Got Style???

I am playing w/ all kind of styles these days and I think whenever I saw someone looks good in one particular style, I try to mimic it!!

Then I think I might lose my personal style a little and just to be someone else which is, in fact, not all bad at all!! This must have something to do w/ dual personality and I believe everyone has that potential to act as someone else.

Being like someone else doesn't seem to be bad at all in my opinion. I get to change my attitude to fit whatever ensemble I wore and even change a mood w/ it. Aren't everyone like me trying all sorts of style but eventually go back to the real personality w/ distinctive style of yourself!!!???

I think I really like pleated skirts. I counted that I have total 3 pleated skirts w/ different width of the pleats. They are 2 black and 1 yellow-dominated pleated skirts. It gives me a formal yet cute look, yes, just like high school girl.

1. TOP:
  • Hugo Boss mustard ruched turtleneck
  • D&G multiple-colored leaves sheer blouse
  • A/X satin trim blazer
2. Bottom: no brand, fabric from France wide pleated skrit
3. Hosiery: Baby blue
4. Shoes: Betsy Johnson gold-heel w/ ankle straps heels
5. Chanel distressed white reissue 227 08/09 cruise collection
6. Hermes' Ostrich belt w/ gold textured "H" buckle

Yellow and blue are contrast colors and I want my white reissue stand out more w/ blue undertone!! Does it work? Well, yeh, it is so white under the bright light!!



I think I need more holes on my belt...it is a bit loose!!!




I really like that baby-blue color stockings.......

I think every girl should have a pleated skirt in her wardrobe! I also wore mine today!

Rachel,

You look so cute! I like the scarf you are wearing! I think I may take the plunge and get the LV scarf after all. I just claimed my incircle points from NM and I have $500 in GC, so if I use that, the scarf is only $225.... Still thinking though...

You've got quite a collection of leggings there! It gives such a different feel to the outfit. What's your suggestion of wearing a pleated skirt for someone like me who doesn't have much of a waist? Should I avoid it completely? Or just use a wide belt to help create an illusion that there is a waist. Love all these ideas that you inspire for us.

Izy -- If you have the GC for LV scarf, you should totally do it!!! It's a beautiful scarf and it's going to last a long time. I have heard it gets snag a bit easily, but I'm sure you will have no problems taking care of it well like you do with your other pretty pieces. :)
Hi, La: yes, I love pleated skirt...but I noticed that yours is more like a chiffon skirt???

I absolute love white..ivory or cream. I had my Ted Baker Audrey Hepburn style coat and absolutely love the clean/feminine/soft look!! YOur cream coat is lovely too!!
AND...oh, I must get a Birkin too!!!
hehe...Isabel: that is not a scarf...I think it is the signature design of D&G sheer blouse..an extra tie/strings around the neck so you can make a bow out of it.

yes, I think w/ GC, you should totally make great use of it especially that's what you really want at this moment...(I know there are bags you want.),but there is always bags....you do't get to see the great pattern of leopard shawl very often.
Betsy, everyone has a waist of course, the different is short waist or long waist....which makes the waist obvious or not that obvious!!!

I just read from People??? or some mag. talking about how to choose a belt!!! It goes: short waist (I assume your upper body is short too) can have thin belt while long waist is great w/ wide belt.So, you are right, maybe a wide belt will go w/ the pleat skirt on you to create a more feminine look of you =)However I am pretty sure the width and length of the skirt will make huge differences. You just have to try it out!! (don't cost a dime!!)

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!!

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.
