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!!

Birthday Gift from My Dearest Darling!! Oh, Hermes!!

Oh, Hermes!! Oh, my love!! I mean both my DH and Hermes!! :P My SA insists me saying nothing about this beauty on the website. And I promised her!! The truth is the picture is worth more than a thousand words, let me share my ultimate excitement silently!! A little extra business for my SA goes a long way for our relationship!! Hermes white leather on golden studded cuff can go w/ my Chanel matte white reissue 227 That's my 09 multicolored hot air balloon print Hermes scarf The cuff can also go w/ my 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !!! I almost faint when I received it!! I believe every rookie of Hermes feels the same as I do!! hahah.... I think I catch the color very true! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !

Make It Work!! Isn't that the State of The Art For Fashion Trend!!!

Yes, I would think if you flip through most runway fashion magazines, you would be inspired w/ awe. WHY? Cause' every piece seems work out together just fine...oh, not just fine, it is nearly fabulous looking......on models. :P People constantly ask me if that's ok to wear socks w/ peeptoe heels, mary-jane, sandal heels......etc. and as a matter of fact, I LOVE that style ever since I had memory. ^O^ The only challenge is what kind of socks you choose to go w/ it!! Sheer metallic socks w/ sandal heels. Burberry Possum plays a lot socks w/ sandals platform since last spring. Isn't the lace knee wraps fun!! Christopher Kane's S/S 10 collection uses lots of gingham patterns. Do you think you can still find your grand mom table clothes or old dress to update its look a bit!!? Nothing not to love about those light fabric... so romantic. Louis Vuitton (RIGHT) plays w/ such intensive patterns n' different cuttings...
