FATAL ATTRACTION

I believe I was wearing Reformation even in one of my very first blog posts, (see EARTH FRIENDLY).  I have been utterly obsessed with this brand ever since I was introduced to it two years ago, and my bank account has never looked so poor since.  This is what I call a fatal attraction.  My […]

AGAINST THE GRAIN

I’m 35.  I figure I just come right out and say it.  It seems as though that’s the #1 question I get whenever I talk about my skin, my physique, or my relationship status.  “Exactly how old are you?”  I don’t dress, act or look my age.  I’m going against the grain on what the general […]

INDECENT EXPOSURE

Last month when I attended my brother’s wedding in Shanghai, my mother repeatedly, (and I use this adjective with the strongest sense), requested that I start dressing more conservatively.  I’m not sure if it’s a cultural difference or a styling discrepancy, but my mother HATES it when I don’t wear a bra.  I’m not exposing […]

HOW I ESPRESS-O MYSELF

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”2714727″] If you ever watch any of my InstaStories, (as you should because I’m freaking awesome), then you would know that I have a thing for coffee.  It’s part of my routine: morning workout, then an iced coffee/espresso/matcha beverage of some sort. I recently did some math and figured out just how much I […]

TROPICAL

Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but I’m headed to Tulum, Mexico next week!  I’m so excited!  This trip started out as just a simple girls’ trip to celebrate mine and another girl’s birthdays (go Taurus!), but has since turned into another blogger campaign.  A ‘Tropical Escape’ to be exact.  So, I wanted […]

MY FIRST TWOSOME

I’m still pretty new to this fashion & lifestyle blogging thing.  There’s a lot of firsts for me now that I’ve reached a certain level of engagement on my social media platforms.  Actually, it’s more like just Instagram, who am I trying to kid?  With that said, I’ve recently engaged in my first twosome.  Don’t […]

WEDDING APPROPRIATE

My little brother is getting married.  Yes, my brother who is 5 years younger than me, is getting married before me.  #Storyofmylife.  However, don’t expect me to go down without a fight and show up in a conservative Chinese wedding appropriate dress.  I expect to walk into this wedding with a POW.  My sister, who […]

QUICK TO JUDGE

One of the first things I will openly admit is how judgmental I am.  I’m not bragging.  This isn’t exactly a great quality to have, but it is what it is.  I’m quick to judge a person within the first 5 minutes of our conversation.  This could easily explain why I only have a handful […]

THE CLASSICS OF GRANA

There’s a new kid in town when it comes to quality basics and staples for your wardrobe, and that’s GRANA, a brand who’s concept was first derived in Peru and then later moved to Hong Kong.  I knew something was different and unique about GRANA as soon as I touched their fabrics.  QUALITY was the […]

DINNER AND A MOVIE

Some people might find that a dinner and a movie is outdated and too boring of a date, but I find that there’s a romanticism to doing the good old classic date night.  Here’s my take on my dinner and movie date this past Sunday: I recently started talking to a new guy, (and fingers […]
