French Classic~

Jacquard is such a classic fabric and more or less you will find fashion designers come up some pieces or collection with it. 


I saw Jean Paul Gaultier had one dress made out of Jacquard in De Young's Haute Couture exhibition today. And I am lucky to find this Stella McCartney suits (pants didn't show here) with such delicate weave and lovely rusty coral pink from runway 2011.

Iosselliani necklace and earrings, momo's march (link here) full sun bracelet 

I don't want to stack many of bracelets on my wrists, 1 or 2 on each is sufficient.

I just want to let you know I've been following your blog for a few months now and have been inspired by the way you put together your outfits. It seem so effortless and chic. In fact I'm so addicted to your blogs and have back tracked your older posts. some of it seem so timeless. simply love it. the only problem now is I'm spending more on clothes and accessories. Lately i've added quite a few dresses. anyway to show us how to layer with dresses and different ways to wear it. (also, can you archive your blogs by months and year?)
Does your hubby always approved of your high dollar purchases? Mine normally won't say anything but I kinda of feel guilty at times.

Thanks, girls! Once u found the right color for u, my suggestion is ; go get as many varieties of things to pair with. ;)

Ah, @Shoeaddit, yes, my hubby would nag when he sees the bill. However, I always tell him, "happiness comes from self-satisfaction!" And of course other things too!! But if dressing up pretty makes me happy and take great care of my family, let me be. I'm not buying cars or diamonds to make huge debt of our bank, a bit of vain is alright!! ^_^
Oh, yes, good quality of clothes/accessories last forever. So I cannot shop at forever 21, AF,...etc. ( j crew, madewell.... Sorts r fine with me.) Since I'm not college students nor 20 something, I need and love things with quality and can have memory to grow old with.
Enjoy ur life and love urself!!

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!! Voila~ my Gray Swan .... w/ Alaia gold lace-up heels! ^^ A full house of ...

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. Shoes:  09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...
