The Arrival Day of Taipei (Day 1)!

6/3/2010
Departure from SFO at 1:35 AM

The exciting moment before both of Abby and Ilona knocked themselves out!!!

I am surprised that my face didn't turn out sticky and smudge; Instead, the air is fresher and temperature is cooler after the rain of last week. I can wear my J Brand twill jeans all day along and not sweat in it!!^^

Arrival at Taipei 6:10 AM

I never had jet leg, not even when I was a flight attendant. We have an old saying: Work at sunrise and sleep at sunset!! Which simply means let our body follows the nature of yin yang.

What's great about living at tropical countries...your skin will never have a dull moment!! ...the moist up in the air!! ^^

I left two girls to my Dad and paid a visit on Eslite Bookstore alone! Yes, it feels great to be alone, to be single (not literally) and to be able to sip a cup of coffee in a city where I grow up once again!!

They are cute book covers.

Now, no one would know what I am reading at! ^^

1. Top:

Free People spagaitti straps cam. in pink flower prints
J Crew cardigan w/ silk pockets

2. Bottom: J Brand twill cropped jeans

3. Shose: Sam Edelman gladiator flat sandal

4. Accessory: PS1 yellow / lilith vinyl shopping bag

You don't think I'd be gone for long the first day at Taipei. Only 2 hrs. recharge of myself, I am back to my girls!!

It rains a little but that doesn't affect our mood of walking around the city!

Love in Taipei!!
xoxo Rachel

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top: Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3.
