There’s a Five Day Denim Challenge on. It was called by Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller. I hadn’t heard about it until my friend Sheela from Sheela Writes asked if I was up for it. At first I kind of laughed because when I’m on summer vacation, I pretty much live in jeans–of some sortContinue reading Style Story 19: Five Day Denim Challenge
This was my first halter crop bikini top. I splurged but it was so worth it. This criss cross back is brilliant! Unfortunately now it’s only available in XS. I’ve found it: THE bikini for over 40. Now granted this post feels very gutsy on my part! I mean, I’m posting pictures of myself inContinue reading Style Story: THE Bikini for Over 40
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
There are a couple of trends that keep popping up this spring. One of them is color–like a ton of different colors (ok, ten to be exact) as highlighted in last week’s Style Story. Another is the jumpsuit which was also featured last week with The Fab 40s. Yet another trend is actually a surprisingContinue reading Suede, Suede, and More Suede
What to wear for a four days of work at a resort!? I love my job! This past weekend I was away in beautiful Kota Kinabalu for a work conference. Meeting up with teachers from all over Asia meant I was able to catch up with many friends made at the different posts we’ve had.Continue reading Style Story: Work AND Resort Wear
My style story this week has returned to work outfits–well at least three out of the five days! On both Monday and Friday I was able to dress down which is rare for me. In fact, I seem to rarely wear jeans; I think it’s time to invest in a new pair… This is theContinue reading Style Story: Back to Work Outfits
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
Some days I can’t be bothered to travel via the car. The roads are windy here in Hong Kong, and since it’s the winter months, road repair is in heavy session causing traffic delays. Sometimes, I’d rather just travel by boat. Our Vicem 80 yacht from Ocean Independence is the perfect little yacht for ourContinue reading Take Me Downtown on the Vicem 80
Motel Mexicola is indeed the quintessential Mexican experience–even though it’s islands away! Walking inside we all felt transported to a different land even though we were still on the island of Bali. After seeing several of my favorite bloggers (yes Geneva and Shea, I’m talking about you) tote the same message of how awesome MotelContinue reading Motel Mexicola–Bali’s Best Mexican Restaurant in Seminyak
Most of us have an LBD (little black dress) and some of us have an LWD (little white dress), but I also believe all women should have an LBnWSD (little black and white striped dress). This staple can be dressed up or down. It’s a look that instantly feels chic. The dresses are usually quiteContinue reading Another Dress Staple: The LBnWSD
Tomorrow is Halloween! For a kid, Halloween is a pretty fantastic holiday–you get to pose as someone other than yourself, walk around and ask for candy to your heart’s content, return home exhausted but ready to organize, trade, and sample your abundance of goods. I have wonderful memories of Halloween from growing up. My momContinue reading Halloween Roundup
I love a skirt with twirl! Swish around and the entire garment moves on without you. When I found this skirt at a second hand store here in HK, I instantly swapped it up. It’s dressy and a little formal, yet wearing it with a tied white shirt dresses it down. When I wear thisContinue reading Twirl
