After a delightful week in Taiwan with the warmest hospitality from my family, especially my cousin, mom and I were off to Vietnam! We flew into Saigon but unfortunately was only there for a day before taking off to the charming town of Hoi An. I can see why this quaint town was inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage list and really appreciate the preservation of the history and culture

2014-12-18T01:08:00.002-08:00

I have been bit by the travel bug and bit hard! It seems that all I have been wanting to do ever since my first international trip in over 10 years last November is travel, travel, travel some more and see the world. After looking back at Italy pictures from the trip with Shane (we went to Rome with day trips to Vatican City, Ostia Antica, and Florence) and the one with my sister (10 days to

Aloha! While I am not in Hawaii (unfortunately) this dress reminds me of the bright colors and beautiful tropical flowers of the islands so it feels like I have been transported to a hawaiian vacation (which I so desperately need right now). It is one of those dresses that require very minimal accessorizing to feel like a million bucks and is quite versatile; the right accessories can

HEAT WAVE / Warm weather uniform wearing chambray and ripped denim shorts

2014-10-07T01:34:00.000-07:00

It's officially Fall and has been for two weeks now but instead of the crisp air and the slight breeze that comes this time of year we got hit with a heat wave this past weekend. And it seems that it is continuing on throughout the week. I'm not complaining though because I love warm summer days so the more the merrier.

Hi! Sharing some very special and happy news today... Shane and I are engaged! I am so ecstatic to share our proposal story on this blog because Shane incorporated my blog (which is practically my baby) into his big surprise plan and that alone already means so much to me. Unfortunately it wasn't as easy as 1, 2, 3 for Shane as he prepared months in advance for the big day and he had to

With warmer weather quickly approaching it was only appropriate to break out the open-toe sandals and bright white dress. I wore this dress a couple months ago but it was practically hidden underneath the trench. And now it is back out again but this time halfway hidden with the tank. Oops! I promise there is nothing wrong with the dress, I just haven't found an occasion to wear an

As we headed towards the center of Italy to Rome the weather warmed up and I was able to wear dresses/skirts without tights! As warm as it was there was still winds so for security I would put on a pair of Nike Pro Compression shorts underneath; I do not have the ego nor the body that the Romans did to put all of me on display when a gust of wind blows up my dress, haha.
