Strawberry Loves to Dance....

It's all happening tonight. My friend, Alice, and I will be taking Red eye flight to New York city. I am overjoyed as it has been over 10 years since the last time I visited there. Well, that was long time ago when I was still a flight attendant for China Airline. Anyway... I probably should get back to my packing and polish myself for the last min. jet setting look. I probably should wear leggings or jeans on plane but I love skirts... so I am up for a skirt and stocking look tonight. ( You know, stocking/tights can help me ease the uncomfortableness from swelling. ) And~~ I will see you in New York then.  Later~ ( Pack the Marni coat just in case it gets chill during the night in New York.)   A.  Wang tank, Enza Costa burgundy drapy skirt, Falke stockings, Jeffery Campbell studded boots, Prada clutch, stripped cardigan, floral scarf,  Servane Gaxotte rabbit necklace   Wear your scarf for an extra chic look! xoxo Rachel 

Coincidentally, I had feather on me these couple days.  Furs are fun but it has been around for so many seasons that finally something fresh, "feather", came along and I feel like playing around with the new looks with it.  Sorry about not being so active on my blog these days as everyday my schedule is filled with my kids' school and extracurricular activities after 2 PM.  And you know how things can be all piled up if you don't keep up everyday's schedules and those house chores can occupy you a lot of time as well.   But it doesn't mean I don't dress up everyday. I still do and I get more inspirations from life and places I go nowadays. Inspiration is how you see things differently from different angle of life and from people surround you, isn't it?? Ah ha, I must grow wiser as I speak....... as I wished.   Prabal Gurung sheered black shirt with feather, Elisabeth & James ruched sleeves blazer, Tory Burch white satin panel pants, lo...

The Now and Later look or you can say Day and Night look.  Chanel dress spring 2012, St. John floral horn necklace, Glory Chen golden mesh heels with knots, J Crew bow bracelet, Servane Gaxotte rabbit necklace American Apparel 3D floral mesh sweater + Chanel spring dress + Glory Chen golden mesh heels ...  Think of a million ways to wear your fancy dresses.  xoxo Rachel 

I know I don't have to wear completely new pieces to have a fresh look for every season. However, I do buy new pieces every season religiously. What I really want to say is there is nothing innovative in the fashion trend, so you don't have to rush into stores to procure runway pieces just yet.  Here is what I am inspired by the runway looks and after my interpretation, I think the look is fresh and stylish with a so-me look. Now, would you excuse me, I think I need to look for more inspirations.

I laid my eyes on  Servane Gaxotte 's  necklaces for almost 2 or 3 years by now. It always has been a pleasure every time  I saw them.   I admire Servane Gazotte's delicate work on both the dollies or animals  figures, and especially adore those cute dresses and tutu skirts that she dressed on them. I bet you cannot help but swooning over those dangling little things once you see them! Speaking of dedicated works, parenting counts one of them. The new school year just started and I finally had kids' everyday  activity down on schedule. From Piano, tennis, gymnastics, ballet/tap dance, art, vocal, Chinese school..... you name it, we parents let kids explore them all until they find one as their passion. Hopefully, they can be persistent of what they picked and possibly be as good as a profession.  "in" shirt with color blocking (Taiwan brand), Celine red pants, Hermes Croc. belt, Charlotte Olympia cat face black pump, Herm...
