Enthusiasm!!!

Officially it is a 5-day countdown to our Amsterdam and Barcelona trip on 12/25. Even so I still decorate our Christmas tree and around the house, it is just the spirit that I cannot live without during this holiday season.

Besides, kids love it so much when they can actually get their hands down on hanging up those ornaments on the tree and see exciting Santa and angels decoration around the house.

I want to get a pair of gold-plated cuffs to complete a Wonder Woman look but since I am not ready for spending $$$ on those, I decided to get mine at Whole Food Market. They are only $10 each. Even though they are made in sterling silver, they are good enough for me for now.

We even prepare one stocking for our little hamster, Minnie.

Don't you think those cakes are so cute that you dare to eat nor cut them.

I am very proud of myself for collect those pretty glass ornaments over the past 4 years.

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!!

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.
