Are you GREEN enough?

So, are you green enough? No, I am not talking about ecology nor Permaculture subjects here.

Just when I have been in the doldrums after picking kids up from their day-camps since noon, Pei and Cathy came over to my house to cheer me up in the afternoon. {I must be dehydrated because of the scorching sun...}

Coincidently, Pei showed me a shirt she bought from Zara and I happen to pre-order the same colored shirt in June and just received couple days ago from Florence. Things like this isn't a diurnal occurrence so we both are very excited about how we could have the insight of (perhaps) what's next big color in fall!!! {Must be the reason that we are close friends and we have similar brain waves........ } ^O^

Ooh la la ~~~

(moi)

Alaia red laser-cut tote 11' {Yeah~~ my perfect Napa get-away bag next weekend!!}, Haider Ackermann oversized satin shirt 11' f/w, momo's March sun-beam bracelet

(son)

Celine "BOX" bag in Brown 11', Zara shirt 11', J crew accessories

Back to my business....

My ODJ

I am very happy about the alternation of a thrift find - Dior blouse since 2008. It is now one shouldered blouse with floral knots at sides and I still feel very "current" when wearing it on.

Christian Dior thrift-find color blocks and flower patch-work blouse *altered*, J Crew brown-green cardigan, Levis coral skinny jeans, Proenza Schouler large satchel, J Crew earrings, momo's march Sun-beam bracelet, Chanel Sunglasses, black flats with studded bows *bought in Rome*

I love how distinctive each color on me yet how harmony they blend in with one another.

Finally... my hair is growing... longer...

Find your green.
xoxo Rachel

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!! I also add a fake eye-lashes w/ white dots for more fun and dramatic!! Voila~ my Gray Swan .... w/ Alaia gold lace-up heels! ^^ A full house of ...

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.
