White Out
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ...
I'm always afraid of wearing white due to how clumsy I can be ... hehe
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ... trying to be more lady like keeping my dress clean. I love the refreshing and clean feeling that wearing all white brings. It's one time when we can all feel a little more elegance about ourselves ....
While up on the Northern California coast we passed by this wonderfully aged barn. The rust and weathering gives things so much texture against the white misty fog. Driving by I was picturing myself wearing all white and running around. Here's a few photos from the scene I was picturing in my mind .... ;)
Hope you enjoy the inspiration ...

Misty

Mist creates such a mystery for me ... things seem to always become more peaceful and quiet ... slowing time. It's often chilling, but provides such beauty and comfort to the eyes making things so much more magical and inspiring for photographs. Moments and views change with the fog lines ... blocking the distance, allowing you to only imagine what it could be. Giving you a moment to paint pictures in your mind ... ;)
On our recent trip we wanted to be more spontaneous ... allowing us to take our time and adapt along the way. Taking turns down smaller local highways and country roads that we always miss today using the larger interstates.
Last weekend we ventured up Hwy 1 with no reservations of where we were going to stay for the night. Heading north we ended up at a wonderful spot camping by the fire in Manchester State Park ... eventually making it all the way to Fort Bragg with many stops along the way. Each time I adventure along the coast it makes me love it so much more ....
Hope you enjoy these inspirational photos ... ;)

Into the Woods

Lately I've been feeling a draw back to nature ... a little urge or itch to leave the city and adventure into the woods. To see more trees and greenery ... take in some of the refreshing coastal air and slow the pace of the weekend. It always makes me feel refreshed and re-energized each time I connect with nature.
Another uniform item Rob typically loves to wear is prints. Half of our closet is now filled with prints in all forms ... t-shirts, shorts, button-ups, pants ... most of them have a vacation theme. This one in particular is one of my favorites ... who doesn't love a Hula Girl?... :)
It brings back memories of the one time we got to visit Hawaii together ... hiking around the island in the mist and rain. I hope to go back there one day. Until then I guess I'll have to explore more of this wonderful coast.
Hope you enjoy...
Rob also made a mix theme retro vacation. Hopefully it helps you take a little retro vacation for awhile and keep you smiling :)

Growing up in Malaysia, most of the things we bought or purchased were necessities. Only a few times a year on special occasions (Chinese New Year, Birthdays, etc.) we bought gifts and the things we really wanted. This allowed us to think about things and figure out if it was truly what we wanted. I've been trying to take this same approach with things I purchase today. Thinking about the quality of the item ... picking something that will last a little longer.
I always remember my mom displaying her favorite things .... spending time cleaning and appreciating them. Only using them occasionally and really taking care of them to extend their shelf life. I like the idea of how all things have a life to them. Too often today we get caught up in sales and deals ... focusing heavily on price and not thinking about the overall quality in the item. I often find these purchases crumbling after a few weeks or looking very vintage after a couple of trips through the washer/dryer ... ;)
I've been taking the quality over quantity approach recently ... starting to only look for items that I genuinely need or want ... asking myself those few extra times if this is something I "really" want. It's allowed me to cut down my purchases and actually have more with less. I take care of things much better and I'm able to hold on to things longer.
I've been wanting to learn more about how to style the things I share and practice my product shots. It's a pretty interesting process compared to taking pictures of nature or food porn. With product shots you are able to curate everything about the photo. Showing it the way you want it to be seen and felt ... telling the story you want to tell. I've found while cleaning the house is the best time to take these photos ... hehe

Whenever we get to take walks along the coastline, it makes me think of being at at the edge of the universe. Standing on the cliffs and looking out into an endless body of water. It makes me think about all the possibilities and wonders that have been created in this world ... both naturally and manmade. It helps my imagination grow and reminds me that anything is possible.
I wanted to introduce our little buddy Koda ... he is one of our friend's cute little dogs staying for a short visit. Each time I look at him, I imagine him speaking with a strong british accent and sounding like a wise old grandfather with his white little beard. He loves to take his time while we walk ... investigating everything along the way ... checking each little sound he hears and hidden corner we pass. I really think he has human thoughts just like you and me ... ;)
It's always a guessing game trying to predict bay area weather. There are so many micro climates allowing you to pick and choose what fits your mood. Living in SF for the passed several years I've learned to go out prepared. One of our favorite getaways for a short walk is Rodeo Beach and Fort Cronkhite. It's too often that you become both warm and cold within a same minute, but it always such a treat with the wonderful views that you get to enjoy.
Here are some photos taken with two lenses, using my Nikon D300s, lenses 18-200mm and 85mm ...
Hope you enjoy and all have a wonderful week!

When I was little, I use to play this game with my mom growing up. We would just look around the room, trying to find all kinds of different shapes and patterns. Looking into every corner or little nook and cranny ... finding cracks along the wall and tracing where they went. Using our imagination to create as many shapes and sizes within the room as we could. I do wish I had a camera back then ... I wonder how many more photos I would have taken ... hehe
I still play this game alone in my head when I get the opportunity to visit new and interesting places. I find myself especially doing this in any place desert or mountain. They are both places where you can create infinite shapes and loops ... tying them together and extending them for as far as the eye can see. Since we were in the mood of playing dress up, I started to put on some funky prints to merge my outfit into the inspirational shapes around me. Here's a few pictures from our little stop off in the desert. Hope you enjoy ...

A Quiet Moment
I love when we have national holidays ... the idea of how everyone gets to have a play day and do anything they want ... what a treat!
I love when we have national holidays ... the idea of how everyone gets to have a play day and do anything they want ... what a treat!
When I was younger working on holidays, it was always so nice because I would make double pay or get extra days off from work ... ;)
These days I prefer to go away for my holidays ... looking for places trying to miss the crowds and commotion. Without the crowds I can relax a little more easily ... taking time exploring and being in the present ... being able to focus on the things you miss on those busy days.
Many of my favorite and relaxing moments on our 4th of July holiday was just driving around Joshua Tree National Park. We saw only a few other cars throughout the day, making it feel like our own little play ground ... ;)
We also made a stop by Pappy & Harriet's Pioneer Town and it was like an old ghost town ... kind of eerie, but in that fun kind of way ...
Here are some of the photos taken with two different lenses, using my Nikon D300s, lenses 18-200mm and 85mm... Hope you enjoy the pics ...

Whenever I see big rocks and sand, all I tend to think about is the Flintstones ... the modern day twist on stone age living. How they have and keep their home ... and the outfits they wear. Such a simple and rustic way they live their life with imaginative modern conveniences. I always enjoy those vintage hand drawn cartoons from the past. They are so less realistic than todays ... having to be more creative and imaginative.
Being there also makes me think I'm on a Safari ... inspiring me to wear things that I can camouflage, or in this heat ... melt into the nature. If I stand still enough maybe the animals won't notice me? ... haha
It almost makes me feel that we are having a little costume party with nature for a hot second.
( ^-^ ) ...
While feeling like I'm melting from the steamy sun ... and day dreaming of my ice tea (extra ice) at the homestead cabin ... I really did enjoy trying to melt my outfit into the rocks and become a part of the desert scenery that is always so beautiful to me.
Hope you enjoy ... can't wait to share more photos of our other stops too ...

It was a hot hot hot desert day full of sun. We were relaxing taken our time in the morning at the homestead cabin and then decided to go out for a little adventure on the 4th. Driving around stopping at little shops we picked out this little rubber duck. The heat made us dream of jumping into a cooling pool or lake. Since we can't do that in Joshua Tree Park, why not imagine right?
Rob loves wearing standard uniforms ... so I recently started trying to find new pieces for him to start including in his collection ... or perhaps something we can share ... hehe

One thing that I always feel when I am able to getaway or take a short trip, is that the days are so much richer and fuller. Time seems to slow and the clock doesn't move so much each time I look over. This is one of my favorite things about being away ... it makes me feel that I can take my time with things ... never having to be in a rush like most days in our normal lives.
We've been thinking a lot recently about living life in a more basic and uncomplicated way ... enjoying the simple pleasures life can bring. They always seem to be the things that bring us the most joy at the right times ... a warm shower when we are cold ... ice in your drink when it's too hot outside ...when you get to lay in your bed at the end of a long day. These are all such simple things, but bring us so much happiness when we actually focus on them.
For the July 4th weekend we found an old homestead cabin in Joshua Tree on Airbnb. We wanted to learn and see how some of the people were living life more simply down south in the desert. It was so nice and inspiring to see this change from the city. Rob and I would spend so much time just talking about what we would do and how we would do it if we tried life here in that way from time to time. Here are a few photos I captured over the days we spent in our little different world. Can't wait to share more photos from our road trip ... ;)

Last week on our morning walk I was excited to wear this faux leather jacket. It's been in my closet for a quite a while and I haven't felt brave enough to wear it out.
I don't normally wear leather jackets ... It's a rarity that I could count on one hand ... :0
They're starting to grow on me though ... I've typically shied away because of feeling comfortable ... and often they are not. I don't want the look of a wannabe cool biker chick or an asian black leather burrito wrap. I was glad I had this jacket though, it got so windy and cold while at ocean beach as it often does ... they're so warm ... ;)

When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a sporty kind of person. I joined a handful of teams and tried to keep as active as I could. I was a swimmer ... a gymnast ... I played volleyball ... and was on a badminton team or two ... ( ^ - ^ )
Trying all kinds of sports, seeing what sticks, and what I most connected with. After a while, I realized I enjoy sleeping and walking mostly ... wait I lied, I secretly love street dancing too. Can dreaming be a sport? I would like to play for that team too ... ( ^ o ^ )
Rob and I were thinking of ways to be a little more "sporty" and active, so we decided to start doing some morning walks. Trying to explore little spots of the city that we don't often get to see.
This week we took a trip out to Ocean beach and stopped by Andytown Coffee Roasters for a cup of coffee and some delicious muffins. A nice little neighborhood coffee shop where you are sure to receive a smile a quick conversation to get your day going.
We wiggled our way down to the beach and spent some time just taking in the breeze and ocean air before heading home. It's crazy to me how powerful beach environments can be. The beach always instantly relaxes me and lets me think a little less about things ... the air has a refreshing quality which is always what I remember feeling ... looking back and scanning through all my memories of being at the beach.
One of our highlights along the walk was meeting Pete ... an older italian man on his daily exercise routine. Pete has lived in the Outer Sunset for 50 years. He was telling us these wonderful stories about the neighborhood and how different things were back then. These days he just enjoys his walks along the beach and tries to keep life simple ... some advice I'm going to focus on ... ;)
We also stumbled upon this little Woodshop ... a beautiful space that we were admiring through the window. We were lucky enough to strike up a conversation and meet Danny as he was leaving for the airport. He gave us a quick tour of the workshop before he lift ... what a cool space and showroom. If you're interested in custom surfboard, cool chairs, furniture, or art pieces don't forget to make an appointment to check them out.
Thanks for dropping by ...

We were away over the passed weekend for the anniversary of when we first met. Off to the Lake with a wonderful creative bunch of peeps full of smiles and wonderful spirits. It's always an inspiring event with many moments that I never want to end ... ;) It's so nice to be in a place where you can really unplug from the internet ... turn off the cell phone and all the other distractions that typically consume us in everyday life. Time seems to slow a bit and days are a little more full then normal. It really makes you focus on being in the moment ... appreciating the simple pleasures that are often overlooked and right around us.
Playing a little catch up from being away and getting back on track to the regular schedule, we spent our time recently doing some clean up around the house ... focusing on the simple pleasure of a clean home ... ;)
We use to have our dining table in this corner, but recently moved it closer to the window. It's so interesting how that simple move changes the feel of the entire room ... It has since become my new fav corner of the house.
Do you have a favorite corner in your house? I think I have a few ...
Hope you Enjoy!
I have been looking for a fun storage spot for our pillows and blanket and fell in love with this Ferm Living Wire Basket. They come in a few color options and are very strong and versatile. I was thinking to cut a wooden cover for the top turning it into a table too.

I recently noticed that in my closet I have a bunch of animal prints ... leopard, cheetah, zebra.
It only makes me wonder if I may have been an animal in a past life ...
Animal fabrics and prints are always so much fun. I get so happy to see the excitement of peoples faces when they get to dress up in their favorite fabric or fur. A print I really love and admire is snake skin. It has so much detail and can be worn to make you look either tough or elegant.
So today ... I am pretending to be a snake :)
What kind of animal do you wanna be?

Hearst Castle
Something I always love to do is dream. I look forward to it every night...
Something I always love to do is dream. I look forward to it every night and it gets me excited to crawl into bed. I love the idea of dreaming because you can use your imagination and make anything possible. Dreams allow me to practice and maintain using my imagination ... something we don't normally use as much the older we get. One of the dreams that Rob and I have is building a house or creating space that we can enjoy ... creating our own little world like the wonderful ones we get to visit.
I thought visiting old homes would be a good way to learn more and get ideas ... admire details and styles that aren't used in today's world ... and of course get inspired for things we can incorporate into our home when the time is right. Along our trip to San Diego we found this spot "Hearst Castle."
I hope you enjoy these photos ... I had a lot of fun day dreaming here ... :)
Built in 1919 it was a continuous work in progress and was never completed in Hearst's lifetime. It remains incomplete and sits atop a hill in San Simeon, CA. The ranch was originally 250,000 acres running 14 miles along the coastline ... rolling along as far as the eye can see. Talk about a big yard! When we toured the upper rooms of the main house, I found myself just staring out the windows ... beautiful views from each and every angle.
If you do plan to go there make sure you get the ticket ahead of time, they sell out fairly easily. The castle is a living museum so all tours are guided in small groups at prescheduled times. They last about 45 mins each. We took the grand rooms and upper suites tours throughout parts of the main house.
While exploring we also stopped by The Madonna Inn for dinner. I was fascinated how all the rooms are so unique ... the complete different stylings they all have. Perhaps next time we can stay here and I can get more pictures... :)
If you do plan to visit Hearst Castle and need somewhere to stay , this might be a fun spot for you ...
Till next time ...

I've only had a few posts featuring looks of myself, but I'm beginning to learn more about the outfits I really enjoy wearing and make me feel good. I've determined I'm a hat person ... because they are always on my mind. I tend dress up like ninja fairly often too. All while allowing my inner rapper to still show his face every once in a while ... lol
Earlier this year I decided to set a goal for myself of only wearing monochrome outfits. Allowing for some brown or skin tone colors, but focusing mainly on only black and white. Choosing from only these basic colors and tones, it's been interesting how I've slowly developed a stronger love of texture and pattern ... allowing me to focus more on all the mini aspects of the design.
I also enjoy the mix and match my outfits game. Laying them all out and seeing what works ... just making a small change to one piece of an outfit can make all the difference. Don't forget about the details ... they're the most fun part :)
What about you?
I hope you enjoy too ...

Road-trippin'

Do you like Road-trips? Rob and I have enjoyed them very much these days. We've been experimenting with what we really need to take with us, how to pack the car, and of course what snacks to throw in the cooler. We have set some new goals of trying to spend minimally and find places to explore right around us.
While driving on the open road there are so many beautiful moments that pass by ... I find myself always trying to capture them all ... click click click.
I am still learning what would be the best lens option I pack for a trip. On this trip I tried to only bring two lenses, my Nikon D300s 18-200mm and my 85mm.
One of the highlights as always was the drive on highway 1. The views of the mountains and beaches keep going and going for what seems like forever ... It takes a little longer on the coastal highway, but it always seems to be worth it.
A few places we stopped along the way:
Every time I see a vintage VW beetle I have flashbacks of the good memories driving my first car. Remembering the sounds of the car ... riding around my neighborhood with friends and playing all old mix-tapes. It also makes me think about spending time with my dad ... him teaching me and learning about my car, keeping it clean and taking care of it .... it was always enjoyable and something that I'll never forget. Thank you Papa!
Once we arrived Encinitas we stopped by Old Town San Diego too. If you have time, you should definetly check it out. Admission is free and you can spend as much time as you want exploring around. Fun for me to just walk around and see all these old houses ... trying to imagine the way life was back then and picture it in my mind.
These lovely chairs are so cool. I respect the detail and craftsmanship it took to make these wonderful pieces. So much use over the years and still in such wonderful condition. I also noticed I can't stop taking pictures of them ... so many pictures of chairs .. lol
Hope you enjoy ... Til the next time ...

While I've lived in San Francisco, the weather always seem to be a little more colder than usual. I always find myself not sure of what to pack or wear when I travel to warmer places. This past weekend, my husband and I went for a mini road trip down to San Diego for our lovely friends wedding.
Wow ... the weather is so much warmer than the bay area. I roasted my leg and arm for a bit while I was there ... oopss

Recently I've been trying to take more pictures of different subjects and styles that inspire me. A lot of time I end up just using my iPhone since I'm so lazy to carry around my bulky SLR and It's starting to make me feel like I'm out of practice ... oops
To get things back on track I've decided to start practicing more. Recently I've been shooting a lot of landscapes. It's interesting how different it is compared to all the fashion shoots ... I feel like I've forgotten how to shoot with with an actual camera ... ;)
Here's a short little trip we took during memorial weekend to the beautiful estate
Filoli in Woodside, CA.
It's really amazing that there are so many hidden treasures around us in the bay area. It's only about 30 mins from the city. If you have some time you should try to check it out, but check for a Groupon first. They usually have some good deals.
The old architectural detail is lovely. You can't help but imagine what life would have been like here 100 years ago when the house was newly built. Beautiful tall ceilings with an interesting combination of decor and art. The garden is spectacular and one of my favorite elements.
Here are a few photos I captured ... hope you enjoy them.

Wall Art
This week one of our highlights was spending time at home and trying to get things organized and in-place...
It's always interesting to watch how the weather changes in San Francisco. I really enjoy when San Francisco turns into such light tones ... calm fog dancing around the city when we have our little cup of coffee and eat our breakfast. It's also a good surprise when you don't notice that you have a long weekend ... woo-hoo ...
This week one of our highlights was spending time at home and trying to get things organized and in-place. Our main goal was to finally hang the wall art that's been sitting around the house. I hope you enjoy it ...

If you follow my instagram, you've probably seen a few of these pics :) This week we also spent some time practicing our gyoza and udon making. We are excited to perfect our skills and share more often to see peoples reactions and what they like. Udon is one of our favorite comfort foods ... very simple and light, creating a wonderful warm and cozy feeling when you experience it. I thought I would be good at making gyoza, but wow ... it's not as easy to fold them as they make them seem... getting the perfect ribbon shapes on the edge is really tough. I can't wait to practice more ... my favorite part is after the picture when we get to taste them ... ;)

Here is my new little buddy ... my hubby has been making a fun mask for our yearly get together at the lake ... I am excited to share once it's done, but for now he's just taking up some caffeine to get ready for the fun weekend ... hehe
There are so many gorgeous homes in the city ... each time I see one, I just have to stop for a sec to enjoy the beautiful details.
Bimbo's 365? So many years in this city and I've never been there. Wow! ... such a beautiful venue with wonderfully classic details. Why have I never been there? I think I just had to wait to celebrate with Brian Sugar for his 40th Birthday. Well worth the wait ... Thank you Brian for such lovely evening.
A few of my favorite things for this week. My new Micky iPhone case is at the top of my list. I feel like I got a new pet that I get to take with me everywhere. His big ears make it so I could never loose my phone too ... lol
