Fashion Inspired by everything everyday!!

Yesterday, after we had lunch, we went to Borders book store. I, no doubt, browse through some fashion magazines while kids are reading their story books. Just amazed how fashion goes around and comes around after couple years. Therefore, I played w/ my Marc Jacob dress from the past season and figured a way to pull it off better w/ a up-to-date look.

Here Outfit du Jour is the inspiration I got. I wore my Marc Jacob dress as a high waist tulip skirt w/ its 2 strings which suppose to go around my torso as a haltered style dress. I hooked two ends together after wrapping them around my waist.

I felt like an old fashioned lady from the past century who wrapped cloth around the waist just so she can have a small waist!!!

Here are the details of my ODJ!!

1. TOP:

Hugo Boss plum colored turtleneck w/ tulip style shoulders
Gucci black tank top
Ted Baker white baby-doll style & extra high collar coat

2. Bottom: Marc Jacobs dress w/ feather decor.
3. black leggings
4. Shoes: Costum National navy/grayish oxford booties
5. Accessories:

Designer friend, Eifl's white & pink mother of pearls necklace
Vintage pearl necklace w/ very interesting way of wearing

6. Chanel 08 pre-fall Navy striped reissue 227

I love to carry this Chanel navy striped reissue 227 as a clutch since it is structured & not too soft as my Gray jumbo classic.

I had this Ted Baker extra large collar baby-doll coat to warm me up.

Kids loves cakes and puffs...don't we adults!!!

I should attach the original look of this Marc Jacobs dress some day!!

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
