I’ve collaborated again with the awesome Hong Kong label Louella Odié! The last time I traveled with a Louella Odié bag was to Shanghai over American Thanksgiving to visit my sister. This time around, this cute, little (actually decent sized), fish clutch came with me. This was the first time I had carried a clutch,Continue reading Louella Odié in Boracay
Writing in My Sleep
This is a test. I have no idea what to write about for tomorrow’s post. Obviously I haven’t planned ahead well enough….So this will be a test to see if I still have the ability of writing in my sleep. In the evenings I’ve always struggled to stay awake. I get so tired–like right aboutContinue reading Writing in My Sleep
Beach Poncho Tuesday
This is the last Poncho Tuesday and for this post, I’m wearing a beach poncho. No, I didn’t know they existed either, but when I was in Boracay last week and saw this trend all over the beach, I went hunting for one. Granted my beach market version is very cheap, BUT imagine my delightContinue reading Beach Poncho Tuesday
Carving Out Kremb de la Kremb
Carving out a message in Boracay is a super fun activity for people during their island stay. Most messages are devoted to birthdays and usually simply “loving Boracay” but one night while we were on our Chinese New Year vacation I chose a different message. Each night right in front of our hotel as theContinue reading Carving Out Kremb de la Kremb
Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
What a wonderful week! There are two great perks of being an international educator: one, vacation time! Because we’re on a school year calendar, we are always welcomed by holiday time. It is a definite perk! The other benefit is living overseas in places like Asia where the travel opportunities are plenty. This is ourContinue reading Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
Inside My Beach Bag
Let’s take a look inside my beach bag… For both of my beach bags, I have gone with local Hong Kong bag designers. First I use a MISCHA tote bag plus a Louella Odié tote pouch inside to keep important items separate yet more importantly out of sand’s way. I throw in my sequin sarongContinue reading Inside My Beach Bag
Beach Reads for Boracay
The beach reads I choose for vacation are very important to me. I go through a very thorough book evaluation in order to choose just the right books for reading. Being a librarian I actually take great fun in this ritual. I search my favorite book blogs like Reading Rants, I seek out recommendations fromContinue reading Beach Reads for Boracay
Poncho Tuesday and Sequins After the Holidays
When I saw this grey cashmere poncho on a good friend of mine (yes Jane, it was you!), I had to have it. She wore it simply over a crisp white shirt and a pair of jeans. She had stunning boots on as well with the jean leg simply tucked in. Jane is chic: she’sContinue reading Poncho Tuesday and Sequins After the Holidays
Lace Cover-Ups
Lace cover-ups, sandy beaches, palm trees, ocean breezes, refreshing waters, and gorgeous sunsets. Yes! I’m back at the beach this week for our Chinese New Year vacation! So, by the end of the week, there will be a Style Story of a different nature: cover-ups instead of work outfits! This lace top was purchased thisContinue reading Lace Cover-Ups
Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
Let’s see…this has been the sixth week of keeping track of my work outfits. So far, I’ve gotten rid of plenty of items, I keep learning what looks best on me (most of the time), and I find myself still experimenting with different types of looks. This week wasn’t as good as last: I learnedContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday

Poncho Tuesday in Winter Whites
Yep, it’s Poncho Tuesday again on Kremb de la Kremb but this time in winter whites. I love throwing a monochromatic look together especially in all creamy white. For one, it’s a chance to play with texture! In this outfit I’ve got cable knit and bone buttons with the poncho. The skirt has fun frontContinue reading Poncho Tuesday in Winter Whites
