Maniacal Fashioinista....

Would you sleep with a fashion magazines or picture of a thing or a person you yearned for under your pillow?

No?

Never?

Well, just curious. I don't think I am ever such a maniac, neither.

A fellow reader asked me if I could do a "ORANGE" look for her as she has an orange sheath and would like to get some inspiration. Well, I don't own any orange dress but I hope this so orang-y Vince cropped top would help. ^O^ You know, such as you can pair a suede brown or wheat pump with orange sheath dress ...... ... to play with the colors.

Since today kids and I had a plan to visit SF Zoo, so I wore along this whole look on me to the city. I'd say my look is inspired from 60's ... the "mini", can you tell? And of course I brought along a pair of flip flops with me to switch off my Prada gold stripy wooden sandals while strutting in the zoo. lol. {yeah, you know, switch shoes in the zoo just for the sake of taking photos is pretty crazy, huh, don't you think? }

I think the layering of orange and brown colors made this look even more sophisticated.

{Here is a look with the trendy hot pink pencil skirt I did way back.}

{pardon Ilona, she is going through a stage that she couldn't stop doing faces... grr....}

My ODJ

1. Top:
Ralph Lauren brown silk top with ruffle scarf

Summer is most moms' nightmare.... there couldn't be more activities to entertain/educate kids during summer. lol

My other half maniacal fashionista, Yu. and her crazy bright color day!!!

I am counting days while kids will begin their summer camp next week. ^^

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

Oh, Hermes!! Oh, my love!! I mean both my DH and Hermes!! :P My SA insists me saying nothing about this beauty on the website. And I promised her!! The truth is the picture is worth more than a thousand words, let me share my ultimate excitement silently!! A little extra business for my SA goes a long way for our relationship!! Hermes white leather on golden studded cuff can go w/ my Chanel matte white reissue 227 That's my 09 multicolored hot air balloon print Hermes scarf The cuff can also go w/ my 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !!! I almost faint when I received it!! I believe every rookie of Hermes feels the same as I do!! hahah.... I think I catch the color very true! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !

Make It Work!! Isn't that the State of The Art For Fashion Trend!!!

Yes, I would think if you flip through most runway fashion magazines, you would be inspired w/ awe. WHY? Cause' every piece seems work out together just fine...oh, not just fine, it is nearly fabulous looking......on models. :P People constantly ask me if that's ok to wear socks w/ peeptoe heels, mary-jane, sandal heels......etc. and as a matter of fact, I LOVE that style ever since I had memory. ^O^ The only challenge is what kind of socks you choose to go w/ it!! Sheer metallic socks w/ sandal heels. Burberry Possum plays a lot socks w/ sandals platform since last spring. Isn't the lace knee wraps fun!! Christopher Kane's S/S 10 collection uses lots of gingham patterns. Do you think you can still find your grand mom table clothes or old dress to update its look a bit!!? Nothing not to love about those light fabric... so romantic. Louis Vuitton (RIGHT) plays w/ such intensive patterns n' different cuttings...
