I participated (well tried to anyway) in an Instagram monthly challenge sponsored by superwowomg for the month of July. On one of the days, the theme of the picture was “Kawaii,” but I didn’t know what it meant, so I had to look it up. And then, everything made sense! All the times that IContinue reading KAWAII

JUMP!
After wearing this JUMPsuit to school last Friday, I really did want to jump for joy! Let’s just say, without going into too much detail, that while I loved my first year in Hong Kong, my first year in the high school library at HKIS was probably my toughest teaching year yet. So when oneContinue reading JUMP!
Waiting for the Bus
I get pretty excited on the weekend for extra time when I can head to the bustling north side of Hong Kong. It doesn’t matter what time I leave and for how long; I could go to the city for an hour to all day. When I step outside our apartment to catch a bus,Continue reading Waiting for the Bus
Sunday Post
Yesterday I made a post about wanting a floral dress–any of these four would be just fine. Then I looked in my own closet and was reminded I do have a floral dress. I purchased this flower/mirrored one at HM last spring when it was still too cold to wear in Hong Kong. It satisfiedContinue reading Sunday Post
All Dressed Up
I have dresses on my mind–especially floral ones. I think for work and with the summer heat we still have, I appreciate the ease in wearing a dress. I tried wearing one on Sunday that I will post later, but I think I need some new ones. I would be happy with any of theseContinue reading All Dressed Up
First Day of School
We finally had it! Our first day of school! It was delayed by a day: everyone was waiting in anticipation. Would it curve toward us or not? When I woke up at 5:30 on August 14, with a Typhoon 8 signal hoisted, I knew we’d at least get to sleep in. Then at 10:00 amContinue reading First Day of School

Time for Rain Boots
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
Packing 101: Overnight [at the Auberge]
Packing can be tricky. My mom is the absolute master at packing, so along the way I’ve taken note. (She’s actually amazing to watch in action!) Plus, as a family we’ve been on the move for many years, so there are some parts of packing that I have become good at. Recently on an overnightContinue reading Packing 101: Overnight [at the Auberge]
