Strawberry Loves to Dance....

I have two Chanel boucle' jackets and every winter, I'd remember to wear them out as they are just gorgeous and classic. This white Chanel from Shanghai collection was inquired last year and I am still in awe for its chic style whenever I put it on. Isabel Marant pullover sweater, Chanel 10' jacket, Burberry Prorsum 11' boucle pants, Zara fringe boots, Hermes Berania Picotin  Almost everything is past season piece except for couple accessories I put on to freshen up my look and they are ostrich necklace, Hermes bag, and Chanel booties Erin Kleinberg embellished pocket tee, Marni 10' houndstooth upside-down two way jacket, Helmut Lang suede burgundy pants, leather collar with beads, Brunello Cucinelli ostrich necklace, Whole foods Market bought striped gloves/mittens (2 ways for wearing w or w/o fingers), Chanel booties 11' We had Christmas party with friends at Cafe' Tiramisu in SF city and the Squid Ink Linguini with fresh crab...

It is always hard to stick w/ one or two tends every new season. For me, it is a matter of flattering or not whenever I put on an ensemble. I am very blessed having long legs and good proportion so it won't be a disaster if the whole look is not so flattering. (^_−)−☆ But then I know, I'd avoid buying or even trying on those no-no clothes!!...... You can't have it all anyway, can you!!? One of the most expensive fashion bible I ever bought. (DH always think they are junks.... :P ) Some busy~  Some neutral and so soothing~ Cant' wait to find something like those~~ My old wooden platform Jil Sander pair will keep me company until ~~  Two outfits that doesn't seem outdated at all.... w/ a splash of neon color and retro style!! neon orange tank, AA (American Apparel cropped tee), J Crew military belt, Marni gabardine cropped pants, Alexander McQueen squared toe heels, Chloe orange Sally. (All past season) Neon Orange st. John vintage...

The moment I saw Ka ren Walker's boutique in Taipei , I had to manage myself to remain composed in front of the SA! ^^   So excited!  sexy blouse... You probably remember one of the signature print of this year on the tote bag.  The store manager, Jerry, took those cute stuffed vegetable/caterpillar for Ilona to play w/ while I shop and take pictures. ^^ I have been a fan of Karen's retro, bold and bright-colored sunglasses but dare to buy w/o trying it on first.  To my regret, they sold out all the 09' round style and nothing left for me...except for this style of Dandy 08' tortoise that suits me.  The arrow at side has always been her signature. Then I go home w/ this quirky poncho....which I already have million ways of wearing it. ^^ The manager, Jerry, is very kind that he gave me this orange t-shirt decorated w/ the print of a broken pearl neckl...

So, couple days ago, I pondered what kind of " theme " of my outfits I'd pack in my luggage to Taipei and Indonesia!! Then I read MadsAboutYou's comment on my last post: what's not to wear when she travels to Philippine?   That's quite a good way of eliminating USELESS clothes and keeps packing tidy! If you must looking fab. for some reasons, or some parties, .... there is always a place to SHOP, isn't it!! Then I thought about my way.... "the theme "-- Ah, ~ PRINTS .... all kinds of prints. They do best when mix and match together. Digital or ink-jet, animal, floral, abstract,......doesn't matter!!! ^^ Other than Marni's vivid color combination, I love the conventional ways of doing prints of Dries Van Norton's collection.  I waited for sales to embrace myself in some busiest but also the pretties prints of his collection. (His prints is not digital print and thus takes a lot of work a.k.a expensive for those intricate pri...
