Going blue and minty green

I get loads of comments and questions from readers asking me "Exactly how many handbags do you own?" Sometimes specifically "How many Balenciaga bags do you own?". I think I give the impression that I own a lot of Balenciaga bags. Truth is, I own five. They are all in the same style, which is the City because I find this style works with me the best. Does the number five considered to be "alot"? Well, I guess it is all relative, isnt' it? I know many handbag lovers out there own way more than I do. I think the reason why it seems like I have alot of Balenciaga is because they are all in very different colours. Thus every time when I do carry one, it seems like a complete different bag again. Maybe this makes sense?
Anyhow, onto my non Balenciaga bags. My other favourite handbag brand is Rebecca Minkoff. I also own about five of them and I have been loving this brand for quite some times. I have always been a warm tone kind of person. I love red, pink, orange and yellow. So you rarely see me in blue or green. To kick off spring, I thought I would add one of the hottest colours this season: minty green. I scored this bag on Rebecca Minkoff website when they were having the Friends and Family sale. I had been eyeing this bag for a few months and finally took the plunge and bought it at a good price. I hope to start experimenting with the colour green. Do you have a favourite "fail-safe" colour you always go to? And if so, are you brave enough to step outside the box this season?

Hide it with a hat

I have been very fortunate to have "dead straight" hair naturally. I guess it is a blessing as well as a "curse" lol. I have gone through phases when I really wanted to put some curls in my hair in the past. I called that phase "Carrie Bradshaw" wanna be moment. I quickly realised that my hair is not built to have perms or curls in it. It is just too fine and not enough of it to pull off that look. Now I am living in peace with my straight hair. One of the best things about my fine straight hair is I hardly need to do much in the morning. A little dab of Agave oil and the end and my hair naturally just falls straight, sometimes even without a comb!
Back to topic. Today is a really flat hair day (aka bad hair day). To hide it all I decided to pull out my trusty hat for the photos. I am dressing super casual as we need to run a bunch of errands afterwards. I hope your day is going well! Thanks so much for reading and I will "speak" to you in my next blog post :)

Spring blooming

Spring on the west coast of America usually means abundance of cherry blossoms trees everywhere. Portland houses some of the most gorgeous cherry blossom trees I have seen. Since it is the very official beginning of spring, they have just starting to "pop", kind of like pop-corns! Today on our way out to lunch, we walked pass by a strips of cherry blossoms and I decided to walk right in it. I like to surround myself with these beautiful creations :)
You will probably not see me in true spring clothes for another month (or even two) just because it is still rather chilly outside. Believe me, I want to ditch my coats and jackets but my frozen hands would disagree with me! So be patient (talking to myself now)! It's just a matter of time!
I have been doing some online window shopping mostly searching for spring/summer appropriate accessories like bags and sandals. I already scored a couple of things recently so be on the look out for their reveals here on the blog! Happy spring <3
