Happy 4th Birthday, Ilona and So-Long my friends in Taiwan~~

I guess until next year, I won't be able to see many of my friends. One of them is moving to New Jersey and the other one is moving to Vancouver in Canada!! You meet new friends, and you miss old friends along the course and that's life, isn't it!!?

CAFFE' MIO costumed-made this Cinderella Cartoon theme cake for Ilona. 

{Big thanks to my friend, Fiona, who tells me this wonderful cafe shop in Taipei. And they made this theme cake requested by my daughter, Ilona, possible and successful!! Another thanks goes to Mandy who reserved Grant Hotel for us so my friends can all gather there and celebrate Ilona's birthday with us. I love you, all my friends. }

There are 4 glass heels represents Ilona's 4-year-old birthday!

Gotta love the punctilious details of this Cinderella theme cake. 

{I actually went back and forth to the bakery for this cake 3 times just to make sure the theme will be well-interpreted before my Korea trip. } ^O^

My trophy this Asia trip { After scoring Hermes' Orange CDC at Korea airport and Chanel garden tweed bag in Taipei, I think I can pack and go HOME... }

Speaking of being punctilious, I know that I like to criticize about everything in general. However, I think I am merely being a punctilious person that I set a higher standard to myself and in life.  On the other hand, friends all know that I do give positive and constructive suggestions when it comes to friends asking me for advice.

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

Birthday Gift from My Dearest Darling!! Oh, Hermes!!
