Shopping in Barcelona and obsessed with Maje and Sandro in Parisian style!!

Udon restaurant in Barcelona

This intriguing collar add-on from Hakei (Euro 39.99)

Me, enjoy a sip of coffee at Placa' Catalunya, Barcelona.

Isabel Marant pull over sweater (10'), Heremes bangle in Veronese, Jivago scarf, J crew bracelet, Baroqco necklace (see more online or FB), Prada s/s 11' minimalist cat's eye sunglasses

A contrast neckline shirt by Massimo Dutti (Euro 49.99)

Marni winter edition 2011 coat and heart prints pants

Now I am officially abscessed with Maje and Sandro, both are French brands and founded by sisters.

Isabel Marant pull over, Sandro skinny leather pants, Lanvin flats, Chanel 08' rodeo drive large tote

I just realized that the Chanel 12' yellow classic flap is a perfect pair with Marni s/s 12' 11 cm sandals!!

El Corte Ingles (department stores) are everywhere and they are having 10% discount for foreigners the entire floors. (They carry Maje and Sandro these two brands.)

Got ostrich feather???

A must do in ss 2012!

Rachel,
Barcelona looks like a lot of fun. Spain is one country I've yet to visit; I will need to add that to my list of places to visit someday. I admire you for maintaining a sense of style while trekking around the globe with three little kids. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Happy New Year!

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 !

Make It Work!! Isn't that the State of The Art For Fashion Trend!!!

Yes, I would think if you flip through most runway fashion magazines, you would be inspired w/ awe. WHY? Cause' every piece seems work out together just fine...oh, not just fine, it is nearly fabulous looking......on models. :P People constantly ask me if that's ok to wear socks w/ peeptoe heels, mary-jane, sandal heels......etc. and as a matter of fact, I LOVE that style ever since I had memory. ^O^ The only challenge is what kind of socks you choose to go w/ it!! Sheer metallic socks w/ sandal heels. Burberry Possum plays a lot socks w/ sandals platform since last spring. Isn't the lace knee wraps fun!! Christopher Kane's S/S 10 collection uses lots of gingham patterns. Do you think you can still find your grand mom table clothes or old dress to update its look a bit!!? Nothing not to love about those light fabric... so romantic. Louis Vuitton (RIGHT) plays w/ such intensive patterns n' different cuttings...
