Prints... Anytime, please!!

Let's review some current trend before we all moved on to Cruise and spring 2012.

I was cleaning and de-cluttering my closets the other day and found my old orchid print skirt which will be perfectly paired with my Zara $35 orchid top now. I am so happy that I didn't donate or throw away that old skirt which hubby thinks it looks so "out-dated" in mid-length. However, he is wrong, fashion comes around and goes around less than 10 years now and not just the mid-length skirt look is back, the printed fabric is omnipresent on all runway shows, aren't they?

Stella McCartney

Ederm
(Both are runway looks)

Don't clean out your printed pieces cause' you never know when will you need them but do throw out your plain tees.

It is officially a count down before Christmas and my family are all booked for our Netherlands and Spain trip on Christmas Day and all the way till next year 2012. {Gosh.... did I just say 2012 already???} Our plan is to celebrate New Year's count down in Barcelona and it will be quite a special experience for my family and especially my 3 children. But Christmas decoration is nonetheless a tradition that we will still put up our Christmas tree and wreath on our big entrance door by this weekend!!!

Ah... I love holidays, especially at this time of the year~~

Zara orchid print top, Zara gray/white striped long tee, Made in Italy orchid with leopard mix print mid-length skirt, Christian Louboutin Bianca, Chanel matte white reissue 227, Urban outfitter gold cuff, Lu Lu frost for J Crew. art decor. necklace

This Elisabeth and James reversible coat is my new favorite, it is light and warm and it really is a great alternative to chunky knitted cardigan.

Start your Holiday cleaning~~

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.
