The end of the school year is always packed with all sorts of busy-ness! Goodbyes, celebrations, and festivities centered around finishing the school year are booked solid. I have such a great library team: Maureen, Amy, Laura and I work so well together. To celebrate the ends of our year, we had a ladies’ dateContinue reading Ladies’ Date Night: Iyara, Ted’s Lookout, and Beef & Liberty
Ab Challenge Roundup
This week I’ve rounded up a bunch of different ab challenges. Yep! It’s bikini season–yikes!! In anticipation of sitting on my dock in the (hopeful) sun out at Spirit Lake, I need to do some serious ab exercises. I’ve been looking online and have found Pinterest to have the best search. Here are the abContinue reading Ab Challenge Roundup
Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
One of the really cool things about writing this blog and “Getting the Best Out of Hong Kong” is sometimes I get invites to different events happening. This last weekend Found the Sound there was a sidewalk concert held outside of Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay. After a hot day that included both kayaking andContinue reading Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
Summer Shorts
I feel really hopeful about this summer. I could be jinxing myself….but I feel like it could be a really nice summer out at the lake. Usually when we go home to our lake cabin in Northern Idaho, I’m in a pair of cozy Uggs through all of June and parts of July, but thisContinue reading Summer Shorts
White Sundress
With outfitting Gigi in a white dress for her First Holy Communion, it meant I had my eyes peeled for the perfect white dress each time I went out. It’s only predictable that I found one a sundress version for myself; I liked the bohemian flow to this one. Paired with my little brown bootiesContinue reading White Sundress
Thank You J.Crew!
J.Crew is now in Hong Kong! We have all been able to purchase J.Crew online since they will ship to Hong Kong, and we’ve all been able to visit the small little section at Lane Crawford, but now we can go to two very distinct J.Crew stores. The woman’s store is in the IFC MallContinue reading Thank You J.Crew!
Saturday’s Best
This past Saturday was a very special day. Both Gigi and Vincent received their First Holy Communion. One neat aspect of living in Hong Kong has been able to join a parish again. Both Kevin and I were raised Catholic, went to parochial schools and Jesuit high schools. Since leaving our hometowns and setting outContinue reading Saturday’s Best
Date Night: 001 and Souvla
The end of the school year is always so busy, and unfortunately our Date Nights have been a bit neglected. Granted, Prom from last Friday night could almost count as a date night–almost. A few weeks ago though we did manage to treat ourselves to a night out: we went to a secret, somewhat undergroundContinue reading Date Night: 001 and Souvla
Fashion Fixation: Slip-ons
It’s been awhile since I’ve been completely fixated on a fashion items, but I want more slip-ons! I already own and frequently wear three pairs of slip-ons: I’ve got my black and white checkered Vans, my leopard skin, and my perforated white ones. Yet, I’m already on the hunt for more. They are the mostContinue reading Fashion Fixation: Slip-ons
Culottes
Culottes have made a comeback. Or did they ever leave? I have had these ones forever! I can’t even remember the year I got them, but it must have been in the India year. There are two embarrassing facts about my black culottes pictured in this outfit posts: first, they are so old I’ve evenContinue reading Culottes

Prom 2014 at HKIS is over! We did it!! And it was a total success!!! I’m really proud of all the girls and young man I worked with all year long to create a memorable night for the graduating senior class at HKIS. They are truly amazing. When I came across this “Prom Queen” croppedContinue reading Prom Queen {Just Kidding!}
Prom Makeup
When it comes to your prom makeup, choose either the eyes or the mouth to accentuate. For example, if you go with a heavy, smokey eye, then go easy on the lips with a nice nude yet glossy lip. On the other hand if you decide to go with a perfect red lipped pout, moreContinue reading Prom Makeup
