    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

    July 10, 2015

    One perk of living on the East Coast is how close I am now to my favorite city in the world. We travel to New York several times a year and there wasn’t once we didn’t stop by Momofuku Milk Bar. I cannot testify to other goodies in the store

    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

    A Soft Palette

    June 10, 2015

    This is what I wore on a past weekend. The hat, the shorts, the sandals are easily staples; the scarf isn’t so much so – but I like how this impulse buy actually found a fitting place here. 😉    For its hefty price, I wish the sweater were a tad

    Don’t Pack Away Your Fall Clothes Yet

    June 3, 2015

    I love the idea of mixing the cool with the cozy. But more importantly, from a practical point of view, some light fall items can indeed come handy in days of erratic weather. I’ve longed to wear this wooly vest just as is but couldn’t find a suitable day till

    Silk Safari

    May 28, 2015

    Weekend errands call for something easy and casual. And this shirt isn’t just that – it has everything I adore in one: an olive hue, two safari pockets, and the thick, opaque silk fabric. And speaking of adorable things, this cute window at good outshines likely everything, me and my

    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

    Soft Fringe

    May 8, 2015

    I’ve been wearing both this fringe sweater and these neon pumps often lately, and I realized I haven’t posted much about either. So there you go. When I discovered these d’orsay pumps during an online window-shopping break at work, I sent the shopping link to hubby and put “LOL” in

    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
