My Fashion Epiphany

So, you probably are wondering where and what I’ve been doing for the past year. Even if you aren’t wondering…that’s okay too. I’m still going to tell you.

As I told you in this post, my husband and I moved halfway around the world to South Asia. While we’ve been here, we’ve been working…mostly…but we have been able to do a little traveling.

In March, we went to Singapore. We walked a lot…..and ate a lot. This is pretty much what we do on all our vacations…..lol…

That’s the famous Marina Bay Sands hotel in the background.

One of the many city blocks in Singapore. I believe this is Orchard Road. In Singapore, most of the walkway for pedestrians are underground, which I found to be pretty cool.

In August, we went to Phuket, Thailand. The prettiest beaches I’ve ever seen in my entire life!!!

The private beach at our hotel.

Me in the hotel lobby waiting to leave for dinner! Maxi dresses are the best when on vacation to a beach destination. So easy to pull on and go!

Phi Phi Island……

Early in October, we went to New Delhi, India. We didn’t really see much of New Delhi, but we took a day trip to Agra, India to see this…

The Taj Mahal…the story behind this beautiful building is really quite romantic.

Then, later in October we went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to celebrate our third year anniversary. I can’t believe it! I guess the saying is true…time flies when you are having fun!!

The Petronas Towers…

Oh and one big thing I did in May….

I graduated!! I received my bachelors degree in public administration!!! Its such a wonderful feeling to be done…for now at least. I’ve been thinking about getting my masters degree, at some point. Just not now.

And, there you have it. Hope you enjoyed this little update. I plan on posting a lot more these days now that school is out of the way. While I was still taking classes (online mind you, which I’m terrible at) I simply did not have the urge to do anything once home, hence the year break from the blog.

Thanks for all of those who didn’t forget about me! Most posts to come!

So, I know I’ve been away for more then a year. 1 year and 1 month to be exact. I’ve been VERY busy, but I’m back! I missed this blog so much!! More on what I’ve been doing in the past year and a half in another post. But, first I wanted to start out with an outfit post!

 These are my favorite pants I have now…they are so comfortable and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Vest- H & M

Shirt-PLAY Comme Des Garcons

Pants-Cotton On

Shoes-Zara

Arm Candy-Nixon Watch and Tiffany’s Bracelet

Sunglasses-Ray Ban

So, I grew up in a four seasons area and here, its just hot and hotter. I am really missing the fall….its my favorite season. And, the DC area is so pretty in the fall…all the colors. I LOVE it. But, oh well. I am enjoying this once in a life time experience. The fall will be there when we get back. So its basically 90 degrees every day here. But, now that its October, the humility went away so that’s great!! But, have no fear!! I still plan on wearing my boots….I have no shame. Go ahead and judge me….

Dress: Forever 21 (Thrifted)

Shoes: Nine west (Thrifted)

So, this is one of my favorite dresses I have in my closet now. Why you say? Pretty much everything…the color…the pattern…the length, the detailed bottom. And, the best part…on sale at gap for $10. Enjoy!

Dress-Gap

Black Pumps-Thirfted Michael Michael Kors

Why, hello there sun bumps…lol..

The hubs and I recently took a short trip to Bangkok, Thailand and I can pretty much sum up our whole trip in one word…AMAZING!! The city itself, the attractions….the food…oh the food…the shopping…everything was totally amazing!! Below are just a few pictures we took over the course of our trip…enjoy!!

 First stop..The Grand Palace…

I had to get at least a couple of outfit pictures..lol. Sidenote: it was about 100 degrees outside (well, not exactly 100, but still. On the palace grounds, women can’t wear anything above their knees and no tank tops. My t-shirt sleeves were cutting it close, but I was still able to go without my sweater.

T-shirt: H & M

Pants: Charlotte Russe

Sandals: Kenneth Cole

Sunglasses: Ray Ban (gift from hubs)

That cute little camera you see me holding is our new toy…the Leica X1. Takes awesome pictures and perfect for vacation trips if you don’t always feel like lugging around your Canon 5D plus all the lens that go with it.

Oh the traffic…lol…

And, of course I had to leave you with a picture of THE malls of all malls. SIAM CENTER! This mall had it all and then some…EVERY store you can possibly think of (Chanel, Hermes, Gap, Zara, Gucci, Balenciaga) and then throw in a Aston Martin and a BMW dealership along with a movie theatre, a bowling alley, and an Aquarium…yes, an aquarium. Oh, and I almost forgot about the AWESOME food court. And, its not your average food court. All top of the line food eateries and then when you are done there, you can stop at the grocery store and pick up dinner for the next day…totally insane but so awesome…but NOTHING on my thrift stores back home….lol.

And, I’ll leave you with these gorgeous views from our first night where we had dinner at The Dome at State tower. You might recognize it from Hangover 2. Dinner was good…overpriced, but you are really paying for the view. And, for that…it was worth it.
