    #ThingsThatGetMeOutofBed

    July 22, 2015

    @ThinkingCup, the place that makes some of my favorite espresso drinks in town. I’m also getting these sweet and smoky barbecue chicken sandwiches today. They’re perfectly light but flavorful. Love how the tender meat, together with vinegary pickles, are sandwiched between sourdough slices, my favorite kind of bread. As a coffee fanatic,

    Fabric of the Season

    July 21, 2015

    These satin pants have become my absolute favorite this season. The silk fabric is featherlight, soft, and wrinkle-resistant. Order your normal size – the fit is perfect. The 100% silk top I’m wearing was from H&M’s Premium Quality collection. Again, I cannot recommend that line enough – despite the fabric may

    All In the Details

    July 17, 2015

    Obsessed with the weighty, matt milky crepe fabric of this dress. The high-low hem and reverse seam add gorgeous details to the dress’ simple and luxe sentiment. Fit: fitted cut. true to size. I’m wearing a size 00. The cutout back and plunging neckline may require a plunge backless bra and possibly some adhesive garment

    It’s funny how I got converted too – they say macarons are a blogger’s thing. I was never a big fan of these little French snobs (and no pun intended). I had a hard time getting it – besides a potential sugar high, what else is about these petite meringue

    Theory of Monochrome

    July 15, 2015

    A friend once brought up the New York based label, Theory, and asked what I think of it. She further clarified that instead of posing a question, she was rather venting a mix of disbelief and confusion about the brand’s “plain” approach to style and hefty prices. I completely understand

    White Summer

    July 13, 2015

    White poplin has definitely been a latest obsession of mine. This flowy shirtdress isn’t strictly a poplin weave but its exact rustic hand is no less adorable. This dress has a loose textile structure that lies between cotton and linen; the large patch pockets are finished with decorative flaps; the

    Easy Weekender

    June 23, 2015

    Best thing of rising up early on a Saturday? It’s gotta be those bubbly, fresh-out-of-oven soft and warm pretzel bites! I’m not exactly a morning person, but few things beat the gratification of standing in the line at my favorite cafe for a cup of cappuccino and breakfast-only foods, knowing

    Easy Breezy

    May 19, 2015

    Warm weather dressing is invigoratingly unfussy; and I’ve been waiting a whole year for that ease. I wore this outfit on a beautiful Saturday: I slipped into this airy, flowy one-piece, wiggled into these roomy sneakers without even bothering with the shoe laces, and grabbed my accessories on my way

    Elf Ears on My Wrists

    May 6, 2015

    When I had these photos taken, I stood in the blazing sun; the dark shade in front looked alluringly cool. And I thought, summer’s really here! In Boston, that means packed sidewalks and a grueling complexity in securing a table at almost all trendy restaurants across town. But that certainly doesn’t stop us from
