I love this dress, and I liked pairing it with black. I remember way back in high school I liked wearing navy and black together. It seems ultra conservative to me yet also very classy. I wore this exact outfit for Back to School Night, and I felt so chic in it that I wantedContinue reading Black and Blue on Blake Pier
Vogue Fashion Night Out
What a blast! Vogue Fashion Night Out was AMAZING! I found out about it at the last minute, but with some supportive nudging from the super HK fashion blogger, Jasmine Smith, I ventured out on my own. And I’m so glad I did! I think I started reading Vogue in about 7th grade. Sure IContinue reading Vogue Fashion Night Out
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
JUMP!
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!
Waiting for the Bus
I get pretty excited on the weekend for extra time when I can head to the bustling north side of Hong Kong. It doesn’t matter what time I leave and for how long; I could go to the city for an hour to all day. When I step outside our apartment to catch a bus,Continue reading Waiting for the Bus
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
It’s a Jungle Out There!
One of the things I truly find so amazing about Hong Kong is that both sides, north and south, are both jungles. One, the south side where I live, is all natural with sandy beaches winding the way, islands sparkling in the sea, and steep green mountains filled with trails for hiking. Then, simply cruiseContinue reading It’s a Jungle Out There!
Mon Kok Markets [周一角市场]
On another one of our Hong Kong summer vacation days, we ventured over across the harbor to Kowloon. We explored many of the markets in Mon Kok: the Flower Market, the Gold Fish market, and Temple Street market. (Hong Kong Extras has a great post about many of the markets in Hong Kong.) The marketsContinue reading Mon Kok Markets [周一角市场]
Big Buddha
On one of our summer vacation days in Hong Kong, we headed out to Lantau Island to visit the Big Buddha. It was a haul–with bus and MTR rides plus a gondola ride with long cues along the way, but it was totally worth it! The pictures are proof as was our calmness after theContinue reading Big Buddha
