Strawberry Loves to Dance....

We are back from Lake Tahoe ski trip. Kids and all of us had a great time and the best parts is that I finally can maneuver the snowboard freely!! Yeah~ I even went on blue lane/route w/o fear!! I am glad that we have this long weekend to rest and glad that we went to Lake Tahoe earlier than everybody else. The traffic is pretty bad on Sat. morning when we drove home! Make a note to myself: Don't go skiing on the long weekend if we don't have to.  Rent kids' ski equipments in advance so they can still have fun w/o attending ski camp.  Bring a nanny/sitter if there are more than 4 kids and when everyone wants to go skiing instead of watching kids. ^O^  Wear as many protection pads as possible when go skiing or snowboarding.  I wore helmet, wrist protector, knee pads and even bought a butt pad when practicing snowboarding!! (Just so you are not afraid of fall and thus learn as quickly as possible. lol) Kids had their make-up piano lesson this morning. Ah, should ...

This is ME dressed as Samurai look at Feb. 2010 ...here is the link to original post !! (For this old post: Please let me warn you that you can skip a whole lot of self-meditating talk at upper half post and scroll down to the bottom pictures!! lol.) Here I cinch Marc Jacob dress w/ thick white leather belt as it would stay the way as is.  So, what exactly are we look at here? The belt!!  The Martial or Samurai look whatever it is will be the hottest way to "accessorize" in 2011.  2011 s/s Sonia Rykiel runway!! I thought fabric belt cinched looks are familiar and it is not just Sonia Rykiel, there are also Haider Ackermann, Dries Van Noten..... they all up to the feminine w/ a twist of this tough-it-out belted look in 2011.    I need a hair cut...yes, I know, "again"?!!  I am not so sure what's the hottest trend for hair-do but I hardly stand my hair "style-less" for a week. ^O^ At least, I probably would want to grow my hair whilst keep t...

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 found Oscar de la Renta earrings at their website. I was so anxious to see it in person that I decided to pay overnight shipping. I am quite satisfied w/ its' statement look which not only it is exactly as what I had expected and even better, it also matches my J Crew-find green glass cuff perfectly!!  My friend, Isabel , laughed when she heard that I want to match Oscar de la Renta w/ my J Crew bangle. Well, yeah, but why not, we always mix high and low.... stuff like that as long as the results are looking fabulous!  Again, ouch*~ it is not very cheap. If someone told me that they can find similar earrings at a flea market, I'd say, go for it !! ^O^ Oscar de la Renta 24-karat gold-plated green glass and sapphire drop earrings.  (lower left) J Crew green glass cuff on distressed golden metal.  This will be the outfit for our girls' first night dining at Guy Savoy!! I love the super fitted look of this dress from Aqua.  I saved it for special occas...
