Statement Necklace!!

I found this opulent bib necklace at Anthropologie last weekend and I love it at the first sight....for both its price $69.95 and the amazing craft work in India.

1. Top: 
some purple tonic w/ asymmetrical pockets at two sides


2. Bottom:
some jean leggings
When I say "some" brand means they are bought from street vendor, or whole sale w/ dirt cheap price. 
3. Accessory:

  1. Elfi Altendorfer's designer smoke/purple Swarovski earrings
  2. Bib statement necklace
  3. Proenza Shouler yellow PS1 clutch
  4. Yellow scarf as shrug bought at Anthropologie for $19.95
  5. BCBG taupe studded belt 

4. Shoes:
Anne Valeria Hash taupe/pink brogues

Yellow + purple = super feminine!

I don't think you would categorize him as a minimalist just because he plays abundantly on different textile, and exhibits well-adepted cuts through his collection.

I can only say.. ... he knows women! xoxo

Below is a message I received this morning through FB.  I felt I am much flattered from head to toe. (Ah, I am so shallow you must think that of me. :P) Anyhow, I think once a while it would be great to listen to some GUYS opinion about fashion, or even tidiest bit of their point of view just about anything, isn't it!!!


Hi Rachel,
i read your fashion blog about cut-out leggings and thought it was great. You are an inspiration: an amazing and beautiful mom who has time for both her kids and the aesthetic side of life too! I totally adore your Chanel clutch, btw!
Anyhow, just wanted to say hi, and that you look fantastic in your home-made cut-out leggings!
ciao, Brian    

Girls, I can't stress enough that take great care of yourself in any way you can!
xoxo Rachel

Hi R! I love your necklace! It's so gigantic! LOL! But love the dramatic look of it. Nice choice! Do they still have any left in the store?

Anyway, I also love purple and yellow combination. Or purple and lime green...:D In fact, these are my upcoming birkin color combo choice for next year.....hehehehehe! They are really lovely together. Great outfit!

BTW, I've started to update my blog...will post my new shoe loot soon! We're twins in some of them....teehee!

Have a nice week ahead!

Cheers,
Mia

P.S. BTW, have you ever thought of being a stylist as a profession? I mean your kids are growing up and it's nice to have a career that you love. Think about it...:D

Love this bold necklace on you and it goes well with your purple tunic. I actually saw this cute one at Anthropologie the other day and not sure how to pair it with my outfits - but you did it! Welcome back (a belated greeting)^^

Hi, Mia:

Hope you get to enjoy your BIRKIN soon! ^^ I am sure it will look stunning..just by thinking of those colors!!!!

Oh, right, I'd love to see what shoes you bought in Pairs as Isabel bought one pair of shoes... (very cheap n' little brand there) but it seems her friend loves very much! ( i haven't seen them.)

hah..right, I should start thinking of doing something of my dream..even I don't go into fashion industry, I want to take classes about merchandising or just French class to kill time when this fall they are all gone to school during the day!! ^^

Wow, so Amelie, you were looking at that necklace? You know, just because the price is right, I couldn't resist it. I was kind afraid of asking SA to pull it out from the display box as they normally a bit more expensive.... but thank GOD, not this one!! ^^

Thanks. We all adjust back well and start my NORMAL life again...:P

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
