The 10 Closet Commandments

10 Closet Commandments

Something I appreciate about creating a personal aesthetic is that it is a task we are always growing at.  What we were when we were 3 probably doesn’t reflect much of our current wardrobe (apparently I owned a purple raincoat that never left my body.  I also recall having super girl pajamas that I liked… [Read More...]

Making A Stylish Investment

Stylish investment

Before I completely fell into my drab wasteland I had a moment of chic clarity.  And in this moment I made an Outnet purchase and with it a stylish investment. For those unfamiliar with The Outnet, I wrote about it HERE previously.  Now, I am in no way sponsored by The Outnet (but wouldn’t mind… [Read More...]

Modern Linen Pants

linen pants 2

Besides the occasional pair of jeans around the apartment, I have worn pants a total of one time since moving to Singapore.  And it was horrible.  Seriously, I sweat so badly I had to peel them off me when I got home (and they were already skinny jeans so you can imagine how that process… [Read More...]

Putting The Care Into Skincare

skincare

In my return to chic, I thought I would start with the very, very basics.  My skin.  And I think the only way to kick this off is to share a very honest photo of me- no makeup, no retouching or editing (okay, I did crop it, but that is it!  I promise!) —I didn’t… [Read More...]

Chanel Resort 2014 Collection – Singapore

CHANEL_079_1366.450x675

During my self-imposed social media exile something important happened:  Chanel came to Singapore.  That’s right, Karl Lagerfeld, who likes to take his secondary seasons to exotic locals, brought the Chanel Resort 2014 Collection to Singapore.  You know, the island where I happen to live. The heartbreaking part is that I didn’t get to see the… [Read More...]

Battling The New Mom Uniform

Crimes Against Fashion

Confession- I lost my Chic.  I’ve found myself in the abyss of the new mom uniform. There I said it.  Somewhere between Chicago, Atlanta and Singapore and following the birth of my daughter it happened.  I found myself dressing in a uniform. Now- don’t completely freak out.  I didn’t do the typical new mom uniform… [Read More...]

Miss Dior Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

Miss Dior Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

I am sucker for black and white (I mean did you see my post on my favorite black & white dresses?!).  And that love extends to photography.  And right now I am loving the Miss Dior Spring 2013 Ad Campaign featuring Jennifer Lawrence and photographed by Willy Vanderperre. I’ve mentioned it many, many times, but… [Read More...]

Welcome To May

peahens

I was all excited- I had planned to take photos for a post today.  Outfit set out.  Hair done.  The latter a major accomplishment considering the humidity I am exposed to here… But alas, it wasn’t meant to be.  At least not today.  The skies opened up and an on-again, off-again rain claimed the afternoon.… [Read More...]

Wish List: RumbaTime Orchard Watch

rumbatime orchard watch

I’ve done a lot of Wish List posts (what can I say, I like to window shop!), but this one is a little bit different.  This Wish List post should be called “Wish-No-More-Because-This-Item-Is-Totally-Attainable” List.   What is the item you ask?  It is the RumbaTime Orchard Watch and it has a lot going for it. To start,… [Read More...]
