Not Another Vintage Inspired Blouse!!

You must have seen this vintage inspired blouse look over and over again. Whether it be on the blog-sphere, on the street or even on 2010 A/W runway show, it indeed is one of the most "practical" trend for this fall/winter. (Yes, if you posses another trendy piece, such as shearling coat or big cape, you pretty much be covered through this winter.)

I am not going to wear it as "the ordinary" way. Meaning, no wide-leg jeans nor wide-leg pants, and even not w/ jeans whatsoever!! But I didn't say that I'd never wear the blouse w/ jeans or wide leg pants at all. It is just that there is no best apropos way of wearing it. As long as you show the whole look w/ some kind of nostalgically aesthetic pleasure.

MY ODJ

1. Top:
Ralph Lauren Jolene Silk Tie-neck blouse (Their entire site are having 25% off and then they'd donate 10% to Pink Pony Fond.)
Some brand of denim vest (Ah, does this look has always somehow associated w/ jeans in USA? Cultural influences? lol)

2. Bottom:
HM high waist cropped pants

3. Accessory:
some brand white lace belt
Hermes Horn necklace w/ silver hook
Chanel 10A Rouge/orange 226 reissue (I think 226 size is more appropriate to be a clutch to me.)

4. Shoes:
Alexander Wang Abbey gray sandal heels (just to break up the usual pumps, or boots look w/ the blouse. ^^)

Who knows this $49.50 HM pants almost becomes my another daily obsession!!

I love this Ralph Lauren silk blouse a lot .. for 1) it is not ivory nor pale pink...yet a sophisticated brownish color 2) the scarf is detach-able 3) it flatters my hair color!!

Small details such as cuff link alike button

fold-over cuff w/ a bit puffy sleeves

Kids' Piano lessons ~~ finished!!

I looked even more happier than my kids as their class dismissed... Oh, you don't know how much pressure for me to make sure their "after-practice" performance is presentable every week to the teacher. *sigh*.........

This RL blouse comes w/ camisole. You can take off the ruffle scarf and unbutton couple buttons for a laid-back look.

Are you ready for this Fall/Winter?

Have fun deciding your LOOK!!

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

Birthday Gift from My Dearest Darling!! Oh, Hermes!!

Oh, Hermes!! Oh, my love!! I mean both my DH and Hermes!! :P My SA insists me saying nothing about this beauty on the website. And I promised her!! The truth is the picture is worth more than a thousand words, let me share my ultimate excitement silently!! A little extra business for my SA goes a long way for our relationship!! Hermes white leather on golden studded cuff can go w/ my Chanel matte white reissue 227 That's my 09 multicolored hot air balloon print Hermes scarf The cuff can also go w/ my 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !!! I almost faint when I received it!! I believe every rookie of Hermes feels the same as I do!! hahah.... I think I catch the color very true! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !
