Our cabin out at Spirit Lake is actually a part of a housing development that started in the 1920s. The Tesemini Outing Club started out as a club for the Spokane elite; the families would make outings out this beautiful setting on Spirit Lake. I can only imagine the fashions that were involved for eachContinue reading The Outing Club
My Mom’s Cowboy Boots!
It’s kind of a long story. Basically, for the 4th I asked my mom if I could borrow her cowboy boots. She brought out these, and I was shocked they were a new, studded style. I was wondering where her original old pair were….that’s when she told me she gave them to me. I wasContinue reading My Mom’s Cowboy Boots!
Packing 101: Road Trip Uniform
We just finished a fabulous road trip that started in Seattle and took us on the 101 Highway down to San Francisco. We stopped in Portland, and then meandered along the Oregon post and stayed in Seaside, and Bandon. Once we got into California, we wondered through the Redwoods, stayed a night in Healdsberg, andContinue reading Packing 101: Road Trip Uniform
Northwest Layering
Currently I’m on a road trip with my family along the Oregon Coast. June is not really considered summer quite yet in the Northwest with all the rain (it’s raining in Bandon, Oregon as I write!)–by August the entire area will be sweltering in heat, but that’s a month I rarely see in this areaContinue reading Northwest Layering
Sunsets in Stanley
We’re almost outta here for our summer! This Friday morning the kids and I fly out, and then Kevin will follow next Thursday. We have a great summer planned ahead of us: time with family in Seattle, a road trip that will take us through Portland, the Oregon Coast, the Redwood National Forest, and SanContinue reading Sunsets in Stanley
Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
One of the really cool things about writing this blog and “Getting the Best Out of Hong Kong” is sometimes I get invites to different events happening. This last weekend Found the Sound there was a sidewalk concert held outside of Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay. After a hot day that included both kayaking andContinue reading Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
Summer Shorts
I feel really hopeful about this summer. I could be jinxing myself….but I feel like it could be a really nice summer out at the lake. Usually when we go home to our lake cabin in Northern Idaho, I’m in a pair of cozy Uggs through all of June and parts of July, but thisContinue reading Summer Shorts
White Sundress
With outfitting Gigi in a white dress for her First Holy Communion, it meant I had my eyes peeled for the perfect white dress each time I went out. It’s only predictable that I found one a sundress version for myself; I liked the bohemian flow to this one. Paired with my little brown bootiesContinue reading White Sundress
Thank You J.Crew!
J.Crew is now in Hong Kong! We have all been able to purchase J.Crew online since they will ship to Hong Kong, and we’ve all been able to visit the small little section at Lane Crawford, but now we can go to two very distinct J.Crew stores. The woman’s store is in the IFC MallContinue reading Thank You J.Crew!
Fashion Fixation: Slip-ons
It’s been awhile since I’ve been completely fixated on a fashion items, but I want more slip-ons! I already own and frequently wear three pairs of slip-ons: I’ve got my black and white checkered Vans, my leopard skin, and my perforated white ones. Yet, I’m already on the hunt for more. They are the mostContinue reading Fashion Fixation: Slip-ons
Culottes
Culottes have made a comeback. Or did they ever leave? I have had these ones forever! I can’t even remember the year I got them, but it must have been in the India year. There are two embarrassing facts about my black culottes pictured in this outfit posts: first, they are so old I’ve evenContinue reading Culottes
