Haha about stealing the Ghost Chair - I wanted to do the same last time I visited HK IFC mall. They have them for mommy in the nursing/change room inside the Ladies washroom! Plus, they decorate the whole room with mirror & white granite! So, did you wake up early & line up this morning?! =D

Hey Rachel!

So much fun following your adventures in Italy so thanks for updating so often. Are you kinda glad that you didn't bring your Chanel shearling boots now that you found these awesome Ethnic boots to wear in the rainy weather?

Your shorts/tights/blazer look has been a tres chic way of traveling so far. I'm super impressed with how well your family is doing with site-seeing, shopping, and just absorbing the beauty of Italy.

The Lanvin for H&M craze is on high gear here. I've been reading about lots of crazy stories women go thru to get to their desired pieces. Hopefully, it's more tame in Firenze!

I remember loving the shopping and the vibe of Florence so much. Enjoy, be safe, and have fun!
hey, girls:

We are having so much fun in Italy. First, I admit Florence is much fun than Rome....in fashion aspect. But Vanticano is one of the must see in the world. Either one can't miss.... next time, we should leave kids at home and visit Vernice alone.

I want to listen more about HM crazy store...haha.. I heard Yu got a lot since she bought herself.....tons of stuff which I can't understand WHY~!? :P Anyway, I would say the media and people are crazy and peep pressure is another fact push those blindness craze to the top. ha ha..

You girls have a great Thanksgiving!!

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!
