In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.
Changing up the traditional wedding kimono to be a strapless dress instead is very pretty, but I prefer the traditional one. I own a couple of vintage kimonos (I collected a few), and I have one that I would love to test this out on…. as a fancy dress option 😉 H/T to The Asian Pear.
- How fun and whimsical are these NY Taxicab shoes? I … sort of want them. HAHA. But they’re so ugly..
- I love this entire outfit except for the shoes. They look so weird.
- This whimsical “You had me at bonjour” shirt is really cute. Might try and DIY this.
- UNICORN. MACARONS. Need I say more?
- When men are asked how they manage that work-life balance. No surprise here that they cited: “loving their jobs”, and “having priorities”.
- I teared up watching this video. I do this with Baby Bun all the time actually, so we aren’t so far off from being animals… I always take care of him first.
- How cute is this birthstone necklace that is not your typical ‘birthstone’? This rather chunky one is up my alley too.
- When it comes down to money, profits speak, or “Why manufacturing will never move back to the U.S.”
- I am a fan of Kate Spade designs because they’re so whimsical and is on my list on sale.
- They tore her car apart because they thought she was cheating when she beat them on the track. She still whupped them.
- I want want want this hanging shell pendant lamp that looks like a flowerball and this lotus one too. If only my closet was big enough to install them.
- These were the most popular items from Zara in 2016. Really? Hmm.
- I own this pressed flower necklace and am hellbent on collecting more… I wore it here on Instagram. This one also looks like the Cleopatra one I bought in Old Montreal too.

The BBC interview is very on-point. In my office, the men who “had to” come in late or “had to” leave early for family were practically revered by the bosses (all men) while the women, who rarely asked for anything, got punished severely when they did. At the time, I was single and childless and protested about the double standard (as a disinterested childless person), but to no avail. It still make me mad, years later. And nothing has changed in the meantime.
