Winter Lace!!

No one would disagree with me that why we can't wear lace in the winter time, right? As long as you layer it right, it adds another dimensional feminine flair to any outfit.  


This is today's basic piece: 
Ancient Earl Jean lace tulle top {Does this brand even exist still?}, BCBG Max Azure necklace, reclaimed mink pom pom with sapphire white gold earring 


This morning I was over the top as I was expecting a package from a friend, Shui Chen, from her 2011 fall collection. I purchased a Cowl neck knit vest with leather trim and I have anticipated it since last week to arrive to complete my outfit of the day!! {So, before it gets here, I had a running nose but resisted to put on any layer that wouldn't seem to perfectly fit.}

This is the look when you zip up the vest!
{ps. I bought size s which is slightly bigger than my usual size cause' i like to wear it as a vest coat.}


{Yes, I insisted on wearing that BCBG necklace even you can't see its whole design underneath the vest. But remember, it's all about the layering .. something peeking through. ^^}


My complete ODJ
Earl Jean lace tulle top, Shui Chen cowl neck knit vest, Agnes' b homme pants (altered to be tapered legs and add two tuxedo stripes at sides), Chanel 08' gray jumbo classic, Manolo Blahnik embossed snake sandals, Prada minimalist sunglasses 11' 


I love the metallic sheen and structured fabric of this ancient Agnes b' man collection's pants when I bought it. I had it altered more than three times over the past 10 years to update its look however I want!!!! 

Tuxedo pants meets feminine lace and soft knit = perfect balance of macho and feminine!! 

Have you tried the look of Tuxedo pants in winter time yet?

Love the "rough" look of the necklace and the versatility of the cowlneck vest!

Have a great weekend!
LOVE those pants! Btw, that studded evening bag is actually Versace for H&M. I was just commenting on the fact that the varying studs have been used by Miu Miu before. Sorry for the confusion. Have a great weekend!
Ah, thanks Mona. Pei gifted that necklace on my birthday. Very unique and very tribute... You also should check out the vest. Such a great statement piece in small price.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde

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 !

Wedge + Clog ! MINE is Clog + Heel!

pic. courtesy from WhoWhatWhere website. I came across this Max Mara clog heels. I can't help myself buying it. Now I am very excited.....why? Cause' it is extraordinary. I love the golden studded along the leather and since I don't like wedge too much, this stiletto is perfect for me. So, did you see the bottom picture to the right? Kate Olsen!!? or Dree Hemingway's looks might work w/ Max Mara clog heels. ( Whose pic. is the very first one w/ fuchsia vest) Normally I am not a copy cat, but this time, I will see if I have something similar like what she wears w/. Yes, that will be a good start to tackle this pair of heels.
