Big shoulder + Mini !!!

This is a vintage evening jacket I found which is from St. John. I fall in love w/ that exquisite details of round plastic thing on top, the pattern in the background and the metallic sheen of it. It keeps me going back and forth to the store just to look at it. Finally I took the plunge to challenge a new look w/ it in my mind.




Normally I wouldn't look into their collection since I don't think they would go w/ my style. However, this way big size of 8 could be the perfect "big shoulder" style which I am up to!!

1.TOP:
  • Kenneth Cole wide collar short sleeves wool turtle neck
  • St. John evening jacket super large size 8
2. Bottom: i. Blues mini black skirt (Made in Italy)
3. Black hosiery
4. Shoes:
  • Nine west past season heels
  • Rudy's Black riding boots (bought in Paris)
5. Accessory:
  • Brass mini disc necklace
  • Elfi's design of 18 K gold w/jade n' round gold bead earrings(They have a matching necklace)
6. Chanel Dark Silver timeless Clutch Hawaii Exclusive


The jacket looks like made from snakeskin!!!!


Can you tell the big shoulder?



w/ heels


w/ boots which is more of me likie style!!

I LOVE THIS LOOK! It's so retro 70's glam! Excellent, excellent, excellent. I find it hard to believe that this vintage jacket is size 14. Talk about how vanity sizing has changed over the years and taken over...
Hello, kai:

I did some research of my Faberge necklace and I just realize how precious it is!! Thanks again.

Yes, if this is size 14 then I would think it is probably a cropped and very fitted blazer w/ its original design. I would never think of getting a size of 14 clothes if I didn't see it in person. haha...... just by thinking I am wearing size 0 to 4!!!!! haha.......
oh...Kai:
I just double checked the size of the jacket....it is size 8... I think that's about right. Otherwise I really start wondering how small/tight w/ size 2 will be then..haha.....

I love this outfit! I know you mentioned that you sometimes get ideas from Japanese magazines... Do you usually like looking at J magazines or American magazines for ideas?

Once again, sorry for the lag! =0) I will send you some cute icons right now! Let me know which ones you like!
Hi, Tammy:
I read runway magazine to update the trend. Mostly I read American mag. for "real" look since you know, runway look is too dramatic to wear.

Japanese mag. is only for finding cute things as they really know how to make little trinkets and just so adorable. When I travel back to Taipei, I look for things I saw from those Japanese mag.

This is such a surprise look from you, as I had never seen you with a 70s glam look. It's fantastic though because you manage to put a bit of modern twist to you. Kudos!

Do you own any other St. John pieces?

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

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 !

Wedge + Clog ! MINE is Clog + Heel!

pic. courtesy from WhoWhatWhere website. I came across this Max Mara clog heels. I can't help myself buying it. Now I am very excited.....why? Cause' it is extraordinary. I love the golden studded along the leather and since I don't like wedge too much, this stiletto is perfect for me. So, did you see the bottom picture to the right? Kate Olsen!!? or Dree Hemingway's looks might work w/ Max Mara clog heels. ( Whose pic. is the very first one w/ fuchsia vest) Normally I am not a copy cat, but this time, I will see if I have something similar like what she wears w/. Yes, that will be a good start to tackle this pair of heels.
