2011 A/W Trend Elements!!

The influx of emails from the shopping sites and new season's trends' alert almost paralyze my mail box. I mean, I almost have to delete at least 50 mails everyday just so I can read the rest of seem-to-be relatively important emails. {No, I certainly don't like seeing even 1 email alert which reminds me I might omit something important. } Well, is there something like "information left-out panic" phrases exist? I probably will be diagnosed with such syndrome if it does exist. lol I have CNN appl. on my iPhone and it gives "big news" alert everyday which makes me feel that I am not being left-out from the world or be such an illiterate myself. 


Anyway, I was talking on the phone with my friend, Isabel, the other day that how she decided to sell some of her old/past season clothes and how to "get inspired" by me!! Well, she said, she should be like me, wearing newly-bought clothes right away in the future in case she even forgets that she had that piece. Then, she should wear every single piece in her closet at least once every season to make full use of them. As far as her plan is concern, it sounds flawless and I am sure she needs a lot of inspiration from me from now on.... lol. 


Here is what I came up with from my past season clothes which def. can walk me into this fall trend fabulously. Hopefully, you might as well get more ideas when recycling or restyling from your wardrobe. 


Element 1: Sheer, or see-through whatever shirt or leggings or skirt.... { make sure your underpants/bras is cute as well.. ^O^}


Element 2: Pendent necklace 


Element 3: Wide leg jeans {this is forever fabulous piece}


Element 4: platform heels.....

I altered this satin green dress and bottom Dolce Vita jegging into ONE-PIECE Jumper!!


{I am very tired of the satin dress and the bottom jegging but couldn't bear the thoughts of feeling pity if I throw them away so I have my seamstress sew them together.}

{Now this one-of-a-kind jumper is very convenient and I don't have to worry about how to tuck the shirt in seamlessly}

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....

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.
