Hot Fall Hues

One of this year’s most memorable trend is the pop of neon in one’s outfit. During the spring and summer months, these hot hues were all the rave… from skirts, to purses, to heels… you name it, women wore it in this unexpected pop of color.

It’s a great time to wear it during a cold day like today. In this chilly season, a hot color can easily make our days brighter… literally!

It’s not a secret that I’ve always used my style and fashion to lift up my mood, especially on those days where I feel tired due to my daily grind. It’s just so much harder to dress up in these colder months that I feel grateful that I can turn to colorful outfits.  I use it to remember the great summer and spring months.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I look forward to looking back at all the wonderful blessings this year has brought. This blog has definitely grown in more ways than I expected and I would like to express my gratitude so definitely look forward to some giveaways in the coming holiday season.

I believe that we make a difference through the simple things and may something as simple as putting color in our ensemble make our day a little more special. Learn to dress for yourself, not for others. At the end of the day, it will be you who will have the last look on yourself and wouldn’t it be better if you saw yourself brightfully from the beginning to the end?

So lets cheer up! Just because the temperature is dropping and the sky is cloudy doesn’t mean you have to settle for drab and gloomy color palettes in your closet.  Let’s be different and brighten up the day!

Escaping to a Breeze and a View at Terranea

Every Summer, I yearn to leave the busy and hectic office and escape to the beach’s warm breezy coastline weather. One of the places I often go to are the Ocean Trails Cliffs at Palos Verdes.  I find the area peaceful and calming. Near the cliffs is the Terranea Resort, which provided stunning ocean views. Being here, enjoying the view and weather, truly feels like a relaxing moment. I can just forget about everything!

I just love going to coastal cities in Socal!  It is so quaint and charming out here.  The community in the area is affluent and there are even horse trails too.

Feel of a Coastal Estate

I noticed that the community is also visited often by runners, hikers, horseback riders, bird watchers, surfers, scuba divers, and bicyclists.  Of course, my friends who love to play golf like this area too as there are several golf courses and country clubs.

Ocean View Pools 

One of the amenities I love most about the resort are their ocean-view pools.  It is usually heated about 85 degress, which is the perfect temparture for a dip at any season!  In the property, I saw kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, horseback riders, and fire pits!  Luckily for me, the resort was even having a Summer afternoon jazz concert and barbeque by the cliff.  It truly felt like an escape since I can just lounge and enjoy the music.

There is a beautiful ocean view that can be enjoyed from so many places here and the ocean breeze feels refreshing and cool. It reminds me of the Sonoma coast. Last time I went to Palos Verdes, I spotted numerous dolphins and blue whales just hanging out nearby.  It was spectacular.

I thought the setting is really beautiful, with some walking trails that overlooks the rocky coast.

A spectacular venue isn’t it? Hiking and scenic vistas everywhere.

Ah… it’s a pity I can’t permanently enjoy this resort, but I’m glad I’m able to enjoy such beautiful escapes such as this. It’s important for us busy women to find the time to unwind, relax, and enjoy the view. Cheers!

Celebrate in Red

Happy Monday!  How was your Father’s Day Weekend?  Lovely, I hope!

Last year, I wore the exact same dress during Mother’s Day when I celebrated it with my mom in Las Vegas.  This year, I wanted to wear it too in honor of Father’s Day.  There is something about wearing red during special occasions.  Red is the color of love and passion.  Definitely perfect for holidays.  However, the color is also regarded as an appetite stimulant – perhaps this explains common weight gain during the holiday season. ;p

My first sense of “high fashion” came from the presents my sisters and I received from my dad during his business trips.  There is something wonderful about collecting eclectic fashion items from around the world.  It broadens our knowledge of style and makes us aware of other cultures.

I remember my schoolmates would compliment me on my top or my pair of denims and they always sound surprised when I tell them my dad bought it for me during his business trip.

In his visit in Los Angeles, he surprised me when he brought 7 pairs of shoes from his trip to Asia (he knows, from raising 3 ladies, that shoes make girls happy).  They were from a brand called Charles & Keith from Singapore.  I was elated!

I am thankful that my family allowed me to be who I am, expressing my style freely as early as a child.  I got my passion for jewelry from my mom.  I paired my outfit with this gorgeous 14k pink gold and black onyx matching earrings and ring from Italy.

14k Pink Gold & Onyx Black & White Enamel Italian Earrings & Ring

In the jewelry industry, pink gold has been around for several years.  However, I noticed that it is only 2 years after we see it does it appear in retail stores.  There’s many other variety of jewelry trends that came after pink gold.  I’ll be showing you an example of some other “gold colors” that came after pink gold that hasn’t completely hit the market yet on a later blog post.

As another reason for me to feel elated…  my family is coming to visit me again in a few weeks and I am soo excited as we will be traveling to the east coast as well.

Stay tuned for posts from one of my favorite cities — New York!  The last time I went, I saw the New Year’s ball drop in Times Square!   Looking forward to more adventures in the city that never sleeps!

I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day celebration with your dads, or guardians, or just simply being surrounded with love.  Love makes a family after all. =)
