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.

Count my blessing and you should do it too. ^_^

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!!

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. Shoes:  09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...
