Red + Purple, a Suit -for a Good Fortune!!

I really like this shade of RED.... and surprisingly, this new acquisition of HM high waist fold-over pants has an identical red as my old ruffle-collar coat. They are meant-to-be!!

I am still quite not used to wearing hairband...it turns out I pull it down on my neck and work it into a necklace. ^O^

What happened later on in the afternoon?
My friend saw me pull it back on to my head and asked..."it worked both way????" (she did't see me wearing as a hairband at the first place.)
haha......... I said, "no, it actually is a hairband but I am tired of adjusting it all the time so I pull it down on my neck. :P

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!! Voila~ my Gray Swan .... w/ Alaia gold lace-up heels! ^^ A full house of ...

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.
