First winter post with Zara and Rebecca Minkoff

Oh how I have ignored my blog in the last month or so is not something I can find a word to describe it. So what happened? Well, the usual, I have been busy with work, travel to visit family oversea then followed by bad jet-lag of course. Ok I will let you in on a little secret, the other reason was being I gained weight in the past several months and was horrified to find all of winter jeans did not fit any longer (gasp). I had two solutions, go out and buy a new wardrobe of jeans in larger sizes (sounds tempting I know), or suck it up and lose the extra weight. Well I chose the later. However it has NOT easy. I don't feel embarrassed to tell you that I have gained about 6-7 kg in a period of a year. So far (it's only been a month) I have managed to shake off about 4 kg so there's about 3 more kg to go but at least I can now fit into some of my old winter jeans (phew).
I don't want this post to become a ramble and complain about my weight but it goes to show you by avoiding weighing yourself for as long as I have (which is about 12 months) certainly has not been the best decision I have made.
I hope you can forgive my absence and give me some encouragement on this weight control journey. It's good to be back posting though. I can't wait to wear all of my favourite winter outfits!
p.s. this Mini Perry Rebecca Minkoff went back to Shopbop yesterday. It is unfortunate that the product is flawed with cracked leather and defective magnetic closure. Lovely bag though...

Zara short coat (old from last year but I LOVE this one from this year), 7 for All Mankind coated jeans, Sam Edelman booties (here, highly recommended, so comfy and so easy to match with all outfits), Rebecca Minkoff Mini Perry bag (here, in love with this orange colour) and Lindberg sunglassess

Thanks so much for reading. I aim to post every week <3

As the leaves fall.....

It is happening. Leaves are starting to fall off the trees here in the Pacific Northwest. I swear it literally happened overnight. Everywhere I go I see these beautifully gold paved roads. Some of the remaining leaves that are still hanging on the trees have this pretty translucent pinkish colour. I will try to snap a picture and share it on IG if I ever get a chance. Time like this is really short and precious. I guess this is one of the reasons many people love autumn because of the mesmerising colour changing (and still somewhat dry weather).
I hope your changing season is going well (for those of you in the southern hemisphere, happy spring). Work is calling, gotta go, talk to you all real soon :)

Zara top (old, last season), Sam Edelman Petty boooties (here, so comfy), Mulberry Alexa bag, Stella and Dot necklace (old, last season) and Lindberg sunglassess.

Thanks so much for reading :)

Early autumn Sunday with Vita Fede

I have been really into dainty jewelry lately. I remember not too long ago when the huge YSL Arty rings were all the rage and I picked up two while they were still in production. Husband's reaction when he first saw those giant size rings were "whoa, they look like mushroom on your finger". What? Mushroom? Oh men, what do they know? I thought. A year and some later, I have completely switched up and started collecting little dainty ornaments on my hands.
Vita Fede is one of my latest splurges as seen here on my right wrist. I have been lusting over this for many many months but was afraid to get it due to sizing issues. When VF finally came out with extra small size, I still hesitated due to the high price. Finally, I realized that XS is rare and every time I went back to Shopbop to look at it, quantity just kept dropping. Finally, I pulled the trigger last week and got this silver and rose gold beauty. I am so happy I finally bought one. For those of you with small wrists (my is 5 1/2 inch), XS fits me perfectly! Thank you Vita Fede for making them in this size and thank you Shopbop for your speedy shipping. My wrist couldn't be happier :)
What kind of jewelry are you into lately?

Vita Fede mini titan two tone bangle (XS in this combo), Baublebar Love ring (sold out but lovethis one), Citrine ring (this Etsy shop), Rebecca Minkoff Hudson mini moto bag (love this fall orange one) and Rebecca Minkoff espadrilles (spring style sold out, alternative with Sam Edelman ones here)

Have a wonderful week ahead, thanks for reading :)
