Rain boots are never something I’ve considered having in my wardrobe, but with the absorbent amount of rain that Hong Kong receives, I think it’s time to add a pair. For example, today on August 14th, we’re supposed to have our first day of school, yet Typhoon Utor is passing through, so there’s no schoolContinue reading Time for Rain Boots
My Zara Skort
I’m a very thrifty shopper. It’s actually a fault: I always go for quantity over quality but as I grow older (ha!), I’m trying to reverse that mindset and go for quality over quantity. I’m getting somewhere! For example, the Zara skort…. I rarely spend $50+ for an item of clothing, and I especially don’tContinue reading My Zara Skort
The Zara Skort
Before the summer ends (officially tomorrow with the first day of school), I thought I’d get this post up. It looks like I wasn’t the only one enjoying the Zara skort this summer. Here I rounded up a few of my favorite fashion bloggers’ take on this super summer essential from Zara (it might still beContinue reading The Zara Skort
A Night at the Auberge
Again, we drew out of the Hong Kong jar this summer, and a night away was pulled. While we had intended on going to Macau, it was seeming overly crowded to us, so instead we opted for a new “inn” that had opened in Discovery Bay this last March. The Auberge is beautiful! It was worthContinue reading A Night at the Auberge
It’s a Jungle Out There!
One of the things I truly find so amazing about Hong Kong is that both sides, north and south, are both jungles. One, the south side where I live, is all natural with sandy beaches winding the way, islands sparkling in the sea, and steep green mountains filled with trails for hiking. Then, simply cruiseContinue reading It’s a Jungle Out There!
NARS Lippy
I have a sweet, dynamo friend back in Spokane (yes, Kristen, I’m speaking about you!) who shares a similar passion for a great lipstick. We always swap our secrets. This summer I expounded on my new found love for NARS lipsticks. Below I have categorised their six MUST HAVES! Lipstick Ladies! Which color and brandContinue reading NARS Lippy
[16 yr old] Rehearsal Dinner Dress
I love this dress! I have owned it for 16 and 1/2 years. My mom and I went to Seattle together at some point during my engagement to Kevin. It was during this trip that we walked into BCBG (at that time it was still on the street and not in it’s current location atContinue reading [16 yr old] Rehearsal Dinner Dress
Farmer Girl in Mon Kok
When Vincent saw what I was wearing on the day we went to investigate bearded dragons, he said I looked like a “farmer girl.” Well yeehah! I decided to live it up in the middle of Mon Kok’s streets! (I’m actually not that tall, but don’t I look like I’m towering over these two littleContinue reading Farmer Girl in Mon Kok
College Bound [If]
The other day on a walk, Kevin and I ran into a graduate that I just love. She’s heading off to college this August as many new freshman university students are, therefore it prompted this wistful, nostalgic post. If I was going off to college, and if I had some money to splurge on backContinue reading College Bound [If]
Fully Vested
I finally made it to TopShop in Hong Kong. Yay! What a treat! It’s not as if we were short of shops of course, but the addition of this UK trend setting store is a welcome addition for all us HK shoppers! I admit to feeling overwhelmed, so for my first purchase I limited myselfContinue reading Fully Vested
Hong Kong Money
We have many activities to fill our Hong Kong portion of the summer. (In fact we have a jar full, but more on that later….) One of the first things we set out to do when started our summer vacation in Hong Kong was to try and venture to the top of the IFC building.Continue reading Hong Kong Money
Ferry Fashion
Dressing for the ferry rides in the Northwest is tricky. You never know exactly how cold it will actually be, therefore scarves and layers are extremely important! Luckily if the sun is out, you can bask on deck and warm up–eventually taking off each layer at a time. I wonder how many times these ZaraContinue reading Ferry Fashion
