The fog has hit Hong Kong. If the sunny weather comes back, I want to wear this dress to Easter Sunday. Oh March. You really do put me into a style rut! And this is coming from someone who loves getting dressed! March drags on forever and ever. It’s not quite spring, and most areContinue reading March, You Give Me a Style Rut
Sometimes, when a trend becomes saturated–say like the popularity of culottes for example, I end up not wanting to be a part of the movement any longer. I prefer to be unique. I do not want this to come across as snobby; I just prefer being a trendsetter as oppose to follower. Regardless, I haveContinue reading Tie Your Blanket Scarf as a Skirt
I was so excited when Sheela called this month’s Fab 40s’ theme to be embroidery. I have tons of embroidered items–any time I travel I seem to pick up one more embroidered bag. But then, when it actually came for me to style an outfit, I realized that really all I have are just that–aContinue reading The Fab 40s in Embroidery
Here’s a sampling of what I wore this past week. It was difficult arriving back from an amazing trip where we went home for the holidays. Arriving late on Sunday night made getting up for work on Monday a bit difficult. I declared Monday a jeans day for myself. By the end of the weekContinue reading Style Stories No. 9: Back-to-Work
For some reason, this is my favorite post from 2015. I just love these pants to no end, and I like how I styled them here with a simple white tee. Also of note: my hair. I can’t seem to get it to look like this again, but I’ll keep trying. There’s no better wayContinue reading My Style Promises for 2016
I can’t seem to fill my wardrobe with enough fringe–from making new pieces by adding fringe or investing in fall booties. But then again, it’s a very bold trend to wear, so I don’t need to much. Regardless, it’s fun to shop for. Below are options as low as $24.90 to a bag at almostContinue reading Feeling Fringe-y
These pictures are from the Express advertisement campaign featuring Karlie Kloss. There’s a fall trend out there that is hitting the shops big: FRINGE! Fringe bags can be found everywere as well as a little fringe on the boots. I myself fringed a pair of sandals this summer and then just recently posted my fringeContinue reading Let’s Go Shopping for Fringe
The co-ord was a new fashion term introduced to me by my niece this summer. The co-ord is basically short for a coordinate–or in other words a matching top and bottom. The co-ord is an excellent substitute for a dress or suit; often times the top might be cropped or extra flowy, and the bottomsContinue reading The Co-Ord at the Community Library
There are a couple of very supportive and influential ladies in the middle aged blogging community. I’ve mentioned Catherine from Not Dressed as Lamb. She holds a similar motto to me regarding confidence being the very best accessory. There’s another very supportive and collaborative individual based in Singapore: Sylvia from 40 Plus Style. Sylvia hasContinue reading My Style Interview with Sylvia from 40 Plus Style
So….there was an article written recently that has ruffled many (stylish) women’s feathers–including mine. Over on Rant Chic a post was written about the 24 Things Women Should Stop Wearing After Age 30. Say what!?! For me, this is just asinine. I’ve never done well with people regulating what I can and cannot wear. IContinue reading 24 Things I Shouldn’t Have Worn–Ooops! Basically, #IwillwearwhatIlike
Jumpsuit Monday continues this week. While last week I posted the styling of a cocktail party jumpsuit, this Monday it’s all about wearing this spring trend for day parites. You know the day parties are coming up: Sunday brunches, baby and wedding showers, and reunions to name a few. There’s a jumpsuit out there thatContinue reading Jumpsuit Monday: Day Party Jumpsuit
So many trends this spring to try, and the off the shoulder dress is yet another one. I had a summer back in college where I wore a lovely off the shoulder black top to work nightly. I was the hostess at a prominent restaurant in my hometown, and this black top was all things:Continue reading Off the Shoulder Dress
