There is a very predictable purchase I make during our travels. I seem to always pick up a beach bag (or two!). Not only do I buy them for myself, but I also tend to pick up another two for my sisters. A beach bag found in an Asia beach area is always going toContinue reading Beach Bag Buys
My family and I just spent an amazing week in Hoi An, Vietnam. Our days began with delicious Vietnamese coffees and chocolate filled croissants, followed with bike rides to and from town, then afternoons lounging at the beach, and finally evenings ending with walks and dinner in the lantern lit town. Each day was spentContinue reading Hoi An, the Lantern City
This is the third and final item I recently revitalized from my closet. During some spring cleaning and wardrobe gutting, I came upon three pieces that with a little fixing could be upcycled. I’ve always loved this black floral tunic, but I always hated the length. The length made it so frumpy on me, andContinue reading Revitalized Floral Tunic
Ok, ok. This is definitely overkill. But hear me out: I attempted to mix some prints and perhaps, no it is, a bit much. That’s ok though. I don’t mind experimenting with my own personal style. Sometimes I get it just right, and sometimes I completely miss the mark. Here, the leopard skirt and theContinue reading Revitalized Leopard Skirt
The last time I wore this dress as a dress was in India, and that was a long time ago. For some reason–probably my lack of shoulders–I don’t really like the cold shoulder look on me. This was a really pretty dress, but I wasn’t wearing it. In this styling I wore the dress asContinue reading Revitalized Floral Skirt
I finally found the perfect midi dress! Goodness, I’ve tried to make this dress style work this month–and not always successfully. This one was too big around the waist while the color of this one was all off. This snake print one wasn’t really quite the length of a midi dress and must be shortened.Continue reading I Finally Found the Perfect Midi Dress!
I think it’s fair to say I’ve been waiting and waiting for acid wash denim to make a come back. I love all the blue hues of acid wash. Why do some things come and go–especially when they’re so good? I do realize I’m one of the rare acid wash lovers; it’s most likely theContinue reading It’s a YES to Acid Wash!
Can I quit this style? I just don’t think the midi dress is the dress for me. This is my third time trying. The first time, there was no shape; the second time, the color was off. Now on this third try, it feels like this snake midi dress just hits me at the wrongContinue reading A Snake Midi Dress
All last week I was in northern Thailand for a school trip. I learned to cook Thai food with 18 students and a fellow colleague. It was such fun, and of course it’s always a very delicious experience. I had been there last year and fondly remembered this breathtaking garden. It really is like FrancesContinue reading The Secret Garden in a Lace Dress
I love Target. Like I said last month, it’s one shopping experience I miss from the States. I keep writing Target to ask them to return their international shipping; it was so wonderful for those one or two times I was able to take advantage of. If I were to go to Target today, here’sContinue reading Target Wish List for March
Last week I stated that on Wednesdays I’d be trying out longer styled midi dresses, and it taught me something: my midi dress needs a waist! With a longer hem, I don’t have my legs to highlight, so I need to try to accentuate my curves–which these day seem to be plentiful. (I discussed thisContinue reading For Me, a Midi Dress Needs a Waist
