Trend Irrelevant, Fashion Connected!!

My friend, Elfi Altendofer, always makes gorgeous and bold necklaces! I couldn't wait to get my hands on her newest pieces!! ^^  I had her custom-make two necklaces for one with pink beads on safety pin and the other with yellow spacers. The outcome of the looks are intricate and one-of-a-kind luxury!

I always have my own interpretation of edge, fun and urban twisted look, as you know!

  Yu gave me the white butterfly patterned lace legging which is too tight to fit me but my solutions is have the legs cut-off and trim the edges as they now are my arm/leg warmers and thus the "bottom" becomes my "SHORTS" for this look!!!

Yellow spacers and pink,clear,yellow, blue beads, translucent glass-tube on big safety-pins spike necklace.

Rachel, I adore urban look #1!!!

I hv a question, when ur kids were little, did u wear heels to go out with them? I mean when u were on ur own. I have hard time dressing up with a 5 months old in hand.

Hi, Catherine:
You know, one of my personal philosophy is to "make everything work" as much possible as I can. Yu gifted me those lace leggings and it would hurt me or even her if it didn't really work out on me....so ideas pop in. That's almost how I see everything in life...as I am a pathetic optimist sometimes! :P

Thanks, I love that fuchsia that really flatters my skin tone as well. ^^

No, Chocolaine, I don't wear stiletto while my baby are only 5 month old..I'd say that will probably too much to handle ... I had my second one while Niel (eldest son) is only 4 mon. old so wedge is the best I can walk in with. But as they grow older, like 3 years old, I tell them constantly that please follow me and hold my hands as I can't chase you around... you know, kids nowadays are smart that they know you'd chase them if you just continuously doing it and act panic whenever they run around. They play a fool out of you... :p

Anyway, my point is : relax and wear something "with height" but not necessary in HEELS if you are not comfortable with. This way, give you and your kids a "sign" that eventually you will walk back in heels in no time!! ^^

Ah, enjoy the time with your precious!! Especially he is your first.

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
