Bunch of Stuff~~ LBD, and a CopyCat!!


Last Friday, I was going through my daughters' picture and amazed how resemble two sisters can be at certain age.  In retrospect, I forgot how does Abby look when she is at 2-year-old and those family pictures always reminds me to revel in the luxury of being w/ them as long as I can. :)

As far as the color is concerned, I have at least 7 LBD if not strictly excludes black sheath, cocktail dress and my DVF black shirt dress in my closet. I think they do come handy when I am tired of pairing and following the current trend! ^O^

I LOVE those Missoni espadrilles, I was actually at a store looking at them over the weekend. They're such a nice warm colour that is super nice for the summer.
Also, your daughters, Ilona and Abby do look a lot alike! I wonder if they'll grow up looking alike too!
hi, ls:

really? Which store you saw them? I found another color combi. on line of this espadrilles too.....even warmer colors than mine. SO I am not sure if they do come in two different colors shades? mine is very pale IRL. They are my first pair ... I had another pair bought from a Vintage shop for $30! ^O^

No, Ilona and Abby will not be this much alike since they already look so different now!! :)

i just got a black herve leger dress thinking i might have too many black dresses, now after reading this entry, i felt a lot better about my purchase. they are not the same if you pair them with different jackets :)
The first pic is toooo adoable! :)

I saw them at Holt Renfrew (Canadian version of Saks) and also at Davids, and the ones that i saw were a warm yellow/orange/brown combination.
Oooooh your vintage ones sound like such a deal! what do the vintage ones look like?

Oh your little girls are such sweethearts! And I really like the espadrilles. I too have too many LBD's, I don't know but when it comes to going out dresses I gravitate towards black.
LBDs are indeed handy, I especially love the one in your last picture - so classy! And I agree, it's so funny how your daughters look totally identical in these pics, wow! :)

Wow, you're right that Ilona and Abby looks identical in their baby photos! Funny how kids change so much as they grow older. Do you think it's more 先天 or 後天 that they change like that... Do they have similar personalities?

Anyway, I went to Ted Baker yesterday to check out that stripped dress but they ran out of my size. Plus, I think the strong shoulders will make me look too 壯 so the search continues. LOL.

I have tons of LBD but I've been weeding them down to a few classic and timeless ones. Sometimes it's so hard to decide b/c each has a sentimental value. So how do you clean your closet every season?
ha, MadsAboutYou, I guess black anything goes very well w/ a lot of outfit and it is the easiest way to "highlight" a person's style too!! Whenever I saw a picture of some great outfit...it tends to be "black" something in that outfit..hum... interesting!!
Wow, Catherine: you should show us your HL dress when you wear it...on FB. :) It never occurs to me that I should get a HL dress ... but their dresses are the best body hugging and shape sculpturing if you want to look sexy!! :) eh!?
yes, Ls, I think this Mission espadrilles comes in two different tones then!!! Thanks.
Betsy, did you try that dress at all??? Cause' you know, what I know and aware is if you don't have a "straight" shoulder, it is best to avoid a shoulder detail like that OR a "shoulder patch" will do the trick. So maybe your worrying too much about your shoulder being too wide/strong, I remember it has that knot details but not a patch underneath....or even it does, take them off and try size up or down and see if it works.

I am really curious if you did try it on or not!!!! ^O^
hah..Julia: yes, they are sisters and almost like twins when they are at age of 2. :) They don't look alike now however!!

How is your contest going...i read how does they count the points and leave a comment after adding you as friends. I hope you do win!!! :)

sexy shoes! I love espadrilles. And nice to see that the Chanel tattoo does last a while huh?
your daughters are soooo cute. It's incredible how fast kids grow. That's why I try to cherish all these moments with my little ones for as long as possible.
You don't think your daughters will keep changing? Maybe when they are adults they will look alike again?

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
