There’s endless goodies to try when you’re in Taiwan. Too much goodies in fact in my opinion. Din Tai Fung is another place I have to go to when I’m in Taipei. I introduced it’s scrumptiousness to Dustin in our second day in Taiwan.
I was first introduced to this restaurant by my friends Cristina and John. They know their way around Taipei’s yummiest. Prior to them taking me, I’ve never tried it since my aunts who live in Taiwan are very anti-anything that’s mainstream. But if you do choose to go visit, there’s always a long wait during lunch and dinner hours. We happened to stop by around 2pm so the rush had already cleared out.

Though it may not seem like it from my instagrams, I do enjoy eating healthy and taking good care of my body. Recently, I discovered a wonderful cook book through my sister-in-law, Jess. She’s really into eating healthy and has been doing it far longer than I have.
This past weekend, while Dustin and I were skyping with her, she shared about this new cookbook she got called Superfood Cuisine by Julie Morris. As she described the quinoa pasta she made topped with a creamy sauce made out of cashews, I was intrigued and salivating. I began googling this book, searching for it on amazon and trying to find whether or not Julie Morris had a website.

I discovered ACNE through a magazine I purchased in Taiwan this winter. The people interviewed in the magazine kept referring to ACNE so I had to find out what it is!
Founded in Stockholm, ACNE is simple but stylish. Famous first for its jeans, it has now developed into a full fledge collection. Its unique shapes and colors featured in their design can spice up any outfit. The only downside of ACNE? Of course…again it’s the prices. Even on sale, a shirt costs $100+. Sigh* But it’s fun to look at and get ideas from…: )
Few pieces I liked:
this is their Mallory dress. I love the loose, feminine draping
Wham Merino knit, currently on sale. It looks so comfy and easy to throw on over a pair of jeans or leggings
Spin AW wedge ankle bootie. Simply beautiful
Afternoon ladies! Excited to share with you yet another great stylish website that offers free shipping and returns, shopbop.com.
I happened across this website while looking for a wedding dress last summer. I was about to buy this Alice + Olivia dress off of shopbop, trying to switch up the traditional wedding dress for a more casual, can-wear-it-again dress but in the end opted for an Vera Wang. So thankful that she came out with an affordable line at David’s Bridal!!!
Apart from the great benefit of free shipping and return, giving you a chance to try on the clothes before you commit to your purchase, this website also offers videos on certain items. Similar to ASOS.com, you can watch the item of clothing in action before deciding whether or not you want it.
The cons to this site is that it’s pretty pricey. This site mainly features designer items meaning it costs a lot more than forever21. Sometimes they have some more reasonably priced items in their sale section. But if you’re like me, I like to just come here and browse and get some ideas for my wardrobe but not really buy anything.
Below are some items I find inspiring from this site:
Derek Lam
Philip Lim
Theodora & Callum (how many of you are inspired by Project Runway winner, Anya Ayoung Chee’s style?
Another cool feature of this website is the different “boutiques” they have one of them being the wedding boutique. So if you’re frustrated with the styles of wedding dresses that are available in most stores, you may be able to find something more unique. Just click on their boutiques tab then select “wedding boutique.”
What fashion/style websites have you happened across that you like? Let me know so I can share the goods!
