Maxi or Full skirt...Layer them!

I layer 2011 Vince Solid Knit Dress on top of past season Rick Owen Lilies baby blue green mock neck maxi dress today!! I find it almost sluggish without layering on something or styled w/ some other accessories.

Kenneth Cole wide asymmetric bet, Rick owen dress, Vince dress, 10' Pierre Hardy two tone sandal platform heels, Givenchy Tinhan studded hobo.

I always tend to dig out my forever pieces in my closet during this time of the year and basically, they are maxi dresses, turtlenecks, tanks and leather jackets. And I found this transitioning season before spring comes is the best time to wear your not-so-favored-clothes.

Not ready for the spring yet!!

The authentic Chloe boots.

Ah, want to share this MOCK shoes from Dillards that my friend, Pei, found on line. They all loved Chloe ones but this one looks 99.5% identical for only $99.99.

Have a soothing evening!(^_−)−☆

xoxo Rachel

Thank you all! I think sometimes cover-up clothes almost looks sexier than bare all clothes ;)!!

About the shoes, I have double standards for shoes and bags..... Shoes can have "identical" w/ authentic ones but bags definitely have to be real authentic from the designer... No fake!

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me. My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation.... Twilight poster - "eclipse"...haha.. My Gray Swan make-up! I use black eyeliner for the outline of the feather. Bobbie Brown newest eyeshadow : Black velvet and dab w/ The Body Shop silver-gray eyeshadow for more definition. I could do better next time for more details on feather!! I also add a fake eye-lashes w/ white dots for more fun and dramatic!!

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top: Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3.
