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!!

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
