have short hair! I’ve been talking about cutting my hair for years now, so it’s actually a relief to have followed through. I’m not so sure what I think yet…I’ll give it some time. What’s nice thoughContinue reading Haircut #3: I’ve Got Short Hair!
“K” is for Plaid {Initial Sweaters Just Go with Plaid X 2}
Sometimes there are just certain items that go together; it can’t be helped. That’s how I feel about an initial sweater and plaid–they just automatically go together. In this post I’ve taken one of my favorite sweaters (even though I find it a bit too short–I did pick it up in a HK market afterall!)Continue reading “K” is for Plaid {Initial Sweaters Just Go with Plaid X 2}
Take Me Downtown on the Vicem 80
Some days I can’t be bothered to travel via the car. The roads are windy here in Hong Kong, and since it’s the winter months, road repair is in heavy session causing traffic delays. Sometimes, I’d rather just travel by boat. Our Vicem 80 yacht from Ocean Independence is the perfect little yacht for ourContinue reading Take Me Downtown on the Vicem 80
Style Story: Dresses All Work Week Long
After a week of vacation, getting dressed on Monday is definitely Tough–with a capital “T!” Because I really couldn’t be bothered to figure out what I was going to where, plus I always feel a bit pouchy after the indulgences of a vacation, I grabbed the flowiest item in my closet. The first dress onContinue reading Style Story: Dresses All Work Week Long
Louella Odié in Boracay
I’ve collaborated again with the awesome Hong Kong label Louella Odié! The last time I traveled with a Louella Odié bag was to Shanghai over American Thanksgiving to visit my sister. This time around, this cute, little (actually decent sized), fish clutch came with me. This was the first time I had carried a clutch,Continue reading Louella Odié in Boracay
Beach Poncho Tuesday
This is the last Poncho Tuesday and for this post, I’m wearing a beach poncho. No, I didn’t know they existed either, but when I was in Boracay last week and saw this trend all over the beach, I went hunting for one. Granted my beach market version is very cheap, BUT imagine my delightContinue reading Beach Poncho Tuesday
Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
What a wonderful week! There are two great perks of being an international educator: one, vacation time! Because we’re on a school year calendar, we are always welcomed by holiday time. It is a definite perk! The other benefit is living overseas in places like Asia where the travel opportunities are plenty. This is ourContinue reading Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
Beach Reads for Boracay
The beach reads I choose for vacation are very important to me. I go through a very thorough book evaluation in order to choose just the right books for reading. Being a librarian I actually take great fun in this ritual. I search my favorite book blogs like Reading Rants, I seek out recommendations fromContinue reading Beach Reads for Boracay
Poncho Tuesday and Sequins After the Holidays
When I saw this grey cashmere poncho on a good friend of mine (yes Jane, it was you!), I had to have it. She wore it simply over a crisp white shirt and a pair of jeans. She had stunning boots on as well with the jean leg simply tucked in. Jane is chic: she’sContinue reading Poncho Tuesday and Sequins After the Holidays
