Fall yet? Perfect Shorts Suit.

This is the same moss green shorts I bought last year and still love it so much today. It is a classic look -  cuffed shorts. I don't have many shorts and shorts I do buy or keep are those either have great cuts or pretty colors that are hard to come by.

This link below will take you to my original post and as shown on FabSugar.com

How timeless a piece can be when bought at chain stores?? 

Below are runway looks of shorts suit!

Love how classic Olivia Palermo's shorts suit look. 
A total DO for me!! ^O^

I wore shorts suit two days in a row. .... why? 

Suffice it to say that it is just too hot to wear anything else!!!  2nd, too cold to NOT wearing a cover-up in the air-conditioning room such as doing grocery shopping at supermarkets. 3rd, I found this HM draped jacket is almost exactly the same shade as Zara's shorts. So I think they are a meant-to- be, why not just throw them together!! ^^

Now, onto my new Chanel purchases. Nothing fancy.... 
  1. Chanel Duo tweed coral blush
  2. 2010 fall Paradoxal nail polish (kinda purple/brown/taupe all mixed with)

The blush is actually very sheer and subtle. It also can work as high-lighter. 

Side story: There laid an anonymous egg on my vanity desk that my kids found in our back yard.  From its size, I think it is a bird's egg.  I don't know what to do w/ it ..... But one thing for sure is that the egg won't be hatched under my big butt!! lol

Chanel due tweed blush in coral.... very subtle, isn't it.

MAC Frosty. ... a very true ORANGE.
(Pardon my freckles on the nose. ^^)

Ah, see how many blushes I had...... Can't deny it that I love blushes.... 
People always comment that I have a great glow on my skin and I guess I have thank for those little helpers in my life!!! ^^

Got blush?!!

This is oficcilay the biggest blush collection I've ever seen!!!! lol I only own one - a Chanel blush that fits my skin tone perfectly, so once I've found this perfect blush I never tried anything else. I just hope once it's finished they still have this color in stock lol

And I really like your shorts ensemble, such beautiful taupe colors too! And another one I loved is the one by A. Wang in tourqoise - now that's somethign you'd see me sporting!
I really love shorts...so stylish of course!

Hi Litlstrawberry, the stores should pay you royalty.
Wow! Love your classy shorts....glad I'm not driving see you in these, or my car will be having an affair with the back of a bus.
Love your choices.....

Again, admiring your well taken pics here, with your traffic stopper looks, you are not a woman, you are an essence.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.

I guess shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.

One thing I do know, the quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.

You have fun, stay beautiful and keep a song in your heart, Lee.
Huh? Julia, only one shade? How could that be!!! Girl, you need to go out and find another shade for yourself. I mean there are tones of colors and I am 100000000% sure you are going to find another shade that compliments your skin equally or exceedingly from the blush you had right now. :P

Ok, I guess you can you stick w/ whatever you like. ^^

yeah, I like the bright color of A. Wang's shorts suit as well. And that's the color I had for my drapy shorts. I wish I can find a jacket in that same shade.

YOu will look drop dead gorgeous in that turquoise shorts suit!! ^O^
yes, Janet, I wish we have more well-designed shorts here...they are really hard to come by.
hey, Uncle Lee:

how are you doing today?

THanks for your HUGE compliments and you sure put on a big grin on my face. ^^
P.S.: Yepp - It's a Marni. This is a cut out version but I have a pair of Chanel - it has a simple/classy shade. :)

wow now that's a blush collection! your new chanel one looks so pretty and very natural. I have been dying to get the new nail polish so i'm ordering it so I have it at home when I get there hehehe. I'll be leaving in about 2weeks.
As usual you look fabulous and your little Ilona is as cute as ever.
hah..yes, the blushes. I probably don't have that many eye shadows compare to most gals...since I don't use them everyday. ..but I apply blushes everyday so it is a must for me.

Yeah, two weeks. it must be hot there and most of my friends are coming back starting from this week!! ^^ Hope you got what you need in Taiwan and more when you are back here. I mean the NEW FALL COLLECTION.....haha. Ah, that's exciting!! ^O^

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
