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

ThanksGiving Holidays w/ Yu's Family!! (to be finished later)

Day 1 (11/26/09) Get up at 5:30 AM and meet up w/ Yu's family at 6:00 AM. I brought total 3 dress w/ me. I just don't want the hassle of paring my clothes this trip. Kids are all so excited and I can't believe they would be so awake that early. You know, they always make so loud noise in the car and I wish we had those sound-proof glass in between front seats and the back seats!!! ha~ Finally we got LA around 12:30 PM. This 85ºC bakery Cafe has the most delicious bread/bakery in Cal. (See the people lined up there. We were there 3 days and the place is always packed.) DH also likes their pearl milk tea!! Dinner at May Garden! (I think this restaurant is nice but not that extraordinary on setting and the whole environment.) Very refreshing tomatoes salad! This butter saute lobster dish is way too expensive IMO, even though they made noodles for an extra dish after you almost done w/ the lobster! Not bad, but I'd think they...
