Winter White

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Grace

Today when I wore this outfit to work, my husband actually asked, “I thought you weren’t allowed to wear white after Labor Day?” I smiled and replied, “Honey, get with it! Who ever said fashion had rules anyway?” I’m here to say YES, YOU CAN wear white after Labor Day! The winter white trend took over the runways this fall and the models wore it well…now, so can you! The key is to not focus so much on the color, but on giving it your own special style…just add some classic accessories or some fun embellishments! Trying a new trend may seem scary, but you’ll never know how much you’ll love it, unless you try it. So go ahead and be rebellious this holiday, wear your winter white and be the snow angel you are!

For evening, change the shoes! I wore nude pumps to work and switched to sparkly peep toes later on in the evening.

Spotted-Bobby Pins

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Grace

In Nina Garcia’s book, “The One Hundred”, she didn’t mention bobby pins as one of her top one hundred style items, but I think that good bobby pins for your styling are a must! It’s funny how much I have realized this while living in Malaysia, where the heat and humidity do wonders for my hair…hence I wear it up quite often. Therefore, I have included bobby pins as number 10 in my One Hundred. Although there is really no method to my madness as I like messy, tousled buns, my bobby pins sure come in handy to keep each strand secure for a long day at work. Below is a list of some of my favorites.

NUMBER 10/100 – BOBBY PINS

WORK

1.) Goody Colour Collection, Small Metallic Blonde – I am currently using these and I really like the way they hold my hair, although after a long day, I’m ready to get them out!

2.) Scunci No-slip Grip Beautiful Blends Blonde – when I head back to the States I am going to try to find another packet of these…I love the colors in the blonde pack…very natural. They sell them in different colors as well.

3.) Meta Grip Premium – I have read some reviews about these online, so when I get back to the States, I’m going to run to Sally’s Beauty Supply and grab a pack to see how they work. Hey, they are patented Japanese technology, what more could you ask for?

Travel-Cambodia, Bayon Temple

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Grace

On our recent trip to Cambodia, as also detailed in this post, we spent the entire day wondering around temples and taking in their glory. Located close to the Ankor Wat temple, the Bayon temple is known for its massive, detailed stone faces…there are 216 of them! This temple was built in the late 12th or early 13th century and was one of my favorite temples to see. How amazing to think that these faces were carved from stone over 700 years ago!
