Can't Have Enough of Alexander Wang -- The Skirt n' Coco Duffel Bag!!

My parents came yesterday evening...and yes, my mom did bring over the Chanel classic jumbo I bought for her!!! My heart palpitated so fast after seeing her carrying that THEN-Mine-NOW-HERs bag!! lol  I really love the classic look of Chanel!!!



Well, I know you must think that I could either trade or borrow that classic jumbo from her, but I just don't know how to ASK!! So I think I will wait till next spring and see if boutique, NM or SAKs would order Chanel matte black reissue 226 w/ gold hardware!!!!!!Wish me luck then!!



Anyway, here is the look of me today!!! I must say it is hard to resist loving Alexander Wang Coco Duffel bag and obviously HE is getting so popular this season. A girl ran to me when we were crossing an intersection in SF city today just because she wants to know where did I get the Coco Duffel bag!!!! lol



I am glad I had a fur vest on... it gets so chilly in SF city!




I am only holding a pair of Alexander Wang's combat black heels... satisfied!!! :)


I had so much fun today as my dad can take pic. for me anytime and anywhere....not like DH!!! :P

1. Top:
  • a gray tank w/ pocket which I forgot the brand which is also not important... :P
  • Mcginn cropped jacket w/ come w/ it vest

Wouldn't you know it, this baby caught my eye and my "purse"!! haha.. They are just marvelous!!!


Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels!
 


They are a work of art!!



I don't know why they had to make the shoe run such small of the size these days.... I had to order half size smaller from another Barney's New York!!



I will see you around!!!!

Wow...nice shoes!! I was actually eyeing the booties version.....but these pumps look yummy. Maybe I should add it to my shoe wishlist...LOL! But the patent leather...seems too firm/sturdy?

BTW, I'm really curious...the picture with your shoes high up in the air, did you/your dad take the photo with you wearing your short skirt then lifting your legs up there? Hahahahah....just can't imagine how you do it.....LOL! Sorry...I'm too analytical.....hahahha!

Anyway, nice skirt.

Oh...you have to get the reissue 226. It's the ultimate classic bag of Chanel....even better than classic caviar jumbo in black. Heard there will be a price increase either December or Jan timeframe...hurry hurry!

Cheers,
Mia
Oh I deleted my previous post coz I had some spelling error...haha...perfectionist me. :P

Anyway, I was saying....I saw your reply to Julia that you want to make a whole album of you in "nearly nude" in the future!! Wow....I bow to your courage!! Heads down. Go for it! It will be a great memory. But remember to do it before the age of 35 (I remember you're a lot younger than me right?)...don't wait too long. Early 30s I think is the golden age/years of women. :D Seize the day!

Cheers,
Mia
Love the Alexander Wang skirt!

you were in the city today? i was there too! at barneys and i tried on the same shoes! i also tried on the ysl heels you bought, they are actually pretty comfy but the skinny heel makes me really nervous, like what if i step on the cracks on the sidewalk? i love the pose with the mannequin, did you put the boot on the head? another beautiful outfit today!

i give my mom my purses too!! LOL, i think i've passed on about 5 of my purses to her and we did a even trade for another :P
Hi, mia:
the booties is very nice too ...but I think it is too "hard" of a look to pair w/ an outfit....and I think heels w/ that kind of "sharp design" would be a better option! Besides, you know how many boots I already purchased this year.... no more boots!! :)

You know that pic. of my legs raising up that high is taken by myself.... of course I was sitting on the sofa and just raise my legs.... I have very strong abdominal and even Yu is so impressed when we were in LA and she saw the way I do push-ups and sit-ups. hahahaha... Anyway, now you reminds me to think if there are any other people around...hum... I assume not in front of ME!!! :P I think the pencil skirt is long enough to cover my butt even I lift my legs that high!! ^^

Well, I guess either way I will pay extra for that size of 226 anyway, it is already $2895 and $3195 for 227. I will wait till next February.

grrr... then I guess I have to hurry up before I am turning into 35 then..it is only couple years from now!! Geez...
Thanks, Mike!

BTW, I love violet/blue bags on your blog...that's my color.
hey, thanks-giving girl: today I am thankful that my parents are here and because of them, I am here in USA!!!

Thank you for your inspiration!!
wow..Catherine: maybe next time you should call/email me if you plan to go to SF city.

I was there w/ my whole crew..oh, my parents.

So you mean you tried the P.S cap toe heels? or A. Wang ? My mom said that washed acid white boots like I am going to a WAR...and it looked extra huge on my all black outfit yesterday... not very flattering!! I don't know if black is on sale but the acid white is.... not buying it though. Yu loves the look and I think she is very into that designer too!!!

Humm..did you get anything? I really love my YSL and Givenchy boots and I have been wore them the past couple month since I bought them. I guess BLACK is always easy to pair. I am waiting for that P.S. heels to come next week.

Thanks for your kind blandishments!! The A. Wang skirt also give my BUTT a great curve too. :P
Oh, I love that outfit. I must admit, after someone showed me your blog, I'm completely obsessed! I love your style and uniqueness! Keep the awesome posts coming!

Julia
hey, Jenny:

I think I am in a phase of buying more shoes than bags too....and almost get carried away from Chanel!!! This season there are so many goodies that I can't just land my eyes on only Chanel...... oh, the buying will never end!!!!

hum..my mom has been carrying that Classic jumbo to the city yesterday and to the lunch today.. I so want to pet the bag!! :P Well, I can only take pic. of my mom and that bag as much as possible when they are visiting here..

OH, how nice you and your mom can trade bags...maybe I should start doing that w/ my mom. ^O^
hi, Julia:
Thanks for your kind blandishments! I checked your blog and followed it. I sure hope that I will be helpful for you in the future when you post any of your style and get inspired w/ each other. :) You are young and style would come its way to you eventually! You must keep it up too!! :)
Thanks so much for the advice. Haha, I'm sucking in my tummy right now. Hmm... it makes me feel like I'm a size 2. Anyway, I'm bribing myself with some Louboutins. I would do anything for a new pair, so hopefully I can lose some weight for them:)

The pictures with your kids are absolutely adorable! You remind me of Victoria Beckham: all fashionista with two or three kids on her arms.

BTW, giving your mom the Chanel was such a nice thing to do! I gave my sister one of my Coach bags, which costs not even a tiny fraction of a Chanel, and now when I see her wearing it, I'm like, "MINE!" Haha.

Aw, Rachel, you're very very welcome :)

Great shoes! And don't buy those sturdy A. Wang booties unless they're on sale! Even here they're already on sale and it's not even sale season yet in Europe! Adore that string dress by the way...

Hope you have a great weekend!
hey, haute girl:

I love your advice since that A. Wang's shoes never really win my heart...my eyes were lying on Burbury's version not the combat one...too much for shoes for A. wang and it would really be a waste of money if not bought on dirt cheap sale price...say $200?...hah... (oh, my friend, Yu probably would beat me up for saying that...haha..)
THanks. I adore that string skirt very much too...give me curve and feeling sexy in it!!!

You too. have a great weekend.

Thanks, Carmen.

Hope you have a great weekend!
Oh, Catherine: yah, it is great that you are saving for something you really like. THe Pologeorgis is so lux and I know they even make for home fur...... aw..must be so comfortable!! :)
Liz said…
Rachel, thank you so much for these pics! I think I want the Coco bag for Christmas from hubby! You look gorgeous, as always!

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
