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
Fully Vested
I finally made it to TopShop in Hong Kong. Yay! What a treat! It’s not as if we were short of shops of course, but the addition of this UK trend setting store is a welcome addition for all us HK shoppers! I admit to feeling overwhelmed, so for my first purchase I limited myselfContinue reading Fully Vested
Hong Kong Money
We have many activities to fill our Hong Kong portion of the summer. (In fact we have a jar full, but more on that later….) One of the first things we set out to do when started our summer vacation in Hong Kong was to try and venture to the top of the IFC building.Continue reading Hong Kong Money
CSJ 7/3/13
While the parade at Friday Harbor was very eventful and grand, the parade that will stick out in our memories is the one at Cape San Juan on July 3rd. The kids helped to decorate the wagon, and then they pulled it through the “strip.” There were judges, and the Krembs were in it toContinue reading CSJ 7/3/13
Ferry Fashion
Dressing for the ferry rides in the Northwest is tricky. You never know exactly how cold it will actually be, therefore scarves and layers are extremely important! Luckily if the sun is out, you can bask on deck and warm up–eventually taking off each layer at a time. I wonder how many times these ZaraContinue reading Ferry Fashion
Red, White, and Blue
When I saw this red, white, and blue number, of course I knew it would be the perfect 4th of July dress–no matter what I was doing. Luckily for this past 4th of July I was up on San Juan Island visiting the Krembs (Brian, Jen, Anthony, and Henry) at their new home in CapeContinue reading Red, White, and Blue
Shirt Off My Back
I’ve mentioned on this blog before how my sister Julie and I have this unwritten code: if there is ever an item owned by one sister (usually within reason and most always clothes or costume jewellery although not limited to cute storage bins from World Market) that is so coveted by the other, we will just giveContinue reading Shirt Off My Back
Goddaughter Style
My goddaughter might be mortified that I’m making this post, so I’ll start with the pics she took of me: I felt especially crafty this summer–it was freezing of course, but I planned for the chill! With booties I was always cozy, and when they actually had this studded version at my local Cd’A Target,Continue reading Goddaughter Style
Christmas in June
Every summer when we go home, my mom does the sweetest thing for all of us: she has Christmas in June! This year Joanie picked up this precious Peter Pan collared shirt for me. I love how she finds something perfect for me that I would never buy for myself. The sea foam green ofContinue reading Christmas in June
Roar Trip
We took a little road trip yesterday–well, drive from Seattle to Spokane. Vincent questioned us on the concept of a road trip. He said the drive across the state like this could not be considered a road trip. He might be onto something, but I told him any longer than 2-3 hours in a car can beContinue reading Roar Trip
