Packing For London n' Rome n' Milano n' .....

The Giveaway ends today at 12:00 AM pacific time!


I can't seem to make my mind about whether should I pack this Chanel brown tweed tall boots or Miu Miu studded sandal w/ me for our upcoming Europe trip.  It is family leisure solely and I am not attending any fashion event after all. Besides, I can always find something there, can't I!! Wedge, sneakers and boots are probably more practical! 


^^ What'd you say?!! 


Photobucket
military green peace sign tee, Helmut Lang burgundy suede skinny pants, Marni pre-fall 10' cropped jacket, Chanel 10' tweed clog boots w/ rabbit fur 

Photobucket
et Vous grayish brown rabbit fur vest, Ralph Lauren silk blouse w/ ruffle scarf, brown w/ metallic sheen full skirt (gift from Mom), Chanel 10' tweed rabbit fur clog tall boots w/ leather tie


(I'd hope this et Vous grayish vest and full skirt metallic sheen would offset the TOO BROWN of a grizzle bear look.) ^^


Photobucket
How do I prepare my ensemble?
I sometimes doodle~~ (not so professional but intuitive enough for me to foresee the look!)


Photobucket
I can pair turtle necklace, white knit sweater.... n' a pair of Converse sneakers to complete this look!
(this look: PACK)

Photobucket
Chanel short-sleeve pull over, Chanel camellia black n' white vest, HM shoulder applique' cardigan, Falke leggings, black leg warmers, HM beret w/ beads, HM gloves w/ beads, Miu Miu studded sandal platform. 


Photobucket
White hat + Black turban: keep me warm : pack 

Photobucket
Helmut Lang leather/jersey biker jacket, floral felt fedora ; today only ^^

Photobucket
I probably can either pull UP or Down a little big of leg warmers.

Photobucket
w/ Louis Vuitton mini black monogram clutch 06' (I forgot the gloves n' beret upstairs!)


Photobucket
Wedge lace-up boots: Pack (Curtesy image of Balenciaga City) 


Photobucket
I am going to wear this whole ensemble ONBOARD to London!! ^^
Except for Hermes boots which I'd change to another tall boots for me to beat it up instead!


What else should I pack?
Money, credit card... lol.


What do you think?

Hi R!

Guess what? I doodle too when I think of my ensembles! :D

I don't know about your preference...coz I am thinking you're more after "beauty" than "comfort". :D For me, Europe trips are all about walking and enjoying the atmosphere/ambiance around (unless you have a formal dinner occasion or business meetings). I only bring flats to Europe. Flat long boots will be my choice and a pair of sneakers (if you want to add wedge that's fine as long as you can walk/run in them for the whole day). That's enough I think. Don't waste luggage space packing your heels because you will end up wearing them only for a few hours and can't walk in them. LOL! Besides, it's ITALY!!! THE LAND OF SHOES! Go buy your heels there! :D

Besides, it will mostly be cloudy and rainy in Italy and London. Maybe you should prepare a pair of rain boots instead.

Happy packing!

Cheers,
Mia

I know, Mia, I probably won't wear my HEELS much or AT ALL. I definitely packed my COnverse, wedge lace-up and flat tall boots I bought in 2008 in pairs..(to beat it up further..haha.)

As for heels, maybe ONE pair. I know I am supposed to BUY shoes/something in Italy, but I try my best to make this trip as family vacation like our Paris trip. Buy something when I am sure I won't find them back in USA.

Hopefully we know our way around in Italy... gotta take a travel book w/ me too.

You have a good weekend, honey!!

Wow you got the Chanel boots, we didnt even get them in :-( they were one of my favourties from the collection.

Are you sure they are rabbit fur? As I thought the whole collection was meant to be faux fur, so that is interesting.

I would pack the boots and a pair of ballet flats just in case. It is extreamly cold here in the UK xx

Have fun with the family :)

Hum.. Pearl, maybe I was wrong... maybe they are faux fur. However, it will be the best quality of faux fur as it is so soft and refined that I hardly believe it is faux though.

I would assume these fur/tweed boots is not practical in London when it is always foggy during winter? ^^ Will you buy it if you have those in London?

Yes, I definitely packed boots/... rain boots and sneakers w/ me.

Thanks, Susan.

I'd say we are all set to go tomorrow and hopefully the weather is not too bad other than COLD... rain would spoil the good mood a little bit.... :P

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
