I’m In A Fashion Rut. How about you?

Tell me I'm not alone when I say I'm in a fashion rut and having difficulty getting out. Can anyone relate? I stare aimlessly at my closet, which hasn't been updated since before the pandemic. Yeah, that long! I haven't put any effort into updating my style, but after so long, I'm ready to get a new ...

I’ve never let the weather dampen my mood or my outlook especially on vacay. It’s called, rolling with it!

Some of my best trips have included rainy days that perhaps I would not have done what I did.

Looking forward to tomorrow 🌴☀️🙋🏻‍♀️

All limitations are self imposed!
It takes work to get out of your own way, to cut the BS and get around the problem that’s holding us back.
I face this on a daily basis. Do you? 
Let me know in the comments below how you get around self sabotage?

Life is a book.
Everyday you write your life’s page.
Then you do it again.
Rinse and repeat.
You will never get theses pages back.
So write each page to its fullest.
The end.

💥 If you have just started following my journey recently here is a little bit about who I am and what I do.

💥I'm a sassy gal born and raised in Hong Kong, now based in Los Angeles. I'm a fashion and travel content creator, voiceover artist and entrepreneur.

💥 I’ve been blessed by the Dalai Lama, trekked the Himalayas and even narrated a NY Times best selling book. 

💥 My biggest fears are regret, and wasting time - time, we don’t get back.  I use these to push me forward.

💥 My biggest loves are travel, connection, memories and great laughter!

💥 I absolutely LOVE Mondays! - Great start to the week!

💥 I usually clock in over 100,000 air miles a year and simply put, I love what I do! 

💥 These passions have opened a million doors and led me to meet many amazing people with a vast range of life experiences shaping me to who I am today.

💥 Remember, push hard, dream big, never fear, love all, have an open mind, take risks and believe in yourself! 😘

Here’s 5 Important life lessons to carry you through the week. Share with those that could use a reminder xx

1. Your life is now.
We keeping waiting for that amazing thing to happen in the future that will be the key to our happiness. But this is it. Your life is right now. Life continues to be a series of right nows. So learn to love your life right now, and you'll have an amazing life.

2. Fear is an illusion (mostly).
Most of the things we fear never happen. Or if they do happen, they are rarely as bad as we fear they will be. For most of us, fear is the worst thing that will happen to us. Reality isn't as painful.

3. Relationships rule.
At the end of the day, what matters most are the people in our lives. Put them first every single day. Before work. Before the computer. Before your hobbies. Treat them like they are your everything. Because they are.

4. Failure is good.
We try so hard to avoid failure, but failure is the real evidence that we've had the courage to try. If you avoid failure, you avoid taking action. Expect and accept that failure is part of the experience. Learn from it, grow from it, and move on.

5. Prioritize experiences.
The pleasure and positive memories afforded by great experiences far outweigh material things. If you're trying to decide between the new sofa or the family trip, take the trip every time. Save and plan for new adventures and meaningful experiences. Don't just dream about them,,make them happen.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. #marktwain

Never not blown away by this private cenote in #rivieramaya - the water was so clear and pure, and is meant to have healing properties. It was not over run by tourists, for adventure is for those that seek it!

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” #LewisCarroll

Probably one of my most favorite and prolific quotes, as its a sign of growth, and no one is the same as they were before.

I see it as a sign of strength, maturity, and overall awareness of ones self.

That and I really wanna go to a concert… Digging the #gypset vibe

Yesterday my friend took his life…

He battled many demons for so long and mental health is slowly being accepted at a quicker rate, but how do we as a collective try to help those that don’t want to be helped?

I knew my friend for 8 years, and he stuck with me through some tough times. I have also been there for him during dark times, but when he was low, misery enjoyed company.

Yesterday my friend died of a heroine overdose…

A drug so powerful to him he couldnt give it up. It couldn’t fix his demons, wouldn’t make them go away, and so at times he used it to get relief.

I believe he knew he wanted the monsters to go away, and I hope he is in a better place now. I am not showing a photo of him out of privacy, so an outfit shot it is.

Hug your friends, tell them they are important, and check in on the ones you never see or speak to. IG is fake and not a reality.

Be safe xxx

We all want the pretty things. The things that sparkle to catch our eye. The energy that comes from a zen like arrangement. The small 
Touches that feel complete. 

For all of these things I am humble and grateful. For what I have. For what I want, and for what is yet to come.

#valentines #reddress #zaradress #mondaymotivation
A lot of cheap seats in the arena are filled with people who never venture onto the floor. They just hurl mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs from a safe distance. The problem is, when we stop caring what people think and stop feeling hurt by cruelty, we lose our ability to connect. But when we’re defined by what people think, we lose the courage to be vulnerable. Therefore, we need to be selective about the feedback we let into our lives. For me, if you’re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback #brenebrown

Yep thats right, if you are not thriving in your work or crave a different way of life, its because you have to choose it. Choose what you want, work hard to attain it, and never give up. Living a creative laptop lifestyle to me is eternal freedom!

Its where your mind meets your heart to equal your goals!

When you step into RH Yountville Restaurant, you are immediately immersed into a magical wonderland. With chandeliers and crystal tear drops falling from the sky and trees, you are transcended into another world..

In the heartbeat of @YountvilleCA itself, I didn’t connect this dots that this restaurant was owned by Restoration Hardware itself. Stunning, intimate, and warm, I was sedated by the music, fountains, food and ambience.

A must eat restaurant when you’re in town. The food was more than expected: fresh, innovative, clean, local, and pure yumminess.

#RHYountville #TasteLifeHere #napavalley #winecountry #luxuryresort #yountville #hotelyountville #tastelifehere
As many of you know, I have stayed at boutique places around the world, but this little slice of Yountville love, was the perfect getaway thanks to @hotelyountville

Every attention to detail has been thought of as a vineyard estate inspired retreat. With every amenity including bikes, you can explore the town, while still having a peaceful little getaway.

From a stunning A-Frame barn like room, to the welcoming gifts, night time relaxation in the jacuzzi - back-lit by a fireplace, it’s always the little things that make you want to stay longer. And my massage on the last day was simply heaven.

Every journey starts from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. As we were driving down the hills of wine country i was reminded that i left a different person!

#napavalley #winecountry #luxuryresort #yountville #hotelyountville #tastelifehere
What a breathtaking getaway! My stay with @hotelyountville could not have come at a better time. Up north in California’s wine country, Yountville is a slice of heaven. Rural, rustic, intimate, peaceful, and so far my stay with @hotelyountville has been that.

An exclusive getaway to recharge, rethink, and let your mind at ease. With the best wines, food, vineyards, and amenities, I am able to embrace the peace before the New Year. My only wish is that I was staying a full week! Follow my stories for all the adventure!

In the end, only threes things matter: how much you loved. how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you #buddha

Ending the second year of a crazy merry go round that is covid. If I am to look back on this year, I saw a lot of ego in people, again learned that most people are full of BS, and that your true friends really are your ride or die.

Lot’s of changes coming in 2022 that I can’t announce just yet, but know that they will push me higher and make me happy!

Wearing my mums vintage top, and I love how timeless and classic this look is for holiday events! Keep safe xx

Cant believe its #xmas this week. 🌲 Pumping all the last minute business energy in the next few days, and next week headed to #yontville CA for a nice getaway. Dreaming, planning, gal setting for 2022 - I CANNOT believe it’s almost here! 💙

I am back in Los Angeles, and what a mess I returned to. After being gone 2 months, getting live sorted and ready for 2022 is a struggle.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away. #mayaangelou

I don’t we are not defined by things, but I haven’t bought anything for myself this last 2 years of the pandemic, so bring on the holiday shopping!

Without ambition one starts nothing…

I feel the hunger, I feel the urge, I feel the desire, and am ready to get going. December is my prep month where I start to focus on 2022.

I have changed, I think we all have due to covid. My goals are different, my wants are new, by beliefs are stronger, and thats a great thing!

And while I’m at it, I’ve never not loved a great camel coat!

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself! 🐶- #anon

This is Bruno. Not my dog. But he came to say hi! 🐶

WOW - If you have known or followed me for a while, you may know how much I have wanted a dog for so long. I’m coming on about five years now since I have wanted a furry BFF.

What most people don’t know is that when I was 2.5 years old our family dog bit me on the face. I was a toddler, scarred and very afraid of ANY animal growing up. It took me years to not be afraid of all pets, small, turtles, fish, birds, you name it. I was scared of them all.

It’s a trauma I don’t speak of, but feel I have come a long way. Growing up if a dog came my way I ran. Now I am in a better place, and don’t feel the fear. I am closer to finding the right time to have a bestie.

Got a dog, cat or pet you love? I’d love to hear your story xx

#doglover #dogsofIG #puppylove #furbaby #truelove
“And that’s what is so insidious about talk. Anyone can talk about himself or herself. Even a child knows how to gossip and chatter. Most people are decent at hype and sales. So what is scarce and rare? Silence. The ability to deliberately keep yourself out of the conversation and subsist without its validation. Silence is the respite of the confident and the strong.” #ryanholiday

I learnt the skill of being silent, and just listening a while back. It’s forever a work in progress.

#athleisurewear #nakedshoulder #losangeles #fallweather #stripedtop #guccigang #guccibag
Once one chapter closes another opens. I am in a new chapter In my life. My family, my health, mental state and well being: there is a re-birth. Heading to see my mum today. One week after her beautiful funeral to pay respect.

I could tell you all the things I have learnt through this grief, but the only one that really matters is that time is fleeting. I have said this for so long, you need to live each day to the fullest. At least I do.

Happy weekend friends xx
