Kids are all so nosy....they are probably suffered from being bored (waiting for the gallery to be open) and jet lag.....so do I.

I really adore the tail of this AllSaints leather jacket.... so much of "Shakespeare looking"!


Photobucket
It is not even 9 AM when we arrived British Museum that I decided to read Fairy story to Niel and Abby whilst we wait for the gallery open at 10 AM. 


You know, we only in the British Museum for hour and half, kids became tired and bored that we decided to ditch out touring! :P


Photobucket
This is then what happened around 2:30 PM that everyone seems to be defeated by jet lag. We went home for an hour nap after lunch.~~ I said, only an hour!! ^O^


Photobucket
Outside the natural history museum. 
We almost walked every corner in London... ^O^

They even have Melissa shoes for children available.

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!!

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!
