Runway to Real-Way-- From Reed Krakoff Look to my Vintage Remix!!

Yesterday when I waited my kids' piano lessons at Los Gatoes, I dropped by Benefit beauty stores to check out this Magic Ink Jet Black Liquid Eyeliner!! 


I read Anh's blog about how amazingly easy when applying this liquid eyeliner. I am like her-- While she loves her MAC eyeliner for years, I used to be happy w/ Chanel's automatic liquid eyeliner in black as well.  The applicator on Chanel won't clog and you just have to twist the tube to let more black ink flowing out more if you needed. However, I found that sometimes there is almost a drop-full of black liquid coming out from the TIP when I twisted it too many times??? (or should I be more patient and twist it ONCE instead.....I don't know). But hey, who has the whole morning to do make-ups right?!!

Today w/ Benefit eyeliner......let's see this evening ^^


You know, I have to take my words back saying that Ilona is doing great at school ...but the truth is that she cried pretty hard and loud these past couple days, except the first day!! Well, I guess she suddenly realized that the school is for REAL and she needs to be apart from ME!! :( So today I stayed in the classroom w/ her for 10 mins even though she is still crying for the fear of me leaving next moment which I did, but at least I want her know that I am a very determined mom so she can learn quickly adept herself in every situation when she grows up.

I had this faux leather wrap skirt for thousand years (again, it seems I can open a vintage shop. :P) which I bought at Italy. 
I use a safety pin to secure that orange wrap skirt and make a peek-a-poo layer there!

I had two skirts on today. You know, I have done two pants so why not two skirts, right?!! lol Besides, I always want to try something fun and challenge.

Liquid eyeliners look so good, but somehow I've never mastered the art of applying it myself... But oh well, I don't use eyeliner often so I guess I'm okay with my Dior eye pencil for now.

And I love this wrap skirt on you! Interestign idea wearign two wrap skirts at the same time too, not everyone can pull the look off, but it looks good on you! Well done :)
Love that wrap skirt, darling!

really? Julia, you never tried liquid eyeliner? Man, you really should.... you know, well, your eyes are pretty and pretty big already so I am sure that liquid eyeliner will only make your eyes even POP and sexy and mysterious...heh.. you should give it a try!!! ^^

oH, right, the skrit, I can't believe that I had that skirt since college and now it really is a time to BRING it ON. haha..

Have a good weekend!!
Hey, Janet, thanks.
One of the piece that I kept forever until the faux leather PEELING OFF any time. haha..

So is the new liner better than Chanel? Very cool how you have such a similar skirt in your closet that looks right off the runway. That makes it harder to part with things right? You never know when it will come back in style ;)
Hi R, love your layered long skirt with an orange peek-a-boo layer inside. I think only very slim people like you can pull off such a look...:D

Anyway, it's such a cooincidence that you talk about Reed Krakoff here. Coz when I was having my hair permed last Thursday, I read about Reed Krakoff and I was really drawn to his collection. I esp. love the leather long coats....in fact most of the coats are unbelievably beautiful! :P I like how he uses the neutral colors such as brown, black, gray, olive/green, and blue together with so much ease. He's going to have an online store next week...yay! :P

Enjoy your weekend!

Cheers,
Mia

P.S. My taipei trip is this coming Friday. Hope my flu will go away or else I can't eat anything in Taipei! Grrrr! Miss the street food there! LOL!

Thanks for the mention!! So sweet! How did the liner work for you? Hope you like it as much as I do!
Thanks, Anh, I love it for its rich and consistent black liquid look. I think I might just toss away my Chanel ones. :P But once a while I'd like to use pencil eyeliner for a softer look.... those eyeliner makes the whole looks so "precise" and pencil eyeliner soften the look a bit for a casual look!!

Thanks, Nana. ^^ You are so kind!!

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
