Updates Of Retro Christian Dior Dress TOP!

The concern of Chanel mini flap is its chain. For most people, they concern that the mini flap would sit right on their hip bone. Maybe it is also because they are just being body-conscious.

For me, I like the way wherever it sits on, whether my hip bone, my butt or even my belly. I assume that my body is not that curved to be aware where my flap would go as long as it is secured on me.

Today, the weather is quite nice and sunny. I prepared this ensemble just for such nice weather -- finally, my altered Christian Dior dress TOP has the chance to show its face. This is the debut of the top look and I shall have more inspiration for the two pieces dress in the future.

MY ODJ!

1. TOP:
  • Christian Dior multi-colored top after alternation (one shoulder stop w/ drape)
  • American Apparel teal green halter top / asymmetrical skirt dress
  • L. K. collection burgundy ruffle collar w/ tulip design 1/2 sleeves coat
  • Max&Co. ruched belt
2. Black lace leggings
3. Shoes: Charles David black pointed sling back stilletto
4. Chanel Black caviar mini flap w/ silver HW
5. Cameo w/ gold frame (chained as a necklace)

I shortened the chain to hand-held the mini flap.


I will wear the Dior top alone next time!!


Look at my triceps!! haha...


Mini flap sits on my butt!


Mini flap sits on my belly or hip bone!!


Why worry it so much?!! Just carry it away!!!

Rachel (hope you don't mind me calling you by name :), I love how you alter clothes to fit your body/needs. The red/green combo is really bold and the mini really pops against the red jacket.

btw, your daughter is adorable!! my son's first "professional" haircut was so traumatic that we never went back :P

haha...Nancy:

Thanks, sweetie. How have you been?

I guess that's why people say the personality of your children has something to do w/ their orders of being born. My little girl is really mature compared to the same age of my older son and older daughter. haha... I totally can imagine your son's freaking out about having a hair cut. But I remember my son is not so bad since I let him hold a big box of candy. hehe.....Since then, he enjoys going to there for a hair cut, always have some treats afterward. You should give it a try then. hah...

Rachel - I love how you wear your dior top over the dress.. It looks like you draped a shawl over the dress, very creative! Oh, does your mini flap come in other colors? Also, I just PM'ed you in TPF about your trip to L.A.

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me.  My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation.... Twilight poster - "eclipse"...haha..  My Gray Swan make-up! I use black eyeliner for the outline of the feather.  Bobbie Brown newest eyeshadow : Black velvet and dab w/ The Body Shop silver-gray eyeshadow for more definition.  I could do better next time for more details on feather!!

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top:  Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3. Shoes:  09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...
