New Bags, New Mood! Get ready for Spring!!

So I bought two new bags and both of them are small. My friend said that my preference for bags became smaller and smaller. I guess she is right!! After a long, cold winter, I am ready to set my mood for spring/summer.

This is what I wore on Sun. I played w/ my skirt which I bought before I had my first son. After almost 5 yr. I think the trend just brought back my love for this skirt; asymmetrical, ruffles, floral knee length skirt. I even tried it as a top and I think it works wonderful.

1. TOP:

D&G pink sleeveless shirt
Catalina blossom flower top
Kookai skirt (I wore it as my top too)

2. Bottom: nude bubble shorts

3. Chanel Valentine's medium flap in coral pink
4. Chanel 09 camellia banquet w/ peal drop earrings

5. Shoes: Jean-Michel Cazabat buckle sandal

6. Camel suede belt

I use an abstract patterned shirt as a belt.

The skirt is perfect for this spring and my new Chanel coral red bag.

I had a nude bubble shorts on just in case you are wondering if my TOP/SKIRT is too short!! haha

Rachel - You are ready for spring! Is it hot up north? Because it's pretty cold here today. You do a fantastic job mixing prints, I am still trying to master that. Oh, for the jelly sandals, I found a pair that's ivory with black flower, but my SA is locating the black with ivory flower for me... Which combo do you like better? I thought the ivory with black flower is more striking, but I am afraid they would be yucky-looking after wearing them outside.

Rachel -- You are so ready for spring! I agree with Izy that you do a wonderful job mixing prints and textures.

Izy -- I think the ivory flower on black is more versatile than the other combo, IMHO. It might last you longer than the black flower on ivory.

Isabel: I think that's the problem w/ Ivory w/ black camellia. Some Tpfer talked about that before.

If your feet sweat a lot...I think you should get black w/ ivory camellia. I am thinking light pink or orange...they are for summer and I don't think I would wear them in the winter. As for summer, all the clothes are light, pastel color........oh, well, I am just so in a mood for s/s as I bought that coral flap. haha..

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 !!!
