This is one of my favorite dresses that I don’t wear nearly often enough.  Since it’s such a head-turning statement piece, I usually reserve it for special outings.  But last weekend, I felt like wearing it just ’cause.  Eric joked that I could probably hide a small child in my sleeves.  We tested the theory, and it turns out that they can definitely hold my wallet, keys and cellphone… with room to spare!

While I definitely enjoyed my vacation, it felt so good to be back in the city.  As soon as I got back home, the first thing I did was put on all black before hopping onto a subway to hang out in Soho.  It was one of those rare times when we pretty much had the entire train car to ourselves, so I entertained myself with an impromptu photo shoot.

Hello, Detroit!

Hey Gang!

As I mentioned briefly in my last post, I’m just getting back from my family reunion in Detroit, followed by a brief stint in Chicago.  I decided to take a break from blogging while  I was away, but now I’m back with a vengeance, i.e., prepare to bombarded with photo-heavy posts over the next couple of days!

I prefer to not pay exorbitant baggage fees travel light, so I stuck to a pastel color theme while packing for this trip (more on that later).  I wore the above outfit for a family BBQ out at Kensington Metropark, and I’m happy to report that I made it through the entire day with ZERO bbq sauce stains.

The following are a few photo highlights from the first leg of our trip…

The reunion was a 3-day affair, and this year’s banquet was held on a riverboat cruise.  Check out the ahhh-mazing view we got of the Detroit skyline…

The blue-trimmed buildings in the middle make up the Renaissance Center (locally known as the RenCen) and is home to GM’s world headquarters.

One of my family members is a historian and genealogist, and this is one of several books he’s written about tracing family history.

And here’s the whole crew!  We hold these reunions every two years in different cities, and it’s always so great to see everyone all in the same place.
