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!!

xoxo Rachel

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me. My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation.... Twilight poster - "eclipse"...haha.. My Gray Swan make-up! I use black eyeliner for the outline of the feather. Bobbie Brown newest eyeshadow : Black velvet and dab w/ The Body Shop silver-gray eyeshadow for more definition. I could do better next time for more details on feather!! I also add a fake eye-lashes w/ white dots for more fun and dramatic!!

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. Shoes: 09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...
