Summers in an office environment are often difficult, and with all this talk about dress code, it’s important to understand how to dress appropriately for your office. Every environment is very different, even within the same field, so ask the questions if you are unsure and I’m always prepared with a sweater incase the air-conditioning is blasting too much.

Update: Internet problems + website issues = the blog went on a break! But looks like we are back with tons of new post and exciting projects in the works!

My first catch post will be for Valentine’s Day 2015, when Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what they were doing and how they were celebrating the special day. I decided to share with you my outfit from date night, and the story of Trevor and my yearly tradition V-day Thai food dinner. Here is their feature. 

To follow up, we had a super lazy and romantic Valentine’s Day and Family Day together, catching up on sleep and hanging out with Monkey.

On your birthday, please feel free to take chances, it’s really one of the few days when people just want you to have a good time. Other than dying my tips of my hair cotton candy pink, I’ve been dying to rock the pajama pant look. Not like college exams styles, but as per the Miu Miu Resort ’11 or Phillip Lim Resort ’11, a much more tailored look, covered in a great print. Right now you can find these daring pants in retailers everywhere, but a determining factor for me was print, and fit.
