I guess by now the cat’s out of the bag, I am a big Hennes & Mauritz fan. In fact, I’m a big fan of everything from Sweden. So its no surprise that when H&M rolled out their Eco-Friendly Brand, the Conscious Collection I would be the first in line to nab a few. Who could resist the collection, its sustainable & adorable at the same time. That white fluff you see on the left is my dog Max One of the reasons why I love Summer is getting to wear Summer whites. So Fresh & So Clean look. This year when I was organizing my shoes, I came across…

Channel your inner Bohemian Girl
Here I am trying to channel my inner bohemian self with my own flair. My love for maxi dresses has always been hampered by my height. Being a petite Asian girl – its quite a challenge to find one that fits. Most of the time, I usually end up having it altered. For now I have found the perfect solution, platforms! Thank goodness for platforms, I especially love DANY by Jessica Simpson – the height is just perfect.

On Thursday, May 12th, I attended the Mango Model-Stylist Event hosted by the beautiful,Miss Natalie Suarez from Natalie Off Duty.

Madewell Fall 2011
Madewell’s casual tomboy charm went in an even more masculine direction for fall. Kin Ying Lee, head of design, said the idea was “Madewell goes to work” with a focus on men’s wear-inspired trousers, blazers and cardigans styled with suspenders and brogues. There was robust outerwear such as a blanket wool poncho and a Penfield jacket, wool cargo pants, sweatshirt knits and shirtdresses anchored in classic navy and burgundy yet with a flash of color — orange or yellow — here and there. As for Madewell’s novelty stock, dip-dyed stripe T-shirts by Le Minor of Montauk and Doc Martens are in the mix for fall. (CLICK on PHOTOS to enlarge).

Brooklyn Sunday
Hi guys! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. As usual I spent my weekend running around like a crazy mad woman. My weekend started off with a romantic dinner with hubby. We had lobster rolls for dinner (YUMMY in my TUMMY) so naturally, I stuffed my face. Saturday and Sunday was spent with the family grilling cheeseburgers, cleaning, shopping, watching movies, taking photos, cooking some more and driving around NYC. Whew, exhausting. It was one of those weekends where I was feeling a bit adventurous. I dug into my closet and just said what the heck. Lets make it fun and put on my favorite things. I’m not so sure about the end result, its not…
