Friendship and Fashion!

My daughter's classmates have been asking so many times about play-dates but it is seems not likely to arrange it during the weekdays! The weekend and birthday parties are the only chance to let our kids socialize w/ their school buddies. 


While kids slowly establish their little friendship w/ their school buddies, friends from parent's circles, we moms also need to manage and expand our own social lives. However, it is so hard to synchronize our moms' free time during the week, even though kids all go to school.  We still need to drive them in between extra-curriculum activities after school, let alone we all have our own set of schedules/rules/routines/work-out.... ^^ 


There must be millions birthday stars in January since there are at least 6 big and little friends of mine included. And we decided to do a little breakfast birthday celebration for them. 


Wherever there is women, there is fashion and beauty talk!!! ^^

Funny thing is that we start talking about lip colors and everyone begins to pull out their secret beauty weapons from cosmetic bags. lol
(The winner? Cathy!! 
She got the most NUDE colors from Tom Ford, YSL, LORAC, and Cle de paux!)

For a moment there, I had a deja vous.(Cathy and I both bought this mustard/gray cape coats.) You know what's so odd in this middle picture of her.... she layered two same yellow-colored long-tee and turtle-neck to keep her warm~~ my, genius. haha...


(far-right, Lorac lip gloss... looks like a nail polish and behind it is Tom Ford lipstick w/ white/gold square case $45 !)

I haven't seen Pei carry her 08' Chanel metallic silver reissue for a very long time~~
(Far-right) Yu is very eagerly to know if the nude and orange lip color looks great on her. ^^

Here is the picture I found for Ann since she is kinda of looking for my
Barton Perreira cat-eye sunglasses (worn on Michelle Trachtenberg)

I apply YSL nude + make-up-forever orange (intensive) lip color + a dab of make-up-forever orange lip gloss! 




I finally jogged down my favorite looks for this 2011 spring/summer runway looks...... other than those already well-known big brand-name looks...you know what I am talking about!! ^O^

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
