Sartorial Semantics of the Backpack My high school years were spent in Canada where the bag you carried informed the other kids what kind of crowd you belonged to: -The safe choice for all-time cooln...
I never thought I’d ever see my face in the newspaper let alone 30 mini me’s photoshopped onto one page. I thank the poor graphic designer who probably now knows every contour and pore of...

Beyond Dim Sum Emily and I were saying there’s an obvious niche market in Hong Kong to cater cafes and restaurants to the small artsy/hipster crowd in the city. I say this because I bumped into...
Sadly Hong Kong doesn’t have MTV Cribs so here is the Sam is Home… in someone else’s home. I don’t know about you but I’m the type who likes to stare into people’s...
Aloha! So The 15/30 Project is officially over. I’m partially relieved due to the fact that some of my silk shirts really need to be dry cleaned and yesterday I went to a rooftop BBQ and...
A 15/30 Project post- can you believe it’s been almost a month since we launched this experiment? Sorry for the lag in posts- I was only able to get someone to shoot the rest of my looks...
Listening to: One Direction, What Makes you Beautiful Remember the college days where we’d put sticky notes around our desk to pep talk ourselves into working? Well this is one of those days wh...
Here’s one successful experiment that you saw in its blue form at my La Marinière Party… except when I added blue food coloring to the batter, my cake turned green. Life isn’t as si...

Apologies for the changing light- photos were taken in the afternoon. This is what I wore from my capsule wardrobe last week. A big thank you to my ‘twin sister’ for the photos! Fo...
A Sam is Home Party The Breton stripe is a part of my capsule wardrobe for The 15/30 Project so it became the inspiration for a party. The dress code is set and all the food and decorations all direc...
Lay Bricks, Serosugil (off of Garosug-il) Must try their brownie next time. The good thing about having stylish friends is that you don’t have to go chasing a stranger down a whole block to ask...
Seoul for The Style Voyager (led by Sam is Home?) This being my sixth time to Seoul and my first time having to lead someone around; I was kinda proud of myself for my navigation skills that consiste...
Seoul The great thing about traveling with a fellow blogger is that you can swap clothes. In this instance Sybil borrowed the parka I borrowed from Tania and I borrowed Sybil’s striped sweater ...
So I’m postponing the Tumblr entry because of The 15/30 Project that we’ll be running from March 15 to April 15. Tania came up with the cool idea of putting this project on Pinterest wher...
When I first saw this on Lizzie Garrett of Tomboy Style, I thought it was an ingenious way of expressing the subtleties of a certain style tribe*. While we throw around words such as ‘androgyny...
I love when girls wear ‘unflattering clothes’-drop crotches, over sized military jackets, mens oxfords, all that gear. I feel like I enjoy this style so much because from my perspective, it takes mor...

Expanding on yesterday’s post (Compassion for Fashion), I guess the one thing that disappoints me is that the women who are good at what they do in fashion forgo their talents when they realize...
Is passion for fashion enough? Also published on Chictopia I am often baffled by people whose weakness or what they lack in life becomes their strength. They of all people become the ex...
