Aritzia attitude

$125 logo'd TNA Northwest Sweater 100% lambswool cardigan. Marl eclipse of maroon and navy yarn that go with my lavender and blue ombre hair. XS fits so perfect. But so itchy.

Not like the real thing

Target on sale for $25. Fake Uggs with cool horntoothed buttons.

The anti-ugly Christmas sweater

I'm not a hipster; I have a job.

Having a job has its perks. Mine can include a little bit of travel. Whenever I get booked at a Westin, I get excited. Nevermind that once I shamelessly name-dropped my husband to get a room upgrade to a junior suite at a Hilton. What's with me and Westin? I like the Westin smell; I mean I really like it. It's permeated all over, not just in their hotel amenities. When I walk into a Westin room, the first thing I do is breathe in the scent, and then go huff the linens. Their signature scent White Tea:

It's an incredibly soothing calm fragrance. Excuse me while I go hyperventilate into a leaf-shaped bar of soap.

A sucker for plush towels

Was at the Bay and on a lark bought a Hotel Collection microcotton bath towel

in a distinguished Aegean sea green tone for $18.99 on sale. Turns out these luxurious towels are on Oprah's favorite things of 2012. 

However, this still reigns as my absolute fav: 

Restoration Hardware's Turkish bath towel in Thyme right now on sale for $22.

The two are similar in price but very different in feel depending on personal preference. Both luxurious options worth pursuing.

Rejuvenating

Jouviance gave me a few items from their line of summery coral colored makeup. This French Canadian company gives a great overall first impression. Don't you just love products that lives in good containers? The metal lipstick case closes with a magnetic click. The product itself is a peachy neutral:

Frankly, not enough color pay-off for my taste. I do see it being universally easily wearable due to its balm-y texture. 

Style

Another win!

Black and white large lace print chiffon cuffed tunic $10.86 by Sammy Dress.

Coming up for air

A bar of Margarita Lime goat milk soap won from Sowelu Studio looks so cool and refreshing in this summer heat!

Tokyo time

What are you doing still awake?

I'm on the other side of the world wondering how to take it all in.
Been staying at Hotel Okuras. Magnificent history, world-class clientele, impeccable hospitality.

TV Tee

Uniqlo's teamed up to bring us a nostalgic line of Popeye the Sailorman character shirts.

But what drew me to this was that it is the exact color of my hair! 

So this is me:

Forget the the Pantone color forecast for this season; I'm glad Radiant Orchid never caught on. I for one am still loving last year's Emerald. I never thought green hair would be so vibrant against my skin tone! It makes me feel like a mermaid. Or as per my significant other, I should be Sailor Mercury for Halloween. 

My hair changes a lot, as fast as I can grow it actually. For the past 2 years I've been hair modelling as a hobby. I can say I've had fantastic success experimenting with always unique looks. I'd highly encourage you to trust your stylist! Hair can completely change the way you look. Hair always comes back; it's the one thing you can play with without consequences! 

Another perk to hair modelling besides the free make-over is the model gift! Here is a hair treatment I've received:

Goldwell Dual Senses Rich Repair 60sec Treatment 

Look this stuff up on Google for reviews. My hair generally is great for showing off color jobs because its so very very black, but to get the colour in, I have to bleach it to blond. Bleaching hurts your hair, but thanks to this, you'd never know it. Hello soft smooth glossy hair!
