The weather in Hong Kong has been very, very temperamental. In fact on Saturday the storms were so intense we stayed in all day! Part of it was due to intense bouts of rain, thunder, and lightening; some of it was due to the migraine that I believe was induced by such crazy weather. OnContinue reading Rainy Weekend Wear
We will have a young man in the house tomorrow. On May 7th, 13 years ago, Vincent Freuen Krembs was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I won’t say it feels like yesterday. It doesn’t. We’ve been through a ton as a family. But, it does feel like the time has flown. I can remember the chubbyContinue reading Young Man in the House
I’ve lost count on how many Style Stories I’ve written now–it might be over a dozen by now. This series started out because I wanted to clean out my closet. I have so many clothes! I get attached to them: almost every item in my wardrobe has some sort of story behind it. In theseContinue reading Style Story: #InStyleColor
We made it to Yunnan! Usually, our family trips consist of idyllic beaches found around Asia: for example this year we went to Bali in October and December and then Boracay in February. Beach trips are just easy; everyone’s happy. But, sometimes it’s important for the four of us to venture out of our comfortContinue reading Adventure Travel in Yunnan: Lijiang and Shangrila, China
We just finished an adventure trip through Lijiang, China. On one afternoon, when the sun was just right, Gigi, the Spring Jacket, and I went out exploring. There’s something magical about neighborhood China and all the ornate wood embellishments with red garnishes in the form of either lanterns or banners. Some walls are depicted withContinue reading A Meandering Spring Jacket Through the Streets of Lijiang
This week I pretty much liked what I was wearing all week, but to be honest, I’m definitely still trying to get used to my hair. It is super short! The cut before was also short but because of all the flippy waves I think it felt very similar to my long locks. I thinkContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
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
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
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
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
This week was a four work outfit work week, and it went fairly well. This is a no brainer, but if I plan out the outfit the day before, I am usually so much better dressed! I didn’t get rid of any clothes this week too, but I know I need to replace a fewContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
For the Tuesdays in February I’ll be dedicated to styling my ponchos. I have a couple of ponchos, and it’s time for them to get some use. Ponchos are the perfect layering piece; wearing one is basically like wearing a blanket, and it they’re cashmere, it’s bound to be a very soft blankie. All theContinue reading Poncho Tuesday {Like Taco Tuesday but with Ponchos!}
