Inimitable Style!

Everyone agrees that style needed an infusion of personality.  


I am an optimist so I dress colors and I talk loud in an upbeat tone. But my theory is even if you don't dress colors as much as I do, you should quickly venture out and start buying colorful clothes..... just to give yourself something to challenge. You will probably notice you like bright colors just as much as you like black and white. ^^ Dress in colors doesn't necessarily mean you are trying to ingratiate yourself w/ other people but more of opening yourself up and be gratitude!! 


I recently received couple fellow readers' emails from Singapore. I am so happy as they told me that they start noticing the little magic on their daily looks simply by working accessories into their ensembles!! 


This morning, I received a package sent from my dearest friend, Isabel, who lives in Orange County, LA. It is a clutch from ZARA special collection. Isabel bought herself Blue while she got me Green clutch instead. Yes, we'd love the same things but we are totally in different "tones" in terms of styles and colors.

Yellow is so versatile that it is not only can be paired with "Blue" but also "Green" to amplify their contrasting beauty.

I was going to pair it with vintage-find turquoise leather/suede sheath but they might be too close of colors from each other.

My lovely friend, Isabel, carries her electricity blue Zara clutch, and pairs Marni olive green flatform.

Nice color blocking R! Your Zara clutch I think is inspired by Celine's "Clasp Bag". So similar! What a great find! :D Anyway, I like the green color, although for me, I would have used a gray/cream/hot pink/lime green clutch bag instead. :) Taipei does have a lot of treasures in the small boutiques. Wanna visit there again at the end of this year. Hehe! Have a great week ahead!

This clutch is one of my favorite items in Zara at the moment!

You look amazing and radiant! Bright colors match your vibrant personality!
Such an unusual look, love the richness and deepness of the colors here! And your make up too :)
Hi, Mia, yes, Bingo!! Isabel and I were talking how not to spend a fortune on Celine clutch but just get a look-alike. ^^
Like wise, hope you have a colorful week too.

Hi, Lily, I love your blog...but the thing is the ad. :P I'd love to leave a comment if I do't have to wait for the ad to finish.....haha.... maybe next time I should be more patient.

And yes, you look lovely in the recycling peasant blouse. It is very flirty on you, dear.

Wow! That Zara clutch is a steal. Love the electric blue version too.

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
