Image source My signature scent is so special to me; however I’ve been wearing the same scent for at least a dozen years. I don’t smell it on me, my husband doesn’t, nor do my kids. I think it’s time for a new scent, but where to start? The scent I’ve been wearing for theContinue reading I Think It’s Time for a New Perfume
I’m back in my Urban Jungle, Hong Kong. I love Hong Kong dearly, and I really feel for its people right now. Many of you wonder if we are ok in Hong Kong. Are we safe? The answer, for now, is a wholehearted YES! We are very safe in our Southside neighborhood of Stanley. WhereContinue reading Urban Jungle
As mentioned last week, I’d like to start diversifying things a bit over here on Kremb de la Kremb. Of course I’ll still keep up posting my outfits and style, but I have so much more to write about, so I want to tap into some of those stories and skills. For example, I’m aContinue reading Tuesdays at Target: Graphic Tees
When I was a little girl, my dad and uncle owned a 22 foot Catalina sailboat together. They kept it at the majestic and very large Lake Pend Oreille in Northern Idaho–which felt like the longest drive in the world as a kid. I don’t think I was quite ten–probably more like 8. My sisterContinue reading Monday Memories: Sailing as a Kid
On Wednesday I started writing on the Kremb de la Kremb blog again. I mentioned how intense the summer was. While it was super chaotic yet structured all at the same time, I did find the intensity rather enjoyable. Every day we had at least one game to get to–sometimes two games in a day.Continue reading Baseball This Summer
Well, summer is officially over, and it’s definitely time to return to blogging. And I say this because I mean it! Honestly, I’ve missed writing here on Kremb de la Kremb. My summer was so intense; there was no way I would have been able to keep up with posting here on my blog. InContinue reading Summer Sailing and Summer’s End
It’s that time! I’m officially on vacay! I’m guilty of not writing last Friday… and I’ll be guilty of much more. It’s time for a small break to catch my breath. I fly to Seattle tonight. Between finishing of the school year last week, celebrating both Father’s Day and Kevin’s birthday on Sunday, and nowContinue reading On Vacay
Last Wednesday I wrote about making sure I have a pair of black Bermuda shorts for this summer, and whadya know, they arrived today! The other summer trend I must have is some tie dye. Granted I already have a few tie dye t-shirts, so I’m all set in that department, but the one areaContinue reading Summer Must Have: Tie Dye
On Sunday morning, as I was getting dressed in this very wild outfit, I had a great conversation with my sister Julie. She was like, “Ann, at some point you’re just going to have to embrace that you like bold. You like color and prints. It’s your style, so quite making excuses for it!” Wow.Continue reading Bold Bicycle Shorts
I’m a people watcher, and in particular I’m always looking at what people are wearing. Recently, I saw a very chic French teenager in my Stanley neighborhood. I noticed this gal’s sneakers–of course! She had on a pair of Air Force Ones, but this particular pair were very grungy and dirty, but on purpose. IContinue reading DIY: Distressed Sneakers
Usually when I look forward to my summer, I don’t think much about what to pack. The cabin has all my necessary Idaho essentials: jeans and cutoffs, sweatshirts and sweaters, tees and flannels. There’s also a collection of swimsuits and sundresses. Going home to my cabin wardrobe is like seeing an old friend. This summerContinue reading Summer Must Have: Black Bermudas
It’s June 3rd, and we leave for our summer holiday in exactly 2 weeks. We have such a different summer ahead of us; I can hardly wait. Vincent has already started his summer when he arrived in Seattle this past Friday night. He was allowed an early departure from school, so he can play baseballContinue reading Planning for Summer 2019
