Mannequin?

Yesterday, I met a new girl friend, a loving wife and a mom of two sons. We have the same passion about fashion, mainly is toward a high brand, Chanel. Yes, what's not to love talking about Chanel, right?!! But because we both have family, kids and being a stay-home mom period, we value things differently from we used to be when we are only ourselves. We spend wisely I guess!!

We spent whole afternoon together doing window shopping and we went down to the city of Saratoga. It is a very nice town, quiet but sometimes might be too conservative for we girls. However, if you do stop by each stores there, you will find little "treasures" hidden.

This store we stopped by is called "Vanity by MK" which is only opened couple weeks ago.
They sell a lot of costume jewelry. Some of them are uniquely handmade w/ imported materials or even Vintage jewelry w/ modern touch to update its look. They had a little Valentine's party. My friend and I didn't notice the two models standing/modeling clothes of their store until we ask for taking pic. for ourselves. The manager is actually very glad that she suggested we can even take pic. inside the window display w/ two other girls. There I realized how fun and smart idea of advertising their newly opened store w/ their SAs. Those two models seem very professional and they might have done this before. The pose, the make-up and the moderate smile is just so comfortable to look at.

I walked in the window display and did couple poses. I would say that is a wonderful experience I ever had to be a window display model. I like the girls/SAs in that store and they all have a down to earth personality.




My Valentine's Day outfit.

1. Celine red sheath dress
2. Jamie Chen(Taiwan designer) black cropped cardigan w/ satin bow tie
3. black leggings
4. Jean-Mitchel Cazabat buckle heels
5. Chanel Dark silver timeless Hawaii exclusive clutch


I should do a dramatic make-up to look more like a Mannequin. hha...

What a great shot, Rachel!! You and Izabel looked like you had such a blast. Too bad I wasn't in town or I would've loved to join you guys at NM and Stanford. Maybe next time around.

Can't wait to see more of today's post...

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.
