Strawberry Loves to Dance....

baby pink sweater, H&M burgundy high waist pants, Alexander Wang Abby sandal, big brim brown hat, Chanel 226 black distressed reissue, Madewell braided bracelet, shell/brass earrings  The transitional season is most annoying for that we are sort of getting tired of past season clothes but it is too early to wear new season collection just yet... .. so why not save the money and re-style yourself from current wardrobe!!  Have a good Monday! xoxo Rachel 

My friend, Elfi Altendofer, always makes gorgeous and bold necklaces! I couldn't wait to get my hands on her newest pieces!! ^^  I had her custom-make two necklaces for one with pink beads on safety pin and the other with yellow spacers. The outcome of the looks are intricate and one-of-a-kind luxury! I always have my own interpretation of edge, fun and urban twisted look, as you know!   Yu gave me the white butterfly patterned lace legging which is too tight to fit me but my solutions is have the legs cut-off and trim the edges as they now are my arm/leg warmers and thus the "bottom" becomes my "SHORTS" for this look!!! Yellow spacers and pink,clear,yellow, blue beads, translucent glass-tube on big safety-pins spike necklace.  Urban look 1. 1. Top:  Max Mara asymmetrical tee 2. Bottom:  sheered black legging with self-stitched emboridery  lace shorts (cut off from leggings)    3. Accessory: Elfi Altendorfer yellow spacer safety pin ...

Ok, officially, none of my kids is baby! Not after Ilona past her 3 years old birthday. But they will always be my babies no matter what. Did you feel you have a good luck already at the first day at work, at school .... or for anything? I saw interesting "lucky bags" sold at Japanese super market today. They call it "Lucky bag" as it supposed to bring you a whole year good luck!! Each bag is $30 but the goodies inside is worth more than you pay. I didn't grab one but now when I am looking at this picture, I am kinda regret.... :P I should have grabbed one just for the good luck and for the good fun out of a surprise!!! I think I am going to shoot around photos w/ moms and babies in our bay area!! ^O^  Yeah, how about that being one of my new year's resolution? Have fun w/ strangers so I can make even more mommy friends ??  Well, I hope they won't think I am crazy!! How about starting from someone who is already my acquaintances!! lol. (peer pre...

You must have seen this vintage inspired blouse look over and over again. Whether it be on the blog-sphere, on the street or even on 2010 A/W runway show, it indeed is one of the most "practical" trend for this fall/winter. (Yes, if you posses another trendy piece, such as shearling coat or big cape, you pretty much be covered through this winter.) I am not going to wear it as "the ordinary" way. Meaning, no wide-leg jeans nor wide-leg pants, and even not w/ jeans whatsoever!!  But I didn't say that I'd never wear the blouse w/ jeans or wide leg pants at all. It is just that there is no best apropos way of wearing it.  As long as you show the whole look w/ some kind of nostalgically aesthetic pleasure.   MY ODJ 1. Top: Ralph Lauren Jolene Silk Tie-neck blouse ( Their entire site are having 25% off and then they'd donate 10% to Pink Pony Fond.) Some brand of denim vest (Ah, does this look has always somehow associated w/ jeans in USA? Cultural i...

I was talking to friends about the new Chanel 10A Rouge/Orange reissue the other day but seems no one would believe that this RED is taken on an orange tint.  So here is the proof under white, florescent light.  (left) 10A Chanel Rouge reissue/ (right); 10A Chanel Rouge classic jumbo Now, do you believe me that MY new reissue (left) has that orange tint underneath!!? J crew military inspired belt.  My ODJ.  1.  Top:  Ralph Lauren w/ scallop trim knitting cardigan  2. Bottom: HM high-waisted rusty color of big pocket cropped pants 3. Accessory: J Crew belt Anthropologies mini disc necklace Chanel 10A rouge caviar 226 reissue 4. shoes: Alexander Wang Abbey gray/blue high heel sandal  Finally I scored this A. Wang sandal heels in a sale price.  Enough RED, that's change to my other OLD love of Chanel then. ^^ xoxo Rachel
