I knew what I was going to call for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme: preppy! It was during May when we were all dressed in boho style that the idea came to me. Jennie, who used to be our most preppy, and who has now become one of our most boho, asked me if itContinue reading The Fab 40s Attempt Preppy
Green Shaggy Dress–Ping Pong Post 8 with 2 More Bloggers
This month’s Ping Pong Post has expanded. We have two guests joining Samantha, Anna, and me: Sheela, who you already know from The Fab 40s, and Greetje, the author of No Fear of Fashion. That means this green shaggy dress (yes, it’s a dress!) has traveled to four destinations until it was returned recently toContinue reading Green Shaggy Dress–Ping Pong Post 8 with 2 More Bloggers
The Fab 40s in a Bomber Jacket
I have so much to cheer for! Really, I do!! Besides having pretty much the cutest bomber jacket ever, I have some things to bounce around the bleachers for acting like a cheerleader once again. For one, I’m walking, slowly but surely. I went back to work today–yes, it was only for two hours, butContinue reading The Fab 40s in a Bomber Jacket
The Fab 40s in All White
Wearing all white on a boat out pulling the kids behind is an outfit I could be found in any day of the summer out at Spirit Lake. Here I’m out on the boat with the entire fam pulling them for a ski. Our mornings out here are usually spent in this manner. (In fact,Continue reading The Fab 40s in All White
The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
You’re going to see a lot of sequins during this round of The Fab 40s. We are all wearing formal during the day. This is something I’m quite used to. Since I’m on a total sneaker/casual shoe kick, I try to figure out ways to dress up this look. In fact you can see meContinue reading The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
White Maxi Dress–PPP No. 4
June in Hong Kong means beach time, so when it was my turn to choose something to pass around for the 4th Ping Pong Post, I chose this white maxi dress. It’s flowy and airy and see through! Gasp! But not so much so that I can still feel covered when I take the fiveContinue reading White Maxi Dress–PPP No. 4
Purple Leopard Jumpsuit – Ping Pong Post No. 3
I might have squealed when I opened this month’s Ping Pong Post package and saw this purple leopard jumpsuit inside. It’s quite known that I love leopard (see here, here, here, and here), and I don’t discriminate against leopard in color (as seen here and here). Once I held it up, I will admit toContinue reading Purple Leopard Jumpsuit – Ping Pong Post No. 3
The Fab 40s in Red & Pink
Wow! The Fab 40s have now completed a year of posts–this is twelfth collaboration. In March of 2015 we started with six of us styling up the Pantone color of that year: Marsala. We started with six–unfortunately Kirsten from The LIFB (she was featured as a Style Story fave just yesterday!) wasn’t able to continueContinue reading The Fab 40s in Red & Pink
Style Stories No. 10: Sweater Season
It’s been cold in Hong Kong–like seriously cold especially by Hong Kong standards, so the wear of these three sweaters is completely authentic. If you follow along on Instagram, you will have quite familiar with these three pieces. I love each of them, and of course they each have their own little story. I firstContinue reading Style Stories No. 10: Sweater Season
The Fab 40s in Embroidery
I was so excited when Sheela called this month’s Fab 40s’ theme to be embroidery. I have tons of embroidered items–any time I travel I seem to pick up one more embroidered bag. But then, when it actually came for me to style an outfit, I realized that really all I have are just that–aContinue reading The Fab 40s in Embroidery
Style Stories No. 9: Back-to-Work
Here’s a sampling of what I wore this past week. It was difficult arriving back from an amazing trip where we went home for the holidays. Arriving late on Sunday night made getting up for work on Monday a bit difficult. I declared Monday a jeans day for myself. By the end of the weekContinue reading Style Stories No. 9: Back-to-Work
I Dare you to Wear More than Four Colors
You know how we used to all look at the J.Crew catalogs, and think how are they mixing all those colors and prints together? Well, I used to think that anyway, but these days, it seems every outfit I put together is filled with this style called “pattern play.” I’m making some pretty great friendsContinue reading I Dare you to Wear More than Four Colors
