Strawberry Loves to Dance....

I seldom wear pants and if I do, I will look for tapered, cropped, flared, cuffed, drapery folded........ as many details as I can find. I don't wear plain clothes very often which doesn't suit my personality anyway.  This is my first boucle-tweed cafe' capri from J Crew and the only tweed pants I have as a matter of fact. It is very eye-catching with its mixed olive/yellow/green wool threads and very comfortable. Here is the simple look of me paring color blocking shirt with the pants. As I challenge myself that I should be able to find two pairs of shoes to complete my look to break that spell " Women are always short of one pair/the best pair of shoes to go with their outfit!!" { My hubby will be so proud of me... haha... } Alexander McQueen black satin square toe heels  Chiffon color blocking shirt, J Crew Cafe Capri, Proenza Schouler yellow PS1 clutch, Betsy Johnson pearl earrings with checkered bow,  J Crew patent green skinny belt, Lu Lu frost ...

Thursday is no longer my busiest day in a week, kids' extra-curriculum activities are spread out from Monday throu. Friday. Still, I have to drive back and forth between kids' classes and home all afternoon.  Therefore, recently I found myself totally neglecting the hanging sign " REMOVE THY SHOES " above our entrance and rushing in and out of the house w/ shoes on. Now I certainly have to mop/vacuum our floor more frequently than usual. Yeah, it is just too much trouble to buckle and unbuckle my shoes everytime I enter the house.  My ODJ. 1.

So I heard that Chanel nail polish 509 PARADOXAL eggplant shade is not quite flattering,   NOT EVEN ON ME!! But some of you know me enough that I'd try my best to make things WORK FOR ME ! ^O^  Stubborn that I am!!  Today, I dug out my very first Christian Louboutin Very Prive sequin heels in deep navy/purple. I was thinking perhaps the purplish sequins could "highlight" that iridescent purple nail polish on my toes better to coax it doing the work of "flattering" MOI!!!  Then I think it worked!!! What do you think? (Pardon those veins!) There I had very bright ORANGE polish on.... keep the FUN! ^^ Doesn't Pei look adorable there!!! I always amazed how detail that Pei would pay attention on her every single piece, the layer, the color matching, the bag and the boots!  Kudos to her! Yu and I both had orange and yellow accessories.... pure coincidence! ^O^ Don't we look like sisters again!!  People tend to be...

Do you notice my style changed when i am in Taipei?  Perhaps not!!! ^O^ But I do my best to distinguish my style from the majority in Taiwan. Like my friend said, the style of 矽谷 . Well, who knows what does that mean!! lol Hubby and my son finally joined us from SF this morning, thus both my camera men are back in their position. :P  To help Niel adjusting the jet lag and curb the tendency of sleeping through the day, I signed up swimming class for him. So the first thing after he got off from the plane is ...... go swimming!!!  Niel is still a rookie in swimming :P.  I notice that stripes and little floral prints on clothes are omnipresent sold in the stores and worn by people in Taipei.   Resistlessly, I bought this stripes dress along w/ this asymmetrical collared blazer at   a. Fad.  the other day.  Perfectly go w/ my Chanel 226 black matte reissue! ^^ A casual wear! A dressier look: W/ long green legging n' YSL tribute heels...

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...
