Well I did it! I designed five dresses, according to a theme, and showed them in a fashion show! And it was fantastic!! I made the drawings for each dress, I chose the fabrics, and I styled the dresses on the models. I admit to not sewing the garments–maybe next year! But I did it.Continue reading Making Dreams Come True
The Fab 40s in Marsala and Denim
Today I bring you The Fab 40s in Marsala and Denim. The six of us in the fab 40s each chose an outfit themed with “Marsala and Denim.” To be honest, I don’t think about my age that much. I know I’m in my 40s, but it doesn’t really phase me when it comes toContinue reading The Fab 40s in Marsala and Denim
India Blogger Roundup
It’s time for an India Blogger Roundup! It’s no lie: I enjoy rounding up bloggers–especially when I travel somewhere. I found some great Jakarta and Shanghai bloggers, and then last week, inspired by my own short hair, I rounded up some short hair bloggers. Now with India fresh in my memories, I found five, absolutelyContinue reading India Blogger Roundup
Kitty N. Wong
I am meeting so many neat people in Hong Kong! There are creative types left and right, and I feel so lucky to be knowing them. Kitty N. Wong is one such example. I knew of Kitty before I met her at the Eco Chic Design Award through social media and her blog. When IContinue reading Kitty N. Wong

Librarian Lady Friend
Charcoal: Coach Bag // Peter Pan Collar // Plaid Trousers // Buckled Booties I am so lucky! At work, a few stairs and stories down, there is a fellow librarian lady friend who loves fashion and style, clothing and shopping just as much as I do. We offer each other such relief on days whenContinue reading Librarian Lady Friend
Fashion Collages
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
Lost Feather
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
KAWAII
I participated (well tried to anyway) in an Instagram monthly challenge sponsored by superwowomg for the month of July. On one of the days, the theme of the picture was “Kawaii,” but I didn’t know what it meant, so I had to look it up. And then, everything made sense! All the times that IContinue reading KAWAII

A Night at the Auberge
Again, we drew out of the Hong Kong jar this summer, and a night away was pulled. While we had intended on going to Macau, it was seeming overly crowded to us, so instead we opted for a new “inn” that had opened in Discovery Bay this last March. The Auberge is beautiful! It was worthContinue reading A Night at the Auberge
College Bound [If]
The other day on a walk, Kevin and I ran into a graduate that I just love. She’s heading off to college this August as many new freshman university students are, therefore it prompted this wistful, nostalgic post. If I was going off to college, and if I had some money to splurge on backContinue reading College Bound [If]
