Why I’m An Easy Rider In A Navy Leather Jacket

by Melinda
I remember the first time I saw the Movie “Easy Rider”. Inspired by its openness of travel, exploration and a free mind, the movie was also damn right cool. When I wear my navy leather jacket, I feel damn cool. It doesn’t’ have to been navy, but there’s a cool edge that comes with wearing […]

While taking a break from larger prints and bolder patterns, I’m going through a monochromatic phase. I’m reeling in and remembering the fashion basics – simple clean lines and elegant staples. I’m using this look as an example of how accessories can punch up an outfit. I never shy away from heels, but am drawn to […]

Growing up in Hong Kong, we would once or twice a year go to the bird market. A place where you could get any exotic bird, but mainly you went for the bird cage, and the sweet bird songs. I would stare at the antique Chinese bird cages, and watch the old locals tend to their […]

The skies are usually gray, but the city is full of so much color. A sunny day in Beijing, I love blending in while traveling. Where possible, I like to make friends with the locals, as they know more than any guide-book will tell you. Going under the radar and not standing out like a sore […]

Seasons they are a changing no matter what country you are in. Welcome to Beijing! I’m traveling and winter is here, but that spring feeling is just around the bend. In welcoming the changing seasons, I embrace the old with the new. From the blouse to the jeans, they represent the spring and the future. The […]

When I start daydreaming I think about the iconic band “The Mammas & Papa’s” seeing as I live in California. They encompass all seasons, but especially right now. Their music is that old-school-california-folk of the 70’s. They were not saint’s, oh no, they had their fair share of hollywood-music-groupie-drama. But they knew how to sing. All […]

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. How many times have you heard that? I have never been a traditional belt wearer, and if I do it’s always with a twist. The great element of wearing scarfs as belts is that the texture is softer, creating a causal look to any outfit. I use vintage silk scarfs to add […]

Ladies, we need our girls night’s right? Getting together with my babes is definitely one of the highlights of my week. And anyone who knows me, knows when it comes to a fun and easy girls night I have my outfit, my wardrobe, my go-to, my uniform. It’s the same uniform all the time cause […]

Growing up nothing ever fit. I’m a petite gal with curves, and it was a time when skinny jeans were not in fashion. Heck they were not even being made. Granted I was a teenager in school, but still….like everyone else I wore straight cut boot jeans cause that’s what was available. That was it. My […]
