Strawberry Loves to Dance....

For sure I am bringing these down babies with me when we family visiting Amsterdam and Barcelona during Christmas 2011 and new year 2012. {My, did I just say that, 2012~~ Ah, I can't believe it..., what did I achieve in 2011? Anything? lol..}   I purchased Mackage down jacket with a huge hood last weekend for our coming up Europe trip and absolutely love it!!! The weight, the design and the quality is beyond my expectation!!  Again, let's start with the basics!!  For some reasons, I like to do layering on upper body and leave my legs chilled!! ^O^ Bailey 44 black ruched tee, Shui Chen cowl neck wool bias-cut vest with leather firm, printed shorts, Burberry down puffer vest with fox fur trim, and printed tights, Diesel boots  Mackage down jacket  I think I am so ready for winter!!

Pei loves her Alexa Chung for Madewell " Ugly cardigan " and I joked that it gives me "Déjà vu" since I found one from Vintage shop couple years ago and they just look so much alike. Except mine is much thicker and warmer and it is ESCADA made in West of Germany.  I don't know how many years can this cardigan be traced back though. lol... I guess I can call mine "The ugliest cardigan" to top Pei's! ^O^ The weather is just so unpredictable! I hardly feel over-warm even with this big coat and scarf on me.  Order this cardigan one size bigger than your regular size for a slouchy look.  Alexa Chung for Madewell  Ugly Cardigan  (click link to see) My ODJ 1.

No , I am not looking for an excuses for my recent purchases but Yes , I am talking about how I cherish friends' gifts that I had to show them my gratitude through wearing their gifts along with my ensembles ASAP .  Aren't you so excited to see friends make good use of whatever stuff you bought especially for them?!! I would and I definitely want them to know that they and their gifts mean so much to me.  Therefore, I am innocently materialistic while showing off those pretty things.  Ben Amun triple chained beaded necklace (gifted from Cathy), Christian Louboutin heels, evil-eyes bracelet, madewell knotted bracelet, J crew black threaded crystal bracelet, momo's march wooden beaded bracelet  This Prabal Gurung black sheer shirt becomes my classic and fun piece.   { Cathy: As opposed to wearing the necklace mysteriously in a tribe look, I hope you'd like this one as well.)  My Outfit Du Jour  1.

"Sequins" is like leopard pattern, a forever piece if you wear it right!!  Keep the whole look simple is the key. {Of course you might play the game differently if you are going to Las Vegas, right?! }  The Dolce & Gabbana look is from Aug. fashion magazine which totally reminds myself my cheap sequined legging from  Romeo & Julia. { bought at Loehman}  Realway Vs. Runway! Today my girl friends and I went out for lunch and to get together for my birthday. I couldn't believe my eyes as their personal style just got better and better and most importantly, I love all the gifts they picked for me. ^O^ {Yeah, this is the evil side of me when only think of myself.} But seriously, they are willing to have photos taken and under one condition: Make sure they all look pretty! {Hooray!!}  On Pei: Zara top, Celine "Box" camel bag. She is very vintage-y look today.  {The facial expression on her just earned her another 10 points..... 99 pts. lo...

Occasionally you might find one particular color is somewhat inimical to your natural complexion but I'd say it hardly happens when you wear the most colorful and abstract prints!! You know, it gotta be, the odds of "none of the existing colors flatters you" is NONE , right?! ^^  Whenever I wear heels like this elegant and retro, I walk sexily. { I certainly wouldn't want to fell in front of my kids' teachers, classmates, or their parents.... how embarrassing it could be, if I did, right?!!} Besides, I would tuck in my belly when walking in heels which adds a bonus to my gesture! {Then you know you have to do stretches for your toes and calves during the night to prevent them forming a bulky muscles.} ..... *sigh* It is not easy to be a Woman and keep it up!! {Give ourselves a round of applause if we at least try!!} ^O^ Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato 120 Patent White {Hardly believe this pair is just the second new pair I bought this year.... me, tryin...
