Still Winter ??!! ~~~

Pei shared this pic. w/ me cause' she liked the contrast of white peep-toe booties against black ties.
Except the booties, the whole look kinda reminds me a "sheep" though!! :P

I was also eyeing on those cut-out/peep-toe white booties since last spring but never occurred to me that I'd actually find a gorgeous pair unintentionally.



 I picked a pair socks of mine which has orange color around the toe n' green in the calves to play up more fun/warm color w/ my ensemble.

Here is a narrative of this New Designer: Laurence Dacade
Inspired by David Bowie’s erotic androgyny, the French designer—also part of the creative team behind Chanel’s shoes, has created a range of sheer zipback boots, Verner Panton–esque lace-ups, and pointy patent wing tips. (Elle.com)

My ODJ. 
1. Top: 
Y-3 quarter-sleeves gray turtle-neck
RUGBY herringbone brown wool jacket 
2. Bottom: Y-3 cropped pants w/ over-sized pockets at sides
3. Accessory: 
Embossed croc skin two tones belt

Now w/ that strap, I made my ancient perle vernis tote the most practical than ever!!! :)

On Monday, we girls hanged out together again n' chat about what are we going to do on Valentine's day and girl's night out afterward. unexceptionally, we talked about IT bags, shoes ..... .... then couple of us also talk about a "BAN" on luxury spending or a big "Saving" - a better put, that we'd spend wisely this year.  ^O^ 

..... Well, chatting is just a random gesture of our lips n' tongue!! ....

Here I share Yu's style w/ you. There are so many intriguing details on her outfit that day.
She made that two pom poms out of hermes' ribbon to dress up her A. Wang bag!!



H&M croset top, tartan gray shirt w/ ribbon trim, Marc by Marc Jacobs zipper pulls necklace!


A. Wang Coco duffel bag, Christian Louboutin 08' booties.



Moi!!

Rachel - You girls look absolutely fabulous! I notice you guys like many of the same pieces, i.e. H&M corset top, H&M embellished taupe shirt, Alex Wang bag... but you each exert your own interpretation to it, which is quite refreshing to observe. For this post, I have to say Yu's ensemble is stealing my <3! I love that ribbon-detailed MJ shirt along w/ her zipper necklace. It's quite cool that she used the Hermes ribbons to make those pompoms. I've seen an entire thread on tPF teach ppl how to do it, but I haven't tried it myself. It adds an unique look to the AW bag.

So what are you plans for Valentine's day? It's right on the same day with CNY day so I think we are stuck with spending it with inlaws. :P So I might ask DH to celebrate early or something.
Betsy:
How are you? DOne your online traffic school?

yes, I think we hang out together too often. :) Yu, pei, Cathy, Ann, Isabel and I probably talk or meet at least once a week. Once one of us find something, we spread out the words.....geez, which is also bad that I can't resist good deal or pretty stuff.... (I think when you say I am sick, you also mean my buying addiction...hahaha...) Anyway, some self-control here....... .... Oh, Yu's shirt if from H&M not MMJ (only the necklace) and so we joked that we should shop at H&M more often to score really great designed stuff!!! hehe..

I think Yu hanged out in H forum quite often than I do...as I don't at all now. Maybe that's where she learns how to do that pompoms.

I have V. party this Sat. at my house along w/ other 4 couples w/ a romantic swiss cheese fondue party. (hopefully it is romantic enough...hah...) Next week, I have a girl's spa meet in SF city w/ Renee n' dinner. Then the following week, we 4 girls will have a girls night out in SF city...well, sure this month is a whole month Valentine's celebration for us!!!!! :)

DO you have some activity in mind w/ your DH?

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 !
