At the beginning of each month, I’d like to post a trend or style that I see occurring around the Internet, on Instagram, or in HK. Lately I’ve been seeing a new take on the basic oversized button down shirt: the wrap and tuck. Tucks these days have gone in all sorts of directions: theContinue reading In September Try the Wrap and Tuck
While the white top of Wednesday’s post was an accidental three-time purchase, this grey sweatshirt was not. I intentionally purchased this grey sweatshirt three times. Heres why: I love it! The one I’m wearing here is the first grey sweatshirt I purchased from H&M. (It’s now available in black.) I have worn it all theContinue reading Grey Sweatshirt X 3
Oh my. I have a problem with any cute white top. Take this white top featured in this blog post. I have accidentally purchased it exactly three times! That’s quite ridiculous. I mean three times! How did I not remember? And why, when I went to return the second one, did I find a third?Continue reading White Top X 3
When Sheela called “Laced Up,” for this month’s Fab 40s theme, it was a no brainer. Of course I maintained my sartorial signature: sneakers! And of course, this pair of over-the-top, clunky sneakers have their own little back story…. I can’t remember where I first spied the Fila Disruptor last spring, but once I did,Continue reading Laced Up: A Fab 40s Post
A year ago today… WIBUT? it stands for “What I’ve Been Up To.” I’ve never done a post like this, but I always appreciate it when other bloggers so, so I thought I’d give it a try. Maybe it will become a semi regular post, but I wanted to share what I’ve been up toContinue reading What I’ve Been Up To
These days, I’ve been thinking of changing my name to The Sneaker Lady. It seems fitting–and not just because sneakers are super popular these days. In fact, I’d rather prefer if sneakers weren’t so trendy; then I could be the only one wearing them. Ever since my first hip surgery back in the fall ofContinue reading The Sneaker Lady
Usually on the first day of school, I always wear an LBD–of the black variety. But, this year, I deviated and wore a new sort of LBD–the little blue dress. With some encouragement from my sister this summer, I was told that I needed to make blue my color. Well if it wasn’t the nextContinue reading A Little Blue Dress–My New LBD
This post’s subject is going to be a little odd, but, I feel inspired to talk about some thoughts I have on a rather random topic: driving. These pictures were actually taken just after we’d received our car rental for the summer. We rented from Hertz, and thankfully they upgraded us to a Chevrolet Tahoe.Continue reading Cherries and Chevrolets
It’s Monday, August 6, and I leave for back for Hong Kong in a couple of hours. With two hours left of summer, I wanted to get these Spirit Lake summer candids posted. It was great summer. They always are. Especially when we get family time out at Spirit Lake. With my sister renting theContinue reading Cabin Candids—Spirit Lake Summer 2018
It’s my turn! And since I knew a couple of things about this July–like no wifi out at the lake alongside total lake style, I went with cut offs. Of course. I’m very typical; cut offs are basically all I wear. I’m also lazy when it comes to my summer vacation! Out here in northernContinue reading Blue Jean Baby in My Cut Offs–a Fab 40s Post
Summer time is coming to an end. My sister has started a new saying though: instead of “All good things must come to an end,” she declares, “All good things are wonderful.” And this summer has been just that–WONDERFUL! We started in Seattle and did our usual things like visiting Pike Place and going toContinue reading Summer Summer Summer Summer Time
I am so lucky that traveling is such a part of my life! Somehow Kevin and I made this incredible lifestyle that allows for travel during the school year and then some more during out summers. (I can say with confidence that being an international educator is one of the best jobs in the world–atContinue reading Can we move to Santa Barbara?
