A couple of weekends ago, Kevin and I were able to go out, like on a date. Usually we manage to go out and about on the Hong Kong town pretty frequently, yet, because of the ongoing protests occurring throughout the city, the frequency of date night has lessened considerably. I was so excited thatContinue reading Feeling Flirty
Usually we wait until the Friday after Thanksgiving to put up our tree. However, this year, we just needed a little holiday cheer, so Sunday night we put our tree up a whole two weeks early. It makes sense: the kids are home more often than not lately due to suspended classes. Why wouldn’t weContinue reading Christmas is Coming Early This Year
This week–despite its harrowing turn of events causing no students at school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday–I decided to wear slip skirts. I own four, so one of them was doubled up. There’s something odd about a slip skirt for me… I can’t quite put my finger on it. I just usually feel a little awkwardContinue reading Style Stories No. 21: Slip Skirts
It’s hard to imagine that this lovely past Sunday we spent it at the beach with friends. I’d like to imagine everything is fine and dandy, but the truth is Hong Kong is in dire straights right now. I’m not very political, and I don’t plan to be, but if you pray, please do soContinue reading A Fall Beach Days
I LOVE the items I pick up at secondhand swaps. For example, these Zara boots, still on sale on the site for $114, I picked up for under $13!! And they had never been worn; they were basically brand spankin’ new! To add my personal touch to them, I swapped out the black laces andContinue reading Style Stories No. 20: Combat Boots All Week
Recently I purchased this boho floral dress via a Google image search. Yes, I used my research skills to shop. Hey, what can I say? I’m a good librarian! Now, let’s see how well I can explain the search in order to teach the process. The first thing needed is an image. I remembered seeingContinue reading Shopping Via Google Image Search
Tuesday at work/school was a Halloween costume dress up day. As I was getting dressed, I thought to myself, “Hmmm, what could I wear?” Then I remembered Krystal Bick mentioning dressing as the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and I thought, “Duh! What an easy way to dress!!” I’ve got a couple of full midi skirts plusContinue reading Dressing Like Mrs. Marvelous Maisel
So, it’s the end of the day, and I’m still not sick of wearing my snake blazer, and now it’s time to get ready for a date. Easy peasy! I simply added the skort that goes with the snake blazer and makes for a cute little suit. Because it’s night time, I added a littleContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Evening
Yesterday I featured the exact snake blazer but for a trip to the market in the morning. Now on this past Sunday–that will take you through the morning (yesterday’s post), afternoon (today’s post), and night(tomorrow’s post) –I’ve styled the snake blazer in preparation for meeting someone for an afternoon coffee. (Although this entire snake blazerContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Afternoon
I’ll be so busy this week that I won’t be able to post my newly returned Style Stories at the end of this week. (I leave on Wednesday afternoon for Shanghai to watch my son play baseball. I’m really excited, but it’s definitely bitter sweet. This will be the last time Vincent plays with hisContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Morning
I’m at it again, trying out new photo editing styles, but still telling my Style Stories. I made it easier on myself this week. I set Remota, my tripod, camera, and remote control) up in a library classroom, and each day I’d hop back there to get an outfit of the day (#ootd) pic. IContinue reading Style Stories No. 19: Upcycling My Clothes
About once a year this LBD makes the blog. When I traveled down history’s lane, I found the very first time this LBD was posted was back in 2014. I remember purchasing this dress at the Forever 21 that used to be in Causeway Bay. It seems like I’d always go for a little shopContinue reading Three Ways to Jazz Up Your LBD
