I had a book signing at a Barnes & Noble store on April 21 in celebration of Earth Day on the next day, given the environmental theme of my new book, Seasonal Living with Splendid Poetry. It turned out that all the copies available at the bookstore that day were sold out. My husband attributed the success partially to my image. 

Capris are back. They can be cutely incorporated into a casual ensemble for a spring weekend, if you know how to style them.

Last year's fringe tops are still on trend this year. So, why not pair a fringe top with this spring's satin midi skirt?

While the Oscars weekend is coming up, you may be wondering who will be the best dressed on the red carpet. Whether you are going to an Oscars viewing party or not, in case you plan to attend a formal event in the near future, an evening gown that features rosettes can be worth considering.

Feb 24, 2024 is a special day not only because of the numbers. It coincides with the snow moon in American culture and this year's Lantern Festival in Chinese culture.

This year's Valentine's Day is going to be a weekday. What should you wear then? What can be office appropriate enough for that workday and attractive enough for Valentine's dinner?

A cropped cardigan can certainly help. Simply layer one over the strapless or low-cut dress you are going to wear. 

When the weather is terribly cold even in California, we all need to dress warm, but we don't want to look heavier. That's why I'll never put on a puffer coat. A faux-fur-trim coat, on the other hand, can bring just as much warmth but won't add any bulk.

My faux-fur-trim coat even has a nipped-in waist, which is quite flattering. Isn't it fantastic to look slim in a coat?

Pantone has named peach fuzz as the company's choice of color for 2024. Peach fuzz is quite a flattering color that can make your skin look peachy, especially if you are fair-skinned like me. Case in point: I'm not wearing any make-up except tinted lip balm, not even BB cream or CC cream, in the photo displayed here. 

Red is always a popular color when it comes to holiday dresses.  It's particularly a chic choice this holiday season. So, why not dress in red for your upcoming holiday parties?

Thanksgiving is around the corner. In case you need to dress up a little for a Thanksgiving dinner party, a latte midi dress would be a chic choice. Shades of brown are trending right now, and they can go together nicely for colorblocking, which is always figure-flattering.
