We 4 girls are going to Vegas next week but one of us is missing from this trip!! What a bummer!!! We probably will plan another Europe trip just to make up to "HER"!! {Hopefully, our hubbies won't want a divorce...^O^}  I am going to do a Shopbop GC giveaway by this weekend and it probably will carry on all the way till 11/22 the day after my Vegas trip. So please bear with me for couple more days. Meanwhile, since you guys like the break down tutorial of layering, here I did it again. Personally, I think it is fun for me as I can really see how many pieces I put on myself whether will it be an extra gloves or two layers of skirts or pants, the purpose is to keep ourselves warm as well as looking fresh in all the layers and colors, eh??! Basic piece: Orange Hugo Boss plum turtle neck { yes, it is time to pull out your turtle neck.},  J Crew Cafe Capri {online is having 20% off today code : STAYWARM } , J Crew patent green belt, gray textured socks, Marni platform...

Have you tried sequins?  Today, let's have a break down of layering tutorial for a heck of fun!!  Max & co. denim dress with front pleats (past season), Zara tan fringe suede boots Levis natural leather braided belt, Zara sequins mini skirt  {Definitely try the look of belting your belt on your natural waist when you wear low waist skirt or pants to declare your long legs.} Ralph Lauren caramel leather vest (past season) { I think to layer two skirts in one look is a new DO!! ^O^ } Hermes Rubis Lindy 30 cm et Vous rabbit fur long vest (past season) My Urban chic look of the day!!  Have some fun with a classic suede fringe boots! xoxo Rachel 

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 ...

Love the whimsical aesthetic of the woman and the color juxtaposition utilized in this painting.  Pic. source here .

After painting the soffit of my kitchen green, I found myself a new color frenzy.  So now I am in a phase of being crazy about green. It all starts from my sage green hairband which I intended to cover my two blisters at forehead.   { Can I say that I am Self-inspired by that? }  The color palette is sure more colorful than ever on this season's runway and I am glad that we have so many options to dress ourselves in colors in winter time!!  Yesterday I was trying a cape/poncho from J Crew but since this style is secondly marked down, they really don't have many sizes left to choose from. Therefore, I tried on size Medium and didn't like the slouchy drop around my shoulders so I passed it. {It really is a great deal of additional 30% off from current $99.} The Herringbone pattern is nice and always a classic. I want to complete my houndstooth Marc by Marc Jacobs green dress look with an oversized clutch. However, all I have is green one from Zara whic...
