Sidewalks Are Runways

H&M cropped shirt / Zara skort / Zara espadrilles (on sale) / Ray-Ban clubmaster sunglasses / Bag from Beijing

This shirt was added to my expanding collection of copped tops for the exorbitant price of $2. Nothing like 50% off the clearance price of the already good-looking expense of an H&M item. So really, it would have been rude not to.

I stole these espadrilles from my sister to make-up for…

You Are My Summer (ft. Coleman Hell & Jayme) – La+ch Let’s start with some house, from our Canadian neighbors up north. The reason this post is late today is due to the fact I have been dancing around my bedroom to this for the past few hours. Normally I would stray far away…

New Travel Post: Postcards From Phewa Tal, Nepal

I want to have a word with the patron saint of folklore. I have a few questions to pick his mind with. Mostly concerning the validity of the concept of  being “lucky” when a bird shits on your head. Because I want some answers, and it seems (s)he is the last resource. After perusing the world wide web for answers (yes I just spent half an hour googling “why is it considered lucky when a bird…

  H&M blouse / H&M baggy boyfriend jeans

After years of avoiding the denim section of any store, for no other reason than I just really really like skirts, I decided this was ridiculous behaviour that needed end. So I bought a pair of perfectly baggy boyfriend jeans. It is not an exaggeration when I say my life has been infinitely better since.

New Outfit Post: 50mm

Rbl shirt / Zara skort / Tom Ford sunglasses / Bag from Beijing

After blogging (on and off) for what feels like forever, it seemed about time to update some of my gadgets. So this weekend I finally got my act together, clicked a few buttons, and purchased a 50mm lens. It’s been a long time coming given that my first foray into the strange world of posting about myself on the internet was back in…

All The Time- Bahamas 

It’s so easy to switch on Bahamas, pour yourself a drink, lie somewhere where the sun has no choice but to reach you, sing “i got allllll the time in da world, don’t you want some of dat?”, and pretend you have actually been transported to the island.…

H&M cropped tank / La Chapelle skirt (Chinese store)/ Nasty Gal bag / David Yurman bracelet / Zara heels / Nars Niagara lipstick

The first time I wore this skirt someone casually mentioned that it looked like Jackson Pollockhad taken too much LSD and vomited all over me. Staggeringly this only seemed to further it’s appeal… not necessarily what the commenter was going for. Not one to ever want…

Back in the golden olden days, when my palette was less mature and I had yet to reach my self-proclaimed #foodie stage, I visited the the South for the first time. The original 2007 trip’s purpose was to play on the famed tennis courts of Hilton Head, but in-between working on our backhands the family decided to throw in two day-trips to Charleston and Savannah. Looking back now (although my…

Despite residing in America for the better half of the past decade, the first time I ever held a gun was last summer in Tel Aviv. Over a few drinks at a soldier-friend’s apartment, he asked if my sister and I would be interested in having a peek at a portion of his gun collection. Nervous but alwayscurious, we eagerly nodded. Amused by our amazement, he let us handle one of his guns (literally…

    Thoughts 

How many months in a row can I proclaim “OH WOW THAT WAS AN AMAZING MONTH”, before you have no choice but to virtually slap me across the Internet? Here’s to hoping I can squeeze a few more out.

June started with me moving out of my apartment in Beijing and transferring all of my belongings to a friend’s apartment in the downtown-area of the city. Having only just moved into this…

What’s the difference between America and a yogurt?

Pause.

If you leave yogurt alone for 200 years it will develop a culture. ******

Yeah? No? Is that a slight smile forming on your face? No? Damn. Sorry.

Luckily there is enough Americana-inspired music to last us for the next 200 years. Here is a 60-track playlist ranging from oldies to country to rap to good ol Lana Del Rey, to keep you and…

Words of Wisdom: Anais Nin

Quotations: Because sometimes those who have lived before us actually have something significant to say. Sometimes. 

I first learnt of Anaïs Nin thanks to her sexploits with a certain Henry Miller. (Sidenote: if you are currently existing without reading Tropic of Cancer, drop everything and start it…now.) But it wasn’t until about a year ago that I first started paying attention to her work as…

It’s been a while since I was lounging around the beaches of Bali, about 5 months to be exact, so there are blips in my memory where the minuscule details of the trip used to reside. A lot of other experiences have occurred in those past 5 months (how the hell is it already July?!) but as the taste of the last shot of Arak lingers, as the smell of the local incense continues to fill my bedroom,…

    Despite constantly being told that to help my sleeping patterns I should refrain from browsing the interwebs for the first 30 minutes I am awake, and the last 30 before falling asleep again, I repeatedly heed no attention to the advice. I am an addictafter all. An internet addict. But who can blame me when there is too much to learn, to read, to connect with, and ultimately endless amounts…

Palmetto Breeze: A Charleston Harbour Cruise

A couple of nights ago, a friend informed me that she had recently watched a National Geographic documentary that claimed (and backed up) the statement that mermaids are in fact, real. Encouraged by the two empty bottles of wine next to us, her voice became raised and her energy hyped, while she explained to me the evidence in the documentary. The shocked look on my face only encouraged her…

Lush tank top (similar) / Topshop skirt / Forever 21 necklace / Tom Ford sunglasses / Swatch “White Rebel” watch / Sam Edelman sandals (similar) / bag from Beijing.

It seems the optimum technique for rebounding from the disgruntlement of the termination of one trip, is to instantaneously board an aircraft directed towards another destination. Within 12 hours of landing back home in the United…
