Strawberry Loves to Dance....

While black and white ensemble is still omnipresent in the summer, monotoned off-white is also refreshing. Don't you have some clothes that is just beyond versatile that you would never give them away!!! I have this lace tulle top that my friend, Cathy, gave me 3 years ago. And ever since I work it with my wardrobe every now and then, I am always content with the outlook and love it to pieces. Lace, forever eye-pleasing!! ^O^ current/elliot printed jeans, Isabel Murunt boots, Hermes Herbag with bengal green piping, Earl Gray vintage lace top, Ann Taylor trench  Hermes Herbag 38cm Summer is perfect for wearing airy and casual linen.  xoxo Rachel 

Never thought the winter shadow could be so vivid and slender ~~ no bundle up if I don't have to!! ^^ hum.... I need to take a closer photo to show you Oscar de la Renta earrings....  they are huge and they are my ideal statement earrings supposed to be. You know what's so great about living in west coast/California per se? You can mix n' match all the clothes altogether all year round....  (Oh, no, I don't think I ever wear fur during summer just yet, that's for sure!!! lol.) My ODJ. 1.

I particularly like no-eyeliner look of smoky eyes so I did it again. ^^ source: Luck Magazine.  Bobbi Brown Taupe (upper eyelid) + Mac Gold (lower eyeliner) 2010 A/W Trend! Inevitably we will see some things again and again every year..... While I browse through Lucky mag. my eyes were drawn by this classic and simple cape. (left below) The camel cape w/ brown trim is by Lauren Moffat .   Navy w/ red trim is so fun and eye-catching too! She also has this timeless tartan textile outwear and skirt available on her website! Lauren Moffat's design is simple yet classic.  You can also find unexpected colored textile which she made into fun skirts and dresses! Her pieces give you both Vintage and Modern look in one. Find a chance to visit her blog, would you! ^^ Inspired by her pieces, I dug out my tartan dress which I bought last year. It is so cheap that I didn't realize it is very much for "teenagers".....until I read the label. I didn't even k...

This is a very gray-ish lace n' pleat dress I bought at Jakarta. Mother-in-law thinks this dress looks somewhat dirty for its undeclared color whereas I adore "Her" urban yet elegant look. ^^ Especially those vignette of spiral laces and pleats all over the dress make it so "vintage" to me!! By the way, this is the sample pair I bought yesterday from Carmel.  I got a special deal from the owner (again) as 1) it is a sample pair which doesn't have zippers 2) the last one and fits me.  As far as the style is concerned, I'd think it is a Cow Boy boots except it's made of delicate cloth n' embroidery.  My ODJ.  1.
