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
I was so impressionable as a kid. I was my mother’s guinea pig trying just about anything when it came to style. With my mom’s encouragement, I’d wear whatever she told me to. There’s evidence in my 5th grade school picture: I’m wearing a tie–with confidence I must add. My mom dressed me in aContinue reading A Childhood Style Memory: Wearing a Tie
I’m pretty sure we all each have our own Wonder Woman story. I know I have many, but today I am going to tell you about my very first Wonder Woman story. This story is from when I was around ten years old. I am guessing ten because I had already started babysitting, and thisContinue reading Wonder Woman
I always wear at least one evil eye. Sometimes, I will wear multiple–maybe one around my neck, a ring, maybe a bracelet, or perhaps some evil eye earring. Guaranteed though, I always have one on. I have many superstitions; although I’d like to call them beliefs. The evil eyes I wear comes down to anyContinue reading What’s with the Evil Eye?
Do you remember our trip to the Philippines in October? Remember how I was gushing about the Forever 21 in Clark, Philippines? Well. It was during that trip that I basically purchased all the holiday outfits I’d wear during this winter break holiday to Thailand. When I saw this bright off-the-shoulder red lacy dress, IContinue reading Merry Thai Christmas
Oversize me! Sometimes I just want to wear oversize everything. It’s so comfy. It’s definitely on the sloppier side, but oh, it’s so cozy. Like this sweater for example, in a very soft chenile, is way too big–I almost got the medium but then was like no I want large! And these pants, very brandContinue reading Style Stories: Forever 21, Oversize Me!
Did I fool you on Saturday’s alternative makeup post? It was a rather cruel joke, making you watch me put that hideous makeup on for five minutes, but, oh well! I hope you had a little laugh!! This is the third Monday where I’m featuring fishnet, and there’s nothing silly about this outfit: I wouldContinue reading More Fishnet
I had such a blast at my very first Clockenflap festival. I was so excited about going that I kind of forgot about how much I would enjoy preparing what I would wear to such an event. Then, once I was actually getting ready to attend, I realized I needed first and foremost to remainContinue reading Clockenflap Style Story
Thanks for these pics Norbyah–and for trying to bring out the tough girl in me! Some Style Stories just happen. I’ve been on the lookout for a cool moto jacket for a while now. I have this sleek one that I picked up a swap, but sometimes with too many layers it’s a bit snugContinue reading Style Stories No. 12: Moto Jacket Love
It’s been cold in Hong Kong–like seriously cold especially by Hong Kong standards, so the wear of these three sweaters is completely authentic. If you follow along on Instagram, you will have quite familiar with these three pieces. I love each of them, and of course they each have their own little story. I firstContinue reading Style Stories No. 10: Sweater Season
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
I am making friends with the coolest women–around the world. No I haven’t met them in person yet, but I am getting to know them regardless of time and place. This week for my Style Story Link Up, I want to introduce you to @catoinamsterdam. For ease I’ll refer to @catoinamsterdam by her name, Carin.Continue reading Style Story Link Up No. 5 + @catoinamsterdam
