All month long and all around the world there have been celebrations happening for the wrap dress style first introduced by Diane von Furstenberg back in the early 1970s. It’s been 40 years since the style was created, and now from January 11-April 11 DVF has the “Journey of a Dress” exhibition. For me, here inContinue reading Journey of a Dress
Just like having a Holiday Outfit Formula, I also have a New Year’s Eve Outfit Formula. It’s basically the same but in reverse. To dress up a bit more for this festive evening, I choose a fun sparkly, fancy, unique cut top and pair it with a black leather skirt and pumps. It’s that easy!Continue reading New Year’s Eve Outfit Formula
Wow! It’s not very often that I feel completely overwhelmed, but this last week has been hmmm, what’s the word for beyond busy? Overloaded? Utterly maximized? Cray cray? But look! I’m all mixed up, but I’m still smiling. I’m finally taking a little moment to catch my breath–in Beijing! I brought a group of 6Continue reading All Mixed Up
When the Krembs want to have a special dinner, we have pizza! This started happening probably during a summer cook off out at the cabin. It continued in our beautiful yard in Beijing. In Hong Kong we had to take a year off (or just use the oven) until we recently brought back a BBQContinue reading Recipe: Pizza Night
There’s a lady at work who can wear a dress! I mean it!! Every time I see her, she’s sporting a different dress, and it always looks amazing on her. This dress was purchased in hopes of pulling off a dress the same way she does. (Yes, Sarah, I’m talking about you!) However, I purchasedContinue reading Green Tree Weekend Wear
Jean Paul Gaultier is known as l’enfant terrible in French fashion. This is a term used to characterize those who are very straight forward in perhaps an offensive way. Translated the term is “the terrible child” as this individual is considered very rough and crude. Amazingly Jean Paul Gaultier never trained or studied fashion. RatherContinue reading Friday Fashion Feature: Jean Paul Gaultier
It’s just about the end of August. Fall is approaching, and with that the weather will change. Luckily it will take a bit of time for Hong Kong to get chillier, but eventually it will. I hopped onto Extragr.am (that’s my favorite web site for browsing Instagram online) and strolled through some of my pastContinue reading Fashion Collages
I was so bummed when I went to put on one of my most favorite pairs of earrings to match this dress, one of the feather’s was broken. I didn’t let that stop me though. I put the one feather in my extra double pierced ear and wore it 80s style solo. I got theseContinue reading Lost Feather
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!
I love this dress! I have owned it for 16 and 1/2 years. My mom and I went to Seattle together at some point during my engagement to Kevin. It was during this trip that we walked into BCBG (at that time it was still on the street and not in it’s current location atContinue reading [16 yr old] Rehearsal Dinner Dress
I finally made it to TopShop in Hong Kong. Yay! What a treat! It’s not as if we were short of shops of course, but the addition of this UK trend setting store is a welcome addition for all us HK shoppers! I admit to feeling overwhelmed, so for my first purchase I limited myselfContinue reading Fully Vested
When you head out to Ocean Park, you are definitely in for some fun, so it’s best to be comfortable. Planning for the rain, now that’s something altogether different that I haven’t quite seemed to have figured out. Photos by Vincent
