My style story is back this week! Monitoring my daily work outfits has been a great way for me to see what I actually wear and need in my closet. Just from last week’s post I was able to clean out my wardrobe by getting rid of a few items. This week was freezing, andContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
Graphic Tees Please
There are a couple of trends I’ve been slow to the take: one of them being graphic tees. I figured out why….when you wear a graphic tee, you’ve got to feel the message. The t-shirt actually says something, so when you wear it you have to remember that you are actually communicating to anyone whoContinue reading Graphic Tees Please

#ElleinHK Last Year on this Day
Last year on January 6 of 2014, Elle arrived to stay with us in Hong Kong for six weeks. OH! It was such fun!! I end up missing her quite a bit since that time that she stayed with us. It was such a treat to spend a solid chunk of time with her. ElleContinue reading #ElleinHK Last Year on this Day
An Essay: You Never Know Until You Try
Here my mom and I are in Jaipur–freezing our buns off! Joanie was visiting us in India, and she was able to come on the student trip I was chaperoning. What a fun trip!! She was my adventurous travel partner up for anything! I wear leopard–a lot. I love patterns–paisley being one of my favorites.Continue reading An Essay: You Never Know Until You Try
Ladies in Red
Kung Hei Fat Choi! For Chinese New Year this morning, I’ve created a round-up of some of my daily reads, capturing these lovely ladies in red. These women serve as inspiration for me: there’s something about each of their individual style that I just love. I believe it’s how they are all extremely classy andContinue reading Ladies in Red
Nerdy by Nature
So, this whole get-up might be a little over-the-top, but when has that ever stopped me!? I’ve always been a little “nerdy by nature!” However, there’s this fashion blogger I admire, Blaire Eadie, of Atlantic-Pacific; I like to believe that she would pull off something like this quite successfully. Me? Well, I don’t know. ItContinue reading Nerdy by Nature
Call Me Joanie
Here’s my mom, Joanie! She has amazing style: I’d like to attribute my love of clothing and fashion to her. She’d always get me to wear the zaniest get ups like the time I wore black bermudas with a button down and tie with loafer and knee highs. Admittedly I was a bit of herContinue reading Call Me Joanie
Librarian Lady Friend
Charcoal: Coach Bag // Peter Pan Collar // Plaid Trousers // Buckled Booties I am so lucky! At work, a few stairs and stories down, there is a fellow librarian lady friend who loves fashion and style, clothing and shopping just as much as I do. We offer each other such relief on days whenContinue reading Librarian Lady Friend
Fashion Collages
It’s just about the end of August. Fall is approaching, and with that the weather will change. Luckily it will take a bit of time for Hong Kong to get chillier, but eventually it will. I hopped onto Extragr.am (that’s my favorite web site for browsing Instagram online) and strolled through some of my pastContinue reading Fashion Collages
Lost Feather
I was so bummed when I went to put on one of my most favorite pairs of earrings to match this dress, one of the feather’s was broken. I didn’t let that stop me though. I put the one feather in my extra double pierced ear and wore it 80s style solo. I got theseContinue reading Lost Feather
KAWAII
I participated (well tried to anyway) in an Instagram monthly challenge sponsored by superwowomg for the month of July. On one of the days, the theme of the picture was “Kawaii,” but I didn’t know what it meant, so I had to look it up. And then, everything made sense! All the times that IContinue reading KAWAII
