Strawberry Loves to Dance....

These days I often see people carrying red bags on the street. I am not sure if it is because I consciously pay attention to people who carries red bags or it is just everyone is into this red/bordeaux trend.  Hermes 10' Lindy 30cm in Rubis, Chanel 10' red reissue 226, Alaia 11' laser-cut tote  In real life, this Chanel bag is more of an unevenly raspberry red. Herems' Rubis has slightly a pink/blue undertone while my Alaia is very much of a true red.  Blackberry, basil lemonade!.... you really should give it a try! {I would love to see a red bag with this saturated purple/navy undertone too!!} My ODJ Madewell navy shirt with side-buttons, Karen Walker 09' cape shirt, Free people beige/caramel wool hat,  Valentino for GAP 09' cropped pants, Boss orange multiple colored Mary-jane platform, Alaia 11' laser-cut large tote  {I didn't forget this almost one-of-a-kind Valentino for Gap cropped pants which I bought in Rome last year. I say "al...

We family had a quiet Christmas Eve this year.  Instead of partying, I cooked simple dishes for my family and kids watched "Polar Express" at home.  Next day on Christmas, before we know it, kids already woke up and opened their Christmas gifts cheerfully. ^^ Well, I think my kids learned that anticipation brings them good joy!! I must say that I love Christmas spirit!!  Yum yum, Dim Sum ! Aren't little girls looking adorable in holiday dresses!! That's DH who escorts Irene and her little son ~~ ^O^ Me in last year Giorgio Armani LTD lip color. It rained dog and cat yesterday so we took kids to bowling instead of feeding reindeer in SF zoo.  Basically, those bowling balls are way too heavy for kids at this young age and they had to toss the bowls on the floor and let it row very slowly toward those pins! Kids love the game and finally my son had the reality idea of what bowling game is..... on the opposite of those games on Wii!! ^O^ I know, .......

Last weekend we had total 3 birthday parties at PUMP IT UP. I am glad that this year is almost over and I can recharge myself while await another kid's birthday party in January 1, 2011. ~ man ~~  Ilona is very strong and outgoing but when it comes to meet total strangers/other older kids at the party, she is still that little girl of mine. ^^ She only goes half way...but impressive enough!  Little hamster funny face...  Heidi grows up fast.... she is prettier and prettier day by day.  (Mother's proud here!)  We have a non-stoppable holiday schedule after our Europe trip in December so  I haven't had time to put up our Christmas tree just yet. (Now I am not so sure if I even want to bother putting it up.) But we are going to have a quiet Christmas at home  for sure after my 3-day-trip w/ girls next weekend.  This Marni   Washed gabardine trousers  is a better fit harem/suit pants.  That means your butt ...

We had two birthday parties at the same day, same spot but luckily, different time slot at PUMP IT UP !! Another coincidence as one birthday party is my friend's son and the other one is from DH college pal's daughter. We were there for 2 parties from 1 pm all the way to 5 pm or so.  Trust me, even we didn't do much, all the talking, smiling, and socializing worn us all out that we could barely finish our dinner at home by 7 PM. :P Pump IT UP-- This is ONE of the most popular kids birthday spots in west coast. ..  I think~ The best thing two people can share is friendship! Every time Ilona saw this mini cooper, she goes crazy ~~ ^^ Girls, seriously, next time when we go out, we need a better BAG-OLOGY that no one would ever carry the same bag.  On me, RUGBY shoulder patch cream turtle neck, Chanel 08' red/gray tweed jacket, VALENTINO for GAP cargo pants, Purple socks, Valentino bow platform, Ann Tyler bib necklace w/ crystals, Brass necklace w/ dangl...

M Missoni ruffle front sweater + Valentino For GAP ruffle cargo pants... do I look clownish? I don't think so!!!  I fold my Valentino For GAP jacket and Cargo pants nicely and place them on the bench in our master bedroom.  I stared at Valentino For GAP jacket and Cargo pants and *awe* every time I am about to go to bed. I think I am going to wear them again over this weekend!! .....perhaps w/ my Valentino bow platform? ^O^ How Lucky I am that we happened to be in Italy because otherwise I wouldn't want to be bothered by lusting whole 7 pieces capsule collection and couldn't even touch it if I were in USA. I would hate the thoughts of it. (Yes, I also wondered why don't they release VALENTINO For GAP capsule collection in USA but Lanvin only?) Paired w/ its simple military green, ruffle never looks so powerful and alluring at the same time! Now a jacket and pants are in my possession and I am so happy. Is that just plain vain or the fact that we are eas...
