Corset Advertisement from 1886 in the Public Domain Recently I found an awesome mommy/fashion blogger based out of New York: Jennifer Connelly of Two Pumps in a Purse.

During our most recent trip to Jakarta, I recognized a ritual that I conduct whenever I travel. I always, I mean always, enter into a drugstore and just collect a couple of unique items from that place. This got me thinking…I’ve been doing this for years! And because of this ritual, I then hoard certainContinue reading {International} Drugstore Roundup
I love wearing a kurta as a cover-up. They’re the perfect length to cover the bum plus they usually have little side slits that kind of expose the leg. They’re always breezey and comfy for the beach. And they always come in such beautiful patterns and prints. Following are my favorite four: This coral paisleyContinue reading Kurta-ing the Issue
It’s kind of a long story. Basically, for the 4th I asked my mom if I could borrow her cowboy boots. She brought out these, and I was shocked they were a new, studded style.

One of the really cool things about writing this blog and “Getting the Best Out of Hong Kong” is sometimes I get invites to different events happening.
