Inspired by Marni Runway 09'!! A Nostalgic Dress of Mine!!

I bought this DKNY silk dress when I was still in college in Taiwan.



Back then, I was so in love w/ their design, the display/music played in the boutique and even envy SAs who work there. hahaha.. .... Yes, I must think it is a wonderful thing to have an employee discount and to wear their tres chic clothes at work everyday. :)

I have so many memories w/ this dress, such as I remember vividly which boutique I purchased it from, how much I paid it for, and I even wore this dress to a beauty pageant contest. lol

Don't you ever think of giving up a dress when, in fact, it sits in your closet for too long and you barely ever wear it??!! However, deep in your heart, you are still waiting for the coming back of its time to wear it again!!!

I am so happy that I instantly thought of this DKNY dress when browsing Marni's 2009 runway collection back in August.

I am happy that I found a new way to express the beauty of this simple silk dress!!

Best of all, I saved tones of money!! lol


Silk + fur + embroidery + bold pattern leggings + platform heels = gorgeous!!


The only thing I can't figure it out is the Micky mouse gloves!!! :P


She looks so warm and secure under that crape!
The pants has an interesting detail of zipper-pull. To tell ya girls that I even had one of my pants added w/ two zippers in front and w/ exposed metal teeth just want to try the trendy look but don't want to buy another pair of cropped pants.

DH and I are good after communicating our thoughts through emails, phone calls, and harmless arguments. :P I really am not the type of woman who easily hides her emotion, rather "talk to me" and "to feel how my heart feels" are the best ways to help me understand a guy's conscience!!

I am glad that in-laws are gone and I also make sure that they don't think they are the cause of our fight. Well, honestly, they might add tension between DH and I. But for us, it also is a great chance that DH and I can work things out and learn to avoid the tension filling up between each other next time when in-laws visit. :)




tis' the season... pumpkin!!


This is the ugliest rooster I've ever seen. :P


BEAST + beauty!!
haha... We are always an opposite: Under-dressed Vs. Overdressed couple!!

We have two unknown plum trees in our backyard before we even moved in. But I never wanted any fruit tree in our backyard since I don't think I will have time to mind gardening work. Today, finally, I gave in to my mother-in-law who wants a fruit tree in the backyard, I bought a dwarf lemon tree from Half Moon Bay!!! :)


Maybe I can find something similar to a bib necklace to mimic Marni's look more.

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
