OOTD - White after Memorial Day

I looked up wearing white before Memorial Day and found this article. I guess it was considered bad manners and poor class to wear white before Memorial Day before. How interesting that times change! Now it's all about winter and summer white.

I'm wearing a James Perse dress (link) and Sam & Libby for Target gladiator sandals. Bracelet is from Topshop (link).

    I've heard of that rule about white, but part of me wonders how seriously it was ever taken by the general population. :P I thought fashion was all about breaking the rules!

    I love James Perse. You sandals kind of remind me of these: flat gladiator sandals that I have. I just might have to steal this look ;)

Birthday club

Happy birthday to me! Before heading to dinner tonight, I celebrated by getting a free ice cream cone at Baskin Robbins since I'm part of their birthday club . The winter white chocolate was delish. You can't beat white chocolate, chocolate covered cherries, and cherry syrup. It's like a lighter version of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Yum!

Fire Safety Tips

It’s been about a month since my family and I survived a house fire. It's been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I feel optimistic and very thankful to survive and recover from my injuries. We have been blessed by family, friends, colleagues, and the community for the generosity and support we have received. Our firefighters told me most fires occur in the kitchen or bedroom, either started by electrical or candle. I wanted to share some tips  to prevent house fires: Don't light candles Be trained w fire extinguishers Have 2 exits out of house  Have an emergency fire escape plan  Call 911 ASAP Test fire alarms  Have fire extinguishers in kitchen and bedroom  Resources : https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/fire.html https://www.ocfa.org/SafetyPrograms/FireSafety.aspx https://www.lafd.org/safety/fire-safety

Racist Episodes

Upon reflecting on racism in my life, a few key episodes stick out in my mind. Denmark - My first encounter with racists was in high school when I stayed with a home stay family. They made me feel unwelcome for being an Asian American and kept saying they wish they got an American student, but in my mind I was an American study. They kept inquiring where was I from & I said I’m from California. I complained to the group chaperone and was quickly switched to a more welcoming home stay family and able to have a better experience. Denver - I was on a date with my boyfriend/now husband waiting for our table at a restaurant. I noticed subtle racist Behavior when a white couple who came in after us was seated first. I brought it up to my boyfriend and he says don’t worry about it and we’ll get seated first. This restaurant is first come, first serve. In my mind, it made me sad that this was dismissed as normal behavior. Irvine - Police officers thoug
