I love Christmas. Basically, I consider myself a Christmas Elf. I think I have some of Santa’s blood in me. And yes, I wholeheartedly believe in Santa; I have my entire life and will for the rest of my life. When my parents attempted to tell me differently when I was around 10 years old,Continue reading Time for Some Christmas Holiday Style
Monday was casual Thanksgiving, and Tuesday was dressy Thanksgiving which leaves last but not least, my fancy Thanksgiving look! Fancy calls for sequins! I love sequin jogger pants, and admittedly I have been wanting a pair for sometime now. When I saw this pair at Zara, I didn’t hesitate to click XL and send themContinue reading Fancy Thanksgiving
While we definitely don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional sense, the expat community definitely celebrates: by Monday evening of Thanksgiving week I have already been to three Thanksgiving meals! Then, on the actual this actual Thursday, we will all be traveling to Taipei, Taiwan to watch Gigi play basketball. I think we’ll manage to getContinue reading Dressy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is this week! Are you ready for some Thanksgiving outfit ideas? Cuz I have them for you!! First up is a casual Thanksgiving look. Then I have a dressy Thanksgiving, and I’ll finish with a fancy Thanksgiving. Which category of Thanksgiving does your celebration fall under? Oddly, living overseas for 20+ years, Thanksgiving hasContinue reading Casual Thanksgiving
Overall, I’d say my outfits all week were rather boring. On Monday and Tuesday there were no students, so I went for comfortable in jeans. Then Wednesday, I over did it on the comfort by trying out my new off-the-truck leather joggers. Thursday was a homerun–it was such a great outfit that I turned itContinue reading Style Stories No. 22: Rather Boring OOTDs
A couple of weekends ago, Kevin and I were able to go out, like on a date. Usually we manage to go out and about on the Hong Kong town pretty frequently, yet, because of the ongoing protests occurring throughout the city, the frequency of date night has lessened considerably. I was so excited thatContinue reading Feeling Flirty
Usually we wait until the Friday after Thanksgiving to put up our tree. However, this year, we just needed a little holiday cheer, so Sunday night we put our tree up a whole two weeks early. It makes sense: the kids are home more often than not lately due to suspended classes. Why wouldn’t weContinue reading Christmas is Coming Early This Year
This week–despite its harrowing turn of events causing no students at school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday–I decided to wear slip skirts. I own four, so one of them was doubled up. There’s something odd about a slip skirt for me… I can’t quite put my finger on it. I just usually feel a little awkwardContinue reading Style Stories No. 21: Slip Skirts
It’s hard to imagine that this lovely past Sunday we spent it at the beach with friends. I’d like to imagine everything is fine and dandy, but the truth is Hong Kong is in dire straights right now. I’m not very political, and I don’t plan to be, but if you pray, please do soContinue reading A Fall Beach Days
I LOVE the items I pick up at secondhand swaps. For example, these Zara boots, still on sale on the site for $114, I picked up for under $13!! And they had never been worn; they were basically brand spankin’ new! To add my personal touch to them, I swapped out the black laces andContinue reading Style Stories No. 20: Combat Boots All Week
Recently I purchased this boho floral dress via a Google image search. Yes, I used my research skills to shop. Hey, what can I say? I’m a good librarian! Now, let’s see how well I can explain the search in order to teach the process. The first thing needed is an image. I remembered seeingContinue reading Shopping Via Google Image Search
Tuesday at work/school was a Halloween costume dress up day. As I was getting dressed, I thought to myself, “Hmmm, what could I wear?” Then I remembered Krystal Bick mentioning dressing as the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and I thought, “Duh! What an easy way to dress!!” I’ve got a couple of full midi skirts plusContinue reading Dressing Like Mrs. Marvelous Maisel
