ASOS Mesh and Chiffon Maxi Skirt

I know Maxi skirt has been in trend for a while. While the weather is cooling down gradually, I really want to give this look a try before it's too late. However no matter what kind of color or style of the maxi skirts I tried on, it just does not look good on me. I could never achieved that easy laid back look. It's the same thing like I could never wear my naturally curly hair freely. I have to put it up or get it chemically straightened every four months, though I'm envious every time I see a curly hair girl let her hair down and wear it naturally. I guess it's more like a common problem with most of the girls...just like what Garance Dore asked on her blog that why we are able to love on others what we can't stand on ourselves? 

Scenes From My Weekend

We went to Tobermory and Flowerpot island with friends the last weekend. This is the first time for all of us going there and obviously we are all stunned by the scenery. What amazed us the most is how different the landscape changed to while it's only 4 hours' drive to the city. Needless to say, I feel lucky to find out this place (would be happier if I could find out earlier) and to be able to live in a city that's so close to all  the amazing places nature offers. For sure I will go back there soon.

Israeli Couscous with Asparagus, Peas and Sugar Snaps

I was just complaining to Max that tomorrow is Friday. Yes, you heard me right. I complained about Friday's coming too soon! Of course I look forward to the weekends (especially this weekend, since we are heading off to Flowerpot Island). The problem is I have all the work stuff piling up on my desk that need to be done as soon as possible and it's making me feel like if I could, I would love to stretch this week a little bit longer making tomorrow a Wednesday or even better a Tuesday. Oops... did I just make myself sound like a workaholic? Anyways, back to the real topic...which is this delicious lemony Israeli couscous dish.

The chill in the air today helps me realize that Fall is coming a little bit faster than I expected this time.("thanks" to the pretty violent storm swept across the city yesterday). Fall has always been one of my favorite season that allows more creativity for dressing. Summer dresses are fun and easy to wear but I bet I'm not the only one that would get tired from one-piece way of dressing once in a while. Here's list of my favorite pieces and before I rush out to welcome some of these lovely additions to my already over jammed closet that I have to make sure the first thing on my list is to finally return to my hot yoga routine get my body back to the shape before one too many beers and BBQs that I had during the summer.
