Yesterday Irene's family and we ventured to Oakland and Berkeley for Niel and Heidi's art teachers' Bay Area Talented Artists Opening Ceremony at Berkeley Are Center. Since I have never been to Oakland so it is quite exciting to me as well. ^^
There are so many cute shops, funky shops and cheap shops for clothes, furnitures, kitchen ware....

I like your Givenchy sequins tank w/ veil! Is it like a 2-in-1 piece with the outer veil attached to the sequin tank? Is this a past season or current season style? Where did you buy it from? Any other colors? Hahahaha..it's dangerous when I ask so many questions..:P
Ooh..your ice-cream looks very delicious! Would love to visit SF next year. :D
Have a great week ahead!
Cheers,
Mia
Oh my daughter is not going to school yet she's turning 2 next month so I will keep her at home little longer but my son is going to be in preschool one more year before he goes to Kinder! They sure grow up fast. Look at Ilona she's a big girl now!!
i follow your blog now; feel free to check out my site and follow me too.

i bought that Givenchy TANK at Barney's like a MONTH ago. The sequins is SEWED on the tank so they are together but separated.
You have a great weekend too. ^^
I think I trim my hair A LOT..in order to keep the look well-groomed. haha.. But yes, it does look shorter each time I had picture taken...but hopefully it will grow to the length I want in the not too long future. @@
So your boy and girl are very close in their age too..well, they are like 2 years apart, right!? The 2 years old girl is still like "baby"... compare to my Ilona. I am glad she is 3 now and she understands almost everything that easier to bargain w/ her at this age. :P
