Shortall Saturday!

Image
This week, I had a taste of what summer is gonna be like. Besides the rain, it has been hot and humid. So I decided to finally use my shortall! Shortalls and overalls are having a comeback! The 90s fashion is back! I remember we call it "jumper" when I was in grade school. Back then,  this is how we did it! (For the younger generation who's reading this, yup, I agree, it is a def OMG! lol) All the cool kids always had one strap undone. Or the whole top part is undone!  I won't forget that Sunday I pulled this Destiny's Child look to church! And oh boy, I heard a "sermon" from my grandpa! Hahaha Oh well, these were the things that made us cool back in the day. But 18 years later, here I am again trapped in overalls and shortalls! snack time at The Plaza Food Hall I have always loved the "P" engraved in the concrete. Because then I can pretend it is mine. lol For those who don...

For the book lovers, (and movie lovers) this Wedding Wednesday is for you. In the summer of 2010, My friend & I met this lady while having lunch at then Mesa Grill. (Ah I miss Mesa Grill! Paging Bobby Flay! lol) She was sitting beside us and I saw her with books in her table. another leftie like me! Being Miss Congeniality, I asked if she is the author of the book. And alas, she was! We got a signed copy of her book.  Meet J. Courtney Sullivan with her pic in the back of the book My connection with Courtney stayed all these years. Fast forward to 2014, the title of this book is perfect for my upcoming graduation! Can't believe I'm attending my Commencement Ceremony in Radio City soon! She wrote another book entitled, "Maine". Maine was named Best Book of the Year by Time magazine and Washington Post Notable Book for 2011. And last year, "The Engagements" came out. ...

Monday Mantra

Since it's Monday, let's start the week with something happy! I really love this mantra. And personally,  this is one of my philosophies when dressing up. Because when you feel happy with what you are wearing, it radiates out and shows that you look happy as well. For those who doesn't know about Peter Som's collaboration with Kohl's, the collection was inspired by St. Barths. It evokes the colors, the culture and the bliss of island life. If you missed my earlier post about  Peter Som's DesigNation collection for Kohl's, here's the link . I am a bridesmaid to my girl friend's upcoming destination beach wedding in Dominican Republic. Her bridal shower was also beach-themed, so I decided to wear a dress from this collection. with the bride  And since I am one of the hosts, I thought of dressing up the postcard shirtdress. So this is a casual dress perfect for the summer or the beach.  ...
