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.)

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!

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.
