So, I'm back in Asia again for work + Sorry for the lack of posts

Heya Friends and Readers,

Sorry for the lack of posts lately as it's been a bit of a crazy season at work with lots of traveling all around.  Currently, I'm on a 3 week trip to China and the UK for work (factories + partner meetings) having had less than a week back in states from another 2+ week trip.  I just wanted to touch base with you all to let you know that I'm still alive and so is STANDARD DEVIATION!

Thankfully, at least for the time being, I am staying at my favorite hotel in Shanghai with access to both my blog AND Facebook.  Thank you LANGHAM!  So, I will definitely be updating with a lot more posts.... that is, if I don't fall asleep while writing them.  Above photo from the Club Lounge at the Langham taken just now.  There, you have proof of my whereabouts.  Just don't stalk me.  :)

Anyhoo, just saying hi to you all and hope all is well.

In the meantime, you can always find me on INSTAGRAM! @standeviationco

Off to Asia Again + Follow us...Twitter + Facebook + Blog Lovin

So, I am off to Asia again for another work trip.  On the itinerary this time, mostly Shanghai and the surrounding areas + another really quick trip back to Taipei.  In fact, I'm writing this post from the Lounge at the Taoyuan airport while I'm sipping on some Yakult and eating braised beef noodle soup (don't ask me why, it's sort of become a traditions.  haha.  Gotta love the transfers.) But I'm only gone for 2 weeks this time, so you won't be missing me that much.

In the meantime, you can always find me on INSTAGRAM as I'm sure China hasn't blocked that YET! @standeviationco

Taipei, Taiwan - Instagrammed (April 2012)

So the last part of my trip, I headed back to my home Taipei, Taiwan for some relaxation and family time.  It wasn't a very long stay here but I sure made the most of it - saw a bunch of friends, eat a bunch of food (understatement), and shopped a bunch too (well, duh!).

There's just something about Taipei that I connect with, I guess.  I love the people, I love the food, I love the fact I can go to Eslite bookstore at 2 AM!  If given the chance,  I think I would move back... if only there was more of a fashion design industry and a certain someone would hurry up and learn MANDARIN (hint, hint)!  Anyways, it's always good to be in Taipei.  Till next time of course!

Seoul, Korea - Instagrammed (April 2012)

So, as a part of my Asia vendor/work trip, I was fortunate enough to head over to Seoul, Korea.  It was my first time in Seoul and good thing I had some trusty classmates from my Otis days there working as designers & stylists to give me the lay of the land and most importantly take me eating and shopping.  Oh, and boy, did we eat and shop like it was our last day on earth!  [Hi Jung and Linda!] And of course I worked on setting up new vendors and ran around to several meetings as well.  Busy, busy, busy.

I will have to say Seoul rocked!  I did not expect to like it as much as I did!  Definitely looking forward to my next trip there where it will just be about shopping, shopping, shopping.  Of course, after seeing the sizing of clothes there [all display sizes at A.P.C. were XS for men!!!!], I might need to get on a treadmill non-stop + liquid diet before I go....the price we pay for fashion.  Sigh... haha  

Oh yeah...and apparently I've decided to learn Korean. 안녕하세요!

Some notable shopping spots we hit: Doota (Dongdaemun), Myeongdong, Insa-dong, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, COEX, Itaewon, Sinsa-Dong (Garosu-gil).........Can't wait to go back!!!!!
