Perk Card!! Make a Great Use Out Of It!!


I double-wear my Chanel necklace.

I received couple Perk Cards from NM loaded w/ $50 at least 3 times and never had the chance to spend it!!


Finally, my mommy friend, Irene and I get together today and decide to make a good use of our perk cards, total worth $100!!! In fact, we all had a great lunch/time in Neiman Marcus!!!



My kids are learning the differences of spider and spider net. hahah..
In our house, even Ilona (my 2 years old daughter) snaps the spider. She thinks spiders are bad insects!! lol


Today, I am very proud of all the kids as we have a compliment from two ladies sitting next to our table. She said that all the kids are well-behaved!!

( I still hope people would give moms a break sometimes when kids are acting all fussy in public. They are just kids and we are human. :P)




Maybe NM can have a small designated reading area for kids!!
They want moms enjoy shopping children clothes there after all, right?!!

My ODJ.

1. TOP:
Max Mara green apple silk tank w/ knot in the back
Chanel 08 red/grey tweed jacket

4. ACCESSORY:

Oh...that's the wind.... makes my belly look BIG!!
No, I am not bloating...I am floating....hahahaha..


Irene carries her 09 fall metallic brown reissue 227, 08 Chanel moon/star earrings, Chanel white stone camellia ring w/ paved diamond (Chanel fine jewelry, didn't show here), o9 Chanel leather mini wedge sandals.


Irene's son is going to have a little brother in 2010!!!! Congrats!!!!


I had to change back to a single layer of Chanel necklace for this look.


We spent the whole afternoon at Stanford shopping center, I shed off my tweed jacket and heels to give my feet a break!!

Hi R! I just left a message at your last post......

Anyway, the alteration of your jeans is perfection! Yup....this fits you way way better than the original fit! Love your Chanel pearl necklace worn double strand. Reminds me that I need to wear mine too! I try not to wear necklace when carrying my son..coz he tends to grab it and pull it! LOL!! Good that you've passed this phase already! Hehe!

Is it cold in your place already? I see that you're wearing jackets and scarves lately...hehe. Here, our weather is still very very humid and hot!! Yikes!

Oh....I think Irene's reissue is the 09A matte bronze reissue in distressed calf, not metallic brown in crackled calf. Metallic brown was available in 08A, not 09A. :P Hehe...I know how it's so confusing with Chanel's seasonal colors... BTW, this 09A bronze is really gorgeous!

So, have you tried the Chanel tweed totes already? I tried a tweed tote with short patent handle + interwoven leather chain in the black/brown color combi with some cute sequins on it.....very pretty!! Too bad I'm not tall enough to carry that tote on my shoulders coz the chains are too long for me (non-adjustable). I think it will look great on you coz you have the height! Here, the price is around US$4,500+. It's the big tweed tote with patent handle on the Chanel website (the website is showing gray/black tweed, but the one I tried on was brown/black tweed with a bit of sequins). Try it try it! (I'm a devil...LOL!!!) The brown/black tweed with sequins is the more expensive version...the website's gray/black version is a bit cheaper. Both are gorgy!

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
Mia
Hi, Michelle: thanks for clarifying Irene's bag..i know it is matte bronze but somehow I lost the stream of thoughts there and write whatever down. hahahaha...

Yes, I don't know why the weather is chill/cold since it is still summer. SF city is the worst, very chill and def. need a jacket!!

I went to NM and didn't see the tote. It is not arrived yet and they have two version, black w/ green tweed vs. taupe w/ green tweed. So I don't think those are the ones you tried one...eh?? They are $3150. I don't think I will spend more than that for a bag...$4500 NO WAY!! I'd rather to buy Cartier charms since I only have "1" on my Cartier bracelet so far. Anyway....there are already people on the waiting list for taupe tweed..so i will just see if I have the fate w/ the bag. NO rush, no desire...hehe.... be good!! :)

Rachel - I got a perk card too and was thinking I'd go next week! LOL. Free lunch, and why not? Your Chanel tweed jacket is lovely though I was wondering if you ever got a price adjustment after it went on sale. What a great investment regardless.

I just returned my YSL Muse 2 to Palo Alto NM today and looked around a little. Nothing is calling my name these days so I'll be good for now.
Hi, Betsy: Yes, you really should use those perk card toward to FOOD. haha.... Their cafe serves really good tasty meals but the service is so-so. :P

Well, i love my tweed jacket to every single thread of it. hahaha... I should proudly say that I paid FULL price for it and I am glad that i think it worth every penny of it too. I guess I won't need another tweed jacket in 5 years from now. hahahahah....

You be good girl and I think you eventually will find your HG reissue. That fucshia is gorgoy but it really isn't that timeless as reissue to me. :)
Hi R! Oh the taupe tweed? I know which one you're talking about. It's the one with taupe leather outside, and then the inside lining is tweed with "tweed fringes" around the rim of the bag, right? It's a cute bag and I actually have a couple of pictures of that bag from my NM SA. It has a flap version too but I think the tote version looks much much better. I might buy that when I'm in Paris next month. Have to try it on first to see how it looks on me. :P Good luck to us! There might be more tweed totes from Fall Act 2...who knows? And I want to buy a Chloe python Paraty too....LOL!! Always endless wishlist for me....I really admire your self-control! Happy weekend!

Cheers,
Mia

Yes..yes..perk card..same here, Rachel. I used my $50 perk card for lunching at Rotunda with DH & DD last Sat. :-) Though, we have to spend more than that, but it's a nice gesture to mail us that perk card :P

How cute Ilona that she has to smack the spider...my DD is doing it...ha..ha..ha...kids are behaving same/similar.

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!
