Effortless Casual Chic + YSL 09' runway elastic booties!!

vAfter we had dinner w/ friends, I quickly packed some very light clothes and BIG warm coats!! My friends including you fab. girls live in south Cal. keep telling me that it is so warm in LA. And all I need is a pair of SANDALS!!! Absolutely no need to bring boots at all!!! Ok, that just sound very disappointing cause' I am a boots gal in winter......... :(


Anyway, Yu and I scheduled that we should leave home at 6:00 AM to avoid the traffic!! I am waiting for the laundry while blogging at the same time.  I'd like to leave home w/ no left-over in the fridge, no trash, and no dirty laundry cause' when we come back home, I can be relaxed mentally and not being stressed out by thinking of all the un-done house chores!!  


This is what I think : ----- Leave Home Happy, and Come Back Home Happy!! ------- :)

Ok, back to today's business! 
I found two cardigans in Anthro. last week and they are great candidates for the look we saw in Nordi. However, they only have size L left for Navy, and size S left for Orange!!




This one is size Large and two sleeves are overwhelming on my frame, however, that is just what I want a slightly slouchy look on me!



This is size Small which fits perfectly on me but I bought the large Navy one instead!!

I cinch the cardigan and like the style very much!




Here is the look I copied today!!


This is the final ideal look!!

My ODJ


1. TOP:
  • Splendid shirt w/ one pocket $68
  • Big knitting cardigan (Anthro.) for $89
2. Bottom: TSE high waist tapered wool pants (bought last year)
3. Accessory:
  • white knitting scarf w/ sequins
  • Flying Lizard Design necklace
  • Chanel 08' perforated Rodeo Drive large tote
4. Shoes: YSL 09' runway elastic band booties










I love the striped scarf and it adds fun to my outfit!







I use safety pins to make cuffs on both sleeves: 1. to shorten the sleeves 2. so the too large cardigan would look proportioned on me


Good nite

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi R! I like your cardigan, and I also think that a slightly slouchy look is nicer than a fitted look for this type of cardigan. Nice price too! I own something like that as well from Kookai and some other brands.....I think I need to dig them out to put up some ensembles! :D Oh that knitted sequined scarf is a nice accessory on your outfit. I bought something similar too from Kookai in Paris but it's in mesh material in black with some navy & brownish beads. Don't you just love little things like that? Just can't get enough...haha!

Oh...I almost forgot to ask you. What size do you wear for your Givenchy wedge booties? I am planning to buy them too during the sale. :D Just want to make sure I order the correct size as we don't have it hear locally.

Anyway, enjoy LA and come back home HAPPY!

Cheers,
Mia
Great outfit!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family :)

R - Have fun in LA! You are lookin' hot and ready to take the SoCal fashion scene by storm. LOL. The sequin scarf is an unexpected but fun touch to your striped shirt. I still have a difficult time believing those YSL heels are comfortable, but they are very drool worthy regardless.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Yu's family!

Oh, wow! That ChloƩ look was almost perfect! A brown or gray belt and it would have been complete. Still, it was perfect! I love the contrasts and the fitted pants. You have a marvelous waist to have had children! Great on you!
Happy holidays to you all!

First of all,i think I'm going start fitness posts next week if I can tape some work out routine and wear my fab work out gears、、、 ha,i had way too much seafood and already feel bloating around my waist!:)
But that can wait,I'm enjoy my time here in soCal and going to south coast plaza in an hour to make some damage!

Hi R! Fitness posts sound great. Glad you're enjoying your time in soCal! Happy Shopping and make more damage! LOL!

BTW, thanks for your shoe size. But I'm referring to the Givenchy Wedge Booties, not the YSL one...hehe! If you remember your Givenchy wedge booties size, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Hi R, Hope you had fun shopping in L.A. I can't wait to see what you got. I'm in love with your Chloe Wedge Boots. Do you know if stores still carry this boot style? I've been looking but I don't seem to find them. I saw a pair on ebay but not in my size :(

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! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !

Wedge + Clog ! MINE is Clog + Heel!

pic. courtesy from WhoWhatWhere website. I came across this Max Mara clog heels. I can't help myself buying it. Now I am very excited.....why? Cause' it is extraordinary. I love the golden studded along the leather and since I don't like wedge too much, this stiletto is perfect for me. So, did you see the bottom picture to the right? Kate Olsen!!? or Dree Hemingway's looks might work w/ Max Mara clog heels. ( Whose pic. is the very first one w/ fuchsia vest) Normally I am not a copy cat, but this time, I will see if I have something similar like what she wears w/. Yes, that will be a good start to tackle this pair of heels.
