Chilly Fall Days
My beloved MacBook nearly met its match when I accidentally spilled a full glass of water on it. Thankfully, it survived--mostly due to my quick googling skills--and I'll be back to posting regularly. :)
We hope all of you affected by the tornados in the Midwest are safe and well.

Thailand: Night Bazaar & Thai BBQ
 |
| G - blog posin' |
Later Bangkok! Our next stop is Northern Thailand to a city called Chiang Mai. We spent our first evening checking out local crafts and beautiful fabrics at the night bazaar. This market is open late with great eats, all types of meats on kebobs and various types of fresh fruit.
G and I took a break to grab some Korean/Thai BBQ close the bazaar...YUMMY!

Thailand: Tigers and the Floating Markets
Tigers in Thailand! Just about two hours outside of Bangkok, G & I were lucky enough to visit a Tiger Conservatory led by Monks. This epic visit was no easy feat (car sick Jane.. bleh!), but it was worth it! These animals were so cool and though it was a bit scary, they were beautiful!
We also visited the famous floating markets (the "Venice of Thailand") where there were a ton of textiles, fruits, vegetables and restaurants. The market was totally vibrant, loud and buzzing with tourist.
Did I happen to mention Thailand was hot, hot, hot!? Weather was high 80s, lower 90s. Good thing I found a coconut stand. So, we spent the day looking at handmade goods, and finding some solid deals. I'm totally diggin' Thailand! :)

Thailand: The Grand Palace
T H A I L A N D
G & I made it! The journey took us 23 hours of travel through Chicago and Seoul to arrive in Bangkok! You may remember that G & I traveled to Cancun last year -- a short, short 5 hours. Alas, this year we hit up the other side of the world for some adventures. Check out the packing details here!
First Stop: The Grand Palace. This impressive and beautiful palace was the home of the Kings of Siam. We explored the grounds for hours, and visited the Emerald Buddha. We were greeted with heavy rain! However, it did not deter us and certainly did not take away for the majestic scenery.

How to Pack: Look by Look
I love visiting new places, but packing is probably one of the most arduous tasks, especially for an international trip. However, it's always worth the effort and planning for a great destination. For a few weeks "G" and I are going to Thailand on holiday.
Here is a quick preview of some looks that I'll be wearing over the trip.

Kai Turns ONE!
Our family spent last weekend celebrating her very first birthday, which included strawberry shortcake from an amazing bakery, as well as a few costume changes for the birthday girl -- she does, of course, take after her aunties in the style department.

Banana Republic Fran Pleated Skirt
This skirt is a really lovely, bold color! It definitely attracts a lot of compliments. It also works really well as a transition piece into the cooler months; the rich, yet bright shade allows you to wear this skirt year round.

Loft Floral Scroll Print Sweater Review
Quality: 55% Cotton, 40% Viscose, & 5% Wool
Style: The pattern here really pops -- even more so than the photos would indicate. Also I really like this weight for the fall weather; it's not a thick cable knit, but is substantial enough to keep you warm, yet light enough to layer without too much bulk.
Price: $59.50, but lately there have been a lot of 40% off sales which puts this bad boy around $36.
Bottom Line: I'm a fan, and I like the style. I do think it'll go on further sale, so I'll wait for a better deal, but if my size sells out, I won't be too bummed out.

Target Merona Women's Short Sleeve Tie-Wasit Shirt Dress
This definitely feels like one of the last time that I can get away with bare legs and sandals. I am excited about cozy sweaters, fuzzy slippers, and hot cocoa, but I'll definitely miss the ease of just sliding on a pair of sandals before I head out the door.

Dressed to the Nines: Black Tie
Snaps! It's black tux and fabulous dress night! "G" and I were all decked out for a charity ball. Oh man --- it's been a little while since I've been this dressed up, but what fun!
I found this fantastic dress from Macy's last year. I just love the sweetheart neckline and the draping in the front of the dress. I think this shape is extremely flattering to many shapes, and feels so comfortable. I'm obsessed with this number. I found this great silver clutch thrift shopping around town and paired it with a pair of silver flats.
"G" is looking handsome in his tailored tuxedo. G did a good amount of research on his piece trying to figure out if he should purchase or rent a tux. He ultimately purchased this well fitting, beautiful suit.
When's the last time you dressed up? Thanks for reading!

Black Tee & Suede Booties

| New booties! |
No matter what season or occasion, black is always in style. I love the timeless look of black on black. This outfit is inspired by my new boots from Steve Madden. I love these shoes!
Fashion Fundamental: Black Tee.
It's probably one of the most essential basics for any closet. Basics like this are perfect for keeping your look simple, clean and chic.
