Halloween is approaching fast which means our season is changing and it also means time to feed your skin and keep up its moisture. Drinking lots of water keeps the skin hydrated and most important thing is that water is a natural detoxing agent, it helps you cleanse and purify your body while you sweat it out. Besides water, make sure you apply (and reapply) your sunblocks all year round especially in the winter. Sleep well, eat whole and raw food such as cucumber, blueberry, parsley, kale, banana....etc. are definitely a year round feed-your-body-well ritual for all of us. Last month, I received Tatcha's new product: Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen . I am telling you, the moment I received their heart-warming box, not only it reminds me to continue pampering my skin but also demonstrate how serious Tatcha treats their product and their customers. I patiently give it a try for a month and finally I can share this NOT-a-SECRET and ...

Friend and I were talking about how the fashion trends are so mixed these days. It pretty much blends in all the looks in different eras and it doesn't seem we have a boundary at all. Oh yeah, no boundary!! Personally, I don't think I have figured out all the different styles in different eras unless it is around my mom's generation or before mine and current.  Occasionally, I recognize those trends from movies and sometimes I'd play dress-up with my girl friends in our outing. It is a way of living and a way of enjoy our life. Over the years I realized two things that the first one is my mom has exquisite taste in styles and that's how I got a sense of fashion.  And the second is since she is a really picky eater that made me a total opposite of her: a non-picky eater and a not bad cook. Well, unless I confined myself NOT to touch certain food out of health concern I pretty much eat everything that is edible. ha~   ...

I have been neglected my blog for a while but definitely not neglect fashion trends nor heathy life style. As a matter of fact, if you browse my side bar on FB, you will see lots of updates and even my IG is full of updates too. Well, I know, that is not an excuse for not updating my blog here.  I have traveled back to my hometown Taipei 3 times this year and I am surprised that I still enjoy flying so much after quitting a flight attendant 10 years ago.  I also went to Bali and stayed at Mulia, this world class resort, with my family and relatives. I had the best time, best water-rafting experience and took the best yoga pictures there.  So here it is slowly catching up as my hectic life with travel, house remodeling, shopping, yoga advance.....etc. I hope you continue be inspired and enjoy our life journey together.  Full Wheel with one leg.   King Dancer's pose in my full expression  With my Lavish Alice dress s...

I have always loved camo. prints. I had an inspiration from my acting friend who is in her 50s and she wears the most fierce camo. print cargo pants ever. And ever since I am in love with the prints and deeply believe that camouflage print is suitable for every age. However, don't wear it head to toe, otherwise you will certainly look like a soldier in real life.    And that is NOT fashion and it is NOT fun at all.  So what's the key to pull off a camouflage print piece?? Try a little feminine and a little tailored like my pencil skirt. The blush sleeveless trench also adds a softer touch to the whole look. What do you think?  J crew camisole, came. print pencil skirt, Sophie Webster sandals, Sara Battaglia clutch, Lavish Alice sleeveless trench  Don't you adore the angular bow look which tough up the otherwise too feminine clutch? The camouflage skirt is feminine enough with the hard cased bow clutch, I think the...

I have been away from USA for more than 2 weeks.  After Taipei and Bali, I am finally HOME, San Francisco.   New acquisitions during my Asia trip: Fendi monster slip-ons and monster pouch.   My fancy oolong tea with tasteless gold flakes.  Chicken soup before I passed out for 10 Hours in plane while flying back to San Francisco.  The new Boeing-777 is uber comfortable and smartly configured with useful compartments.  Paper Towns Mandarine translated version ( NOT so found of the translation and that tells me I should read its original version for any movie novels in the future.) 

Overall is easy to wear except troublesome enough when you have to go to the restroom that you might think twice before you wear it. Even though, I still like the posh look when wearing my tailored one. I wore my jean overall a lazy way that I left several buttons undone and had a white tank top on top. It is a pull-up pants with shoulder straps and there you can imagine how much trouble i saved myself. Ha ha~  I am traveling to Taipei and then Bali next month and including this time, I have been back to my hometown Taipei 3 times. And it becomes my habit that everytime I travel I will pack something new with me. It doesn't have to be high fashion or expensive piece but something that activates my adventurous mode. As for what did I buy this time??? You know, tropical countries are hot and it is time to reinvent some of my bathing suits. Agree? Reclaimed vintage earrings.  Diesel denim overall, Adidas Stan Smith sn...

Culottes, I never think it is man-repellent nor categorize into a tom-boy look. It really depends on how you accessorize your look. Heels will always make any outfit instantly feminine and sexy. Don't you think so? As for the tops' options, you can always choose between more skin revealing or less, as long as you don't bundle yourself up in this look, you will be fine. There is a fine line between looking attractive and looking too avant-garde like a star-war character. ha~   It is a coincident that I did two consecutive posts on Culottes. Believe me, I wear way more than just these two outfits between my last post.  Ralph Lauren cami top, Culottes, YSL tribute plush sandals, Chanel Clair classic flap, Marni necklace  Some fun rings.  Have a great weekend, y'all!!  xoxo Rachel
