Fun in SF City + French Soul Food Restaurant!

Peilly and I stopped by LF store on Union St. yesterday. We think it is the best place to shop for trendy and hip stuff AND relatively cheaper deals. Although their price isn't as cheap as we expected, now they have everything 60% off, it is a great chance to hunt something before your mind is all set for fall. {You know, when my mood is not yet set for upcoming fall, I'd look everything in darker color just plain wired on me....but once I start shopping for fall, I couldn't wait to strut new stuff on the street.}

"State of mind" is interesting, isn't it!!

This gorgeous This and That mixed wool cropped cape/poncho is from Anthropologie.

We wait at least 1 and half hour there before we are being seated!!

Love the motif ceiling and rusty concrete wall mixed ambience.

This is one of their chocolate chips filled Beignet (doughnut).

We enjoy this hot and yummy chocolate beignet with kids whilst waiting for our table.

You don't know how hearty this Gumbo soup is until you try it yourself!!

Their Benedict is so smooth and creamy and the yolk won't stick all over your lips.

I bought a hair band at LF store ~~ to play with Russian or Baroque style!

Gray is a great color to transit my mood into fall!

Have fun packing up your spring wardrobe.

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!

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.
