This burning heat we've been having means that my mojo for doing anything creative has gone on the wayside. My outfits have also been more laid back than usual (ahem...if that was even possible)... H&M tank top, Gap shorts, Vans "Darth Vader" slip ons The good thing is that outdoor activities are on full-blast!  How do you deal with extreme heat? Are you a fan?

Life is a highway.

Food was fantastic, and the company was great:) Went to the Galleria  for the first time for authentic Korean stuff...hehe...was able to finally use the little Korean I've learned so far.

Guys, it's been five years since I first started blogging! Wut?!?! Sigh...I can still remember debating whether I should even start blogging, and was so unsure about my first post. Here we are..a few years later. I want to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to all of you, old and new readers alike, for taking the time out of your day to read and comment on my posts.

Lu Xun said, "Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made." - Manager Oh Sang Shik (played by Lee Sung Min in MISAENG)   I just recently finished watching the Korean TV series MISAENG (미생 ) which translates into 'Incomplete Life".

No romance?!?!" She did say it's one of the best shows she had seen so I thought I'd give it a go. Well, all I can say is, thank you, my friend.:) Guys, if you have never seen a

This is the third time I've sewn this dress pattern. First in off-white, then in black. I know this is what most people would call a "sack" but guys, it's really such a versatile and comfortable dress to wear. Made with linen fabric, it's just perfect for the summer. Dress I sewed using the Bantam vest pattern from the Merchant and Mills Workbook, worn with Birkenstocks from Saks Off 5th Are you a fan of loose dresses like this? Anyhoo, have a fab week ahead, everyone:)

I can smile at the old days....
