I love the look of busy white on Jessica Szohr and wanted to try the same look every since I saw this pic. Finally I had every essential piece ready for a mod. shoot today.

I guess working your springy white dress into fall is a trend and it also maximize your wardrobe and creativity!!!

I didn't make it for the front shoot when the timer is done!!
haha..

Today is no make-up day for me since I went to do Power Yoga in the morning.

My ODJ.

hi, Catherine:
thanks, you made my day. :)

Oh, the necklace, I think you don't have to put heavy chain on if you think that's too chunky. Maybe for you, more pearls are better. I am still in a hunt for rhinestones to chain them together so wish me luck then!!

Gorgeous! You look fantastic in white... definitely romantic like PP said. I have good news too -- thanks to you and your rec, I bought the Lanvin Happy Shoulder Sac from BNY in SF. However, I couldn't find a guy called George so someone else helped me. In any case, I'll have to show it to you once I receive at the end of the week. Woo hoo!

This has been a crazy busy week for some reason. Hopefully, I'll talk to you soon.

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!! I also add a fake eye-lashes w/ white dots for more fun and dramatic!! Voila~ my Gray Swan .... w/ Alaia gold lace-up heels! ^^ A full house of ...

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.
