So much has happened in a week; I can hardly believe it. We are definitely living in an unprecedented time. For Hong Kong, our numbers doubled in one week. Last Sunday we had stayed at a solid 140 coronavirus cases for weeks. Then, with an influx of people returning to Hong Kong, we doubled ourContinue reading Schools are Closed, but We are ALL Learning
Chinese New Year is a very fun celebration–especially if you live in Asia. Everywhere, everything, and everyone is red! The red is very significant: it brings good luck. However, unfortunately Hong Kong is yet to receive a break and could use some good luck right about now. With 8 cases of the Wuhan Virus (Coronavirus),Continue reading Chinese New Year Adjustments
Monday was casual Thanksgiving, and Tuesday was dressy Thanksgiving which leaves last but not least, my fancy Thanksgiving look! Fancy calls for sequins! I love sequin jogger pants, and admittedly I have been wanting a pair for sometime now. When I saw this pair at Zara, I didn’t hesitate to click XL and send themContinue reading Fancy Thanksgiving
It’s hard to imagine that this lovely past Sunday we spent it at the beach with friends. I’d like to imagine everything is fine and dandy, but the truth is Hong Kong is in dire straights right now. I’m not very political, and I don’t plan to be, but if you pray, please do soContinue reading A Fall Beach Days
I’m at it again, trying out new photo editing styles, but still telling my Style Stories. I made it easier on myself this week. I set Remota, my tripod, camera, and remote control) up in a library classroom, and each day I’d hop back there to get an outfit of the day (#ootd) pic. IContinue reading Style Stories No. 19: Upcycling My Clothes
I love what I did to these basically-new-but-bought-second-hand Zara combat boots. I took out the black laces and added the red to add a little laced up contrast to these boots. I love it when Redress HK has their swaps. (The next swap will take place from November 29 to December 3.) I managed toContinue reading Laced Up in Combat Boots
Ok, ok. I returned to blogging with some overzealous vigor. There is no way I can commit to posting each week day as proven by this past week. I made it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but Friday’s post is being written and published on Saturday! I definitely need to lower my personal blogging expectations.Continue reading Shopping My Closet for Fall Trends 2019
It’s June 3rd, and we leave for our summer holiday in exactly 2 weeks. We have such a different summer ahead of us; I can hardly wait. Vincent has already started his summer when he arrived in Seattle this past Friday night. He was allowed an early departure from school, so he can play baseballContinue reading Planning for Summer 2019
Last week during my respite at home, with the help of Lucile, our housekeeper, I made the spring wardrobe switch. Two to four times a year I swap out clothes, and it’s really quite fun: basically it’s like getting a whole new wardrobe. Like this dress for example–I got it at the end of theContinue reading The Spring Wardrobe Switch
Let’s start with the Queen first, shall we? And no, I’m not talking about the animated Queen Elizabeth and corgi movie in the theaters. I’m talking about THE queen, Queen Bee, Queen Beyoncé. Wow! Stop everything right now (even reading this blog post!) to go watch the Netflix show Homecoming. It is BEYONd amazing! (SeeContinue reading What I’ve Been Reading and Watching This Spring
Lately, I’ve been writing posts pining away for a visit to Targé (click here for posts 1, 2, and 3), yet to be honest, I never go for want…Asia has so many amazing beauty products! I’m always trying new ones, and I definitely have many beauty products that have become daily staples. With a littleContinue reading Beauty Products Found in Asia
Festival season is on! Therefore some festival season outfit ideas are needed. I love attending music festivals–Hong Kong’s major music festival, Clockenflap, usually occurs during the month of November. (Here are my outfits from 2017 and last year’s 2018.) Basically, regardless if you’re attending a music festival in Australia, the UK, or the USA, thereContinue reading Festival Season Essentials
