Currently...


Thinking about... trading in my a-line bob for an undercut a la Scarlett Johansson.

eading... How To Be Parisian Wherever You Are. Borrowed this one from the library and hate to say that it's really more style than substance.

Watching... Ex-Girlfriends Club, The Producers and Masked Prosecutor. I didn't watch K-dramas for awhile but now we're rotating between these 3. I'm not loving one in particular but these are all amusing in their own way.

Listening... to The Smiths Louder Than Bombs. Feeling those old school tunes.

Eating... Chinese vegetables that are in season now like water spinach, red spinach, AA choy. My favorite way to cook them is simply sautéed with garlic.

Drinking... kale and apple smoothies. A good dose of greens and fruit in one. 

Obsessed... with browsing stylish interior designs on Homepolish.

Wearing... short sleeves and skirts.

Shopping for... a new air conditioner since our old one conked out.

Planning... to visit the new Whitney museum and the China Through The Looking Glass exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art soon.

Enjoying... all the pretty flowers in the garden downstairs like the one pictured above. Is that a rose of some kind? I'm just terrible at identifying flowers.

Looking forward to... more photoshoots with Rena and Ian. Thanks for all the lovely comments on their last photo story. Here is a behind the scenes shot with my favorite model poser. He's also my doll surgeon but that's a story for another day.

I've been seriously contemplating an undercut, too! Can't wait to see the results if you do go for it. Have a great weekend Rowena!

Shireen L. Platt said...

Ohhh, I love the undercut on Scarlett Johansson, it was so classy! I hope you share the result with us if you go for it. And yay to Chinese vegetables, it has been Asian cuisine in our home too and it does help to curb my craving. LOL! Wishing you a great weekend, Rowena!

Thanks for sharing, Rowena!
I usually go for dresses in late spring and summer, but for some reason I've been wearing baggy pants and fluid shirts a lot. Comfy chic seems to work for me this season. :)

Hi Rowena! It was really interesting to see what you are up to lately. I am enjoying the flowers around the city too but to be honest, I suck at identifying flowers too. Maybe it is some kind of wild rose? Anyway, browsing stylish interior designs is fun and I'd enjoy it too! And thank God it's getting warmer and warmer, so that we can wear shorts and t-shirts! Have a nice weekend, Rowena! xo

Hoda Katebi said...

I am also so with you on enjoying the flowers--I can't get enough! I keep buying succulents hahaha
Also I just went back and looked at the photos from Rena & Ian's spring date--that was SO adorable!

Wonderful floral photo...I love flowers so much! right my home is full of them...and that last photo is adorable:) doll surgeon, ha? that sounds interesting.

I haven't seen the cut that Scarlet has so I'm not sure what to recommend, but just pick what your heart tells you to. It is always refreshing to change one's hairdo, I'm thinking about getting long bangs.

My Garden Diaries said...

I haven't heard of that interior site! I am so jumping over there to check it out! And I'm with you on the old school tunes my friend! It is good for the soul! Your bloom up there is magic!! And seriously....any hair style you go with will look awesome on you!! Here is to a great weekend Rowena! Nicole xo

Kale & smoothies sound like a real treat! xoxo

Bash Harry said...

I've read such good things about How To Be A Parisian Wherever You Are, but if it's more style than substance...I might give it a pass then. Ahh, great post though! I love reading Currently series <3

Can't wait to see what your hair looks like Rowena;) It's fun to change things up every now and then. I need to check out the book you're reading ....and I'm drinking those smoothies too! So fun to see those "behind the scene photo shoot" of Rena and Ian;) xxL

Gabrielle said...

Kale an apple smoothies sound delicious, and I love that you're able to wear short sleeves and skirts already, the weather isn't so pleasant in the UK just yet! I really enjoy your 'Currently' posts Rowena :)

Hi Ro... I mean Rowena. (I know you hate being called Ro but it sounds kinda cool too) I've always enjoyed being a complete nosey parker and thus I love posts like these to know what you've been up to. I've not been visiting blogs for a long time and I spent almost 3/4 of today catching up. You've got soooooooooooo many posts. I wished I could also write as frequently for my blog. I've been a really bad blogger. Well instead of leaving so many comments and bursting your email notification, I shall leave a bomb here. Here goes!

I really like the way you shoot Ian and Rena and I always think they are a replica of you and the hubz. I'm very intrigued by them too coz they are almost so human with cute little clothes and accessories and props. I don't know much about dolls but I reckon everything about them would add up to quite a lot of money spent on this hobby but it is so well-spent. I love them!

You always feature the best of Korean celebs. I always find the whole K-wave not to my liking coz they are too Pop-y but when I see all these beautiful editorials on your blog, I just fall in love with everyone guy or gal and often wished I could so photoshoots like those too. Zhao Wei look so different in those shoots. I love how everything is styled in that editorial. I know that Zhao Wei married and gave birth to her daughter in Singapore but I often am confused about where she is located now.

The facts about yourself is simply a joy to read! Thank you for sharing with us more about yourself.

Love that fearless girl / actress too! ;) That Black Widow rocks! Haha! Yeah How To Be Parisian is a fun style book for sure. I've wrote a little review about it a long time ago and I've taken it not too seriously too! But I have to admit, these ladies know how to promote a book! ;) Haha, lovely model poser and doll surgeon! So nice to see how your husband supports you, Rowena! Have a wonderful time you two!!!

The ExGirlfriends Club, is that on Netflix? I just finished watching the Australian version of "The Slap" soooo much better then the American version and same with 'The Returned" the French version is really cool but the American one is awful totally different feel. I love those dolls.

LOVE that flower photo! So gorgeous! And I'm shopping for a new A/C unit too especially now that the summer temperatures are upon us!

OMG you listen to The Smiths! I love Morrissey and The Smiths! I was lucky to see him perform a few years ago but would love if the band reunited and went on tour one day...

So many things are happening in your life. If you get a chance to write about the expo - it would be amazing. A friend of mine designed a hat for this exhibition - if only I could be there to see everything in person, it would be a dream.

If you try out that hair-cut, I'd love to see! I'm sure you'll rock it.

Mmm smoothies. I've had a couple this week so far as well!

Tales of Whimsy said...

Kale and apple sounds sooo healthy. I need to try it.

Vanessa N said...

YASS I also recently got back into kdrams (so much groaning/resistance on my part though, because they're so cheesy but I can't help it and I'm just eating it all up). I watched the first episode of "Ex-Girlfriends Club" on Viki and I really enjoyed it, but for some reason I was having server issues, so I ended up going on Netflix and watching "Cunning Single Lady" and am seriously loving it so far. (This was all last night, HAH)

ScarJo's hair...BAMF. Doubt us mere mortals would be able to pull it off though.
