Strawberry Loves to Dance....

Deep green, orange and caramel are definitely my go-to fall colors instead of grey, black or dark brown. Not particularly like the idea of dressing up in denim, black or grey seem-to-be a cool girl look, I love to be colorful in my ensembles and that suits my charismatic personality better anyway. Don't you think so?  Orange with zipper boat neck sweater, Marni leather shorts (bought in Orlando premium outlet), ACNE deep forest green cardigan, Karen Walker sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS1 large satchel, Balenciaga studded sandals.  What's your fall colors? xoxo Rachel 

I just finished a filming in Orlando, Florida last week and now I am back in North Cal. Needless to say that I love the cooler weather in SF and I don't think even with several chilly days we might have once a while here, there is really nothing to complain about living in California.  After the shooting wrapped last Friday in Orlando, I went to its premium outlet and picked several pieces from Marni.  Who knows those pieces on me are not current after I throw them on randomly altogether? Sheered midi skirt layered with legging, boxer, even my leather shorts here are perfect for the weather right now.  Well, when is the last time you check out premium outlet??? Maybe it is time!!  The Floral tank tunic top, leather shorts, the sheer pencil midi skirt, the sparkling flatworms are all from Marni's past season. Wear your same name brand pieces head to toe.  xoxo Rachel 

I am a make-up artist for a TV production currently which we almost finish our first episode. I can't reveal what it is but I can tell you it is an interesting life style of documentary film in San Francisco. And to tell you some more, it is not fashion but it is certainly an omnipresent trend in the big cities. Just like Fashion, we see it everyday and we wear it everyday except some has superb style, some is still evolving his/her way trying to find a personal look of him/herself.  I am grateful for being able to do whatever I am passionate about and I am also grateful that I don't have to compromise myself to earn a living through million other ways and struggle. But I do hope I can be great at what I am enthusiastic about and eventually make a living out of it. We are trying our best doing self-improving everyday, right???? I hope you keep up your dreams and never go far from it.  By the way, dress-up to please is almost my staple, so I am not sure I am into ...

I love both RED and GREEN and I often wear these two colors together. Fortuitously, they work perfectly on me too. As far as the red is concerned,  I think it is almost an infectious color.  My friend, Isabel , first loves RED, by then I wasn't even into it in 2011. Suddenly, I bought red pants, red skirt,... even now Giorgio Armani 400 red lipstick is my all time favorite. RED is such a classic color that true red or rouge if you prefer a little fancier name almost flatters everyone too. Then there is GREEN, any shade of green is gorgeous in my eyes. If you notice, it is not easy to layer different red altogether but it is somehow perfectly congruous to wear more than one shade of green in one look. Believe me, it works!!  Marni runway daisy tank s/s 2012, Marni red mid-length skirt f/w 2012, Carven sleeveless trench dress,  HM black cardigan, silver wedge, Tom Binn safety pin necklace, NM&Target collaborated clutch  Maeve shirt (A...

A hat is my perfect add-on piece but it would not be fun if there is no rain and I am wearing a rain hat, right?? Here in Silicon Valley, my outfit is considered well-dressed everyday so I guess it would take time to coax people to accept me wearing rain hat on a sunny day.   Yesterday we had a weird weather here in North Cal. cause' we had rain. But I am glad we had rain since I just bought this Marni rain hat last week. The rain is just in time.   PS. The shopbop giveaway winner will be announced on 6/6 Pacific time 3:00 PM.
