It’s the first Monday of April! I hope all of you had an amazing weekend! Everytime there’s a new month rolls around, I always feel like I can start over and give my best shot to all the things I want to do. Here are some of the things that inspire me today! 
This is exactly what I want to wear. A great smile and a cape shirt to make me feel like a superhero!
Since I wouldn’t be able to wear cape jackets and coats in Hawaii, these are my alternatives! From left to right:1. Duchess Lace Cape $610.00 (bhldn.com), 2. ASOS jersey cape detail dress $21.52 3. The wild and free tail shirt $60.00 (Market HQ)
I often fantasize about having a handsome chef husband making me delicious breakfast every morning. This is Sebastien Gaudard at his home with his dog in Paris.
Book I want to read and the movie I want to see!
My work outfit is pretty simple. I usually go for black and white colors, one statement jewelry piece, a clutch (I don’t like big bags) and a bright shoes to brighten things up! 1. Elizabeth IV ruched-sleeve blazer $255.00 (theoutnet.com) 2. Bide The Rebirth low-rise cropped skinny jeans $270.00 (netaporter.com) 3. Elizabeth And James “Bird Claw” Ring $150.00 (Bloomingdales.com) 4.Big Buddha Vegas $78.00 (lorisshoes.com) 5. Brian Atwood shoes (Price Unknown) 6.3.1 Phillip Lim Conner 57 15-140 Sunglasses For Women $275.00 (Ssense.com)
Two necklaces I’m in love with! From left to right: 1. 4321 Necklace $325.00 (TomTomjewelry.com) 2. World Links Necklace $60.00 (Designglut.com) 
Go out and conquer your world today! xxooxoxxoxoo

Totally into the cape top that is freaking awesome!! I have never seen Jane Eyre. It’s always been one of those movies I want to see but no one will watch it with me… boo. I’m in love with your work outfit!! It’s perfect, there isn’t a thing I would change. Love those shoes!! I love that you don’t like big bags. I’m the same way. I end up cluttering too much crap just to fill it up. All I really carry is my phone, credit card, sunglasses and lipstick. I don’t need a diaper bag for that haha! : )
I haven’t seen any new movies recently which has become depressing but I need to get back on it. This weekend was horrible I got a very minor case of food poisoning so I have been absent these last few days. It’s good to hear you were kept busy. I bet you got a lot done!! I always love that feeling but it can get super exhausting because Monday rolls around and it’s back to work, eck. I hope your boss will magically give you a day off so you can enjoy life billionaire style, haha!! That would be awesome! Have a great day!! : )
How much I love your work style! We see eye to eye: I also go for neutral colours, a clutch (the best and most stylish type of bag there is) and a statement jewelry or shoes in a contrasting, maybe bright, colour. The smile on your face? That’s part of a remarkable style. We shouldn’t leave the house without it. Hope you have a great week, Shin! xoxo Ada
Great Post, I love the frist pic, she look beautiful… kisses
Great post Shin! I always love to read your monday’s posts because they put a smile o my face…and belive me…it’s not easy, knowing the fact that I hate mondays 🙂

In many(mini) ways “truly significant & meaningful,” Shin, you are, indeed, even sans cape, a “true superhero,” ya know!? 🙂
as you’re wondrously moved, motivated, & inspired to bring & gift us with so many such delightfully lovely & creative posts — giving us all so many smiles & scintillating, sparkling, moments of love & inspiration! 🙂
hopefully, you can both see & appreciate what i’m sayin’, and therefore realize that “in my book” and some really “greater, broader dynamic” — Sweetheart, your wish has in some sense already come true, as you’re already, “Ms. Shin(sational),” superheroine!!! ;D
I’m sure I will have a great time and thanks for wishing me luck! It’s so hard keeping my head at schoolstuff while in less than a week I’ll be in Rome! Great inspiration and I wish I had working-clothe slike that and such a cute husband! 😉

I am in love with that lace cape!
hey!! I’m not sure about cape shirts, I think it’s really original, but I don’t think they would work for me. I love the map necklace though. And I belive the world is our oyster 😀

I love that cape shirt. You would really look like a superhero in it. Very cool and tasteful.
I also like those Bide The Rebirth low-rise cropped skinny jeans. Combined those pieces you would be so fierce as your figure is one of a superhero too

Inspiring, amanzing and beautiful. you are great, dear
That cape top is gorgeous! I want one now (I’m a huge fan of capes to begin with). The idea of having a top version is great for the summer. I have a very similar work wardrobe. Usually stick to neutrals and spice things up with accessories or shoes. Love that claw ring and the clutch!
I’ve always wondered about chefs. If they cook so much for work, would they want to come home and cook some more?! I love his little dog with the sweater on. I miss your outfit posts, Sher!!!
Oh crap! I misstyped, I mean SHIN 🙂
Great post, gives me a little pep on Monday, I can’t believe we are already into April time is flying by so fast its scary……..I love the work outfit, those shoes are fab!!!
WHOA! Those thigh-high boots are hot! If only I had the leg to pull that off! And the drama of the capes. Amazing! A chef husband…you know, I dream about that too! The perfect way to sample gourmet, delicious food every night, without me needing to actually cook! ; D
btw, I finally got around to posting Tommy Ton’s Fashion Week Diary!

Hi honey!! The boots in the 1st photo are amazing and I think your work outfit is PERFECT! Simple, but sooo chic. I’m seriously amazed at your taste in style, you have spectacular fashion choices…and so cool that you live in Hawaii! 🙂
(also thank you kindly for your recent comment, I’m honoured that it was one of your favourite outfits!)

I’m with you on loving the beginning of the month. I’ve been on a huge personal development and goal setting kick, so the first of the month is always like Christmas for me – I’m so giddy to start new projects and have a fresh start etc. May April bring you everything you hope for (including that cute chef husband who makes a mean omelet!!)
That first outfit is gorgeous. I want her boots!
Hello!

You’ve made me want a cape so much! That white lace one is astounding, though gods knows what the hell I’d wear it with! I love the necklaces too. They actually fit in well with the superhero vibe provided by the cape!
I am so glad we are in April, it means spring, the end of exams, and more sun ^^ Nice post by the way , you pictures are a great inspiration 🙂
