Have you ever gone in to the hair stylist with a great idea for a haircut, only to have it be a big ol’ flop? I went from absolutely loving my hair to hating it! For about a year there I had my hair chemically straightened and wore it in a chic bob. In factContinue reading UGH! I hate my hair!
Yes, the fake is fur, but my wearing it is not. Cold Hong Kong–which is only about a month-long–is actually quite fun. Cold weather is all relative. I mean temperatures aside, we all feel really cold over here. There is no heating insider our buildings here in Hong Kong–unless you count my Fashy (my hotContinue reading I Love Cold Hong Kong
I look so much like my mom! It feels very odd to edit pictures of myself and totally see her. Or, I may even catch a glance of myself in a mirror and think it’s my mom. I mean I know I always have resembled her, but there’s something about me right now at myContinue reading I Look So Much Like My Mom
I’ve been very confused by those that refuse to wear the mask. I see stories online either via news channels or my Instagram feed; some people are very opposed about having to wear a mask. This baffles me. It absolutely doesn’t make any sense. To wear a mask is the respectful thing to do forContinue reading Wear a Mask
I’ve got a bad case of blogging block, and I have figured out why. I never did put that little black square on my Instagram feed. I didn’t and haven’t put anything to support, contradict, or even mention the #blacklivesmatter movement. Honestly I have tayed mute. I never wanted to say the wrong thing. I’mContinue reading My Blogging Block and Thoughts on Racism
Years ago–six to be exact, when I started posting my outfits versus only family updates, one of my most favorite style posts was this over-the-top Leopard Love moment. Ironically, as I write, I’m wearing a black silky shirt covered in both leopard and cheetah animals. There’s something about animal print and fall that are synonymousContinue reading Leopard Love Still Going Strong and Why I’ve Been Silent
I’m starting to get sick of wearing sweats. I mean, I love dressing up, and yes sweats are cozy, but they do nothing for my sartorial self-esteem. A house dress on the other hand, makes me feel fabulous! And that is the very best feeling to have. My first house dress was this white oneContinue reading The House Dress is Replacing Sweats
Monday, 1/5 3/5 Whenever I encapsulate a week’s worth of my outfits, I always appreciate the process. Not only does it make me more thoughtful about each day’s outfit, but it also helps me determine what works and doesn’t work in my closet. For example, this super cute Target find is pretty darn cute. However,Continue reading Style Stories No. 24: Working From Home Outfits
I can remember as a young woman being in a dressing room with my godmother, Auntie Paddy. She declared immediate embarrassment over her slanting shoulders. I looked at them… then realized I had the exact same slipping away shoulders that she has. Her remedy has been to always wear a pair of shoulder pad inserts.Continue reading The Shoulder Pad Tank That’s Saving Me
Vincent moved in to college this weekend. Because he’s an international student, he was able to obtain a dorm room–and not just that but a five bedroom dorm suite with two other roommates. He’s been gone just about a month. In that time he’s opened a checking account, purchased a bike, passed a driving test,Continue reading Half an Empty Nest Isn’t So Bad
I’ve had these flatform Tevas in both black and white for several years now. Last fall before putting them away till the spring, I had a clever idea: why not DIY embellished Tevas to infuse a bit of life into each pair. For the black pair, I had a strand of silver studs on leatherContinue reading DIY Embellished Tevas
