Wool Shorts seems very practical and fun at current season and it suits the weather here in North California!!  Similar wool shorts here and another fab. one here . I paired this Lu Lu Frost for J Crew necklace (click link to see more). I adore those art decor. earrings and necklace.  Those are last year's look in shorts.  (Original post) This was taken on the bus when traveling in London. Kate Moss shorts for TOPSHOP (original post) This was outside the Westin Excelsior hotel in Rome.  (Original post) Have fun in shorts this fall/winter.  xoxo Rachel 

I guess I like to dress myself up more rather than dress myself down. Of course, the whole  look has to make sense. I mean, when I dress up, I want to look glamorous instead of casual chic, thus here the hat and the fur would do the trick, right? My ODJ James perse tank, Madewell denim shirt, Peter Som Mongolia fur, Helmut lang suede zip pants, Minnetonka fringe boots, Alaia red laser-cut tote, GAP 06' vintage find in Rome  Now my youngest girl, Ilona, wants her own pair of Minnetonka fringe boots like us but she specifically requests that she wants exactly the same brown as mine instead the PINK as her sister!! ^O^ But i have to confess, it is a bit warm with that fur so I had to take it off in the afternoon after some steam going on around my neck...lol.... Get some fringe and have fun!!  xoxo Rachel 

I bought one MacKenzie-Childs country check enamel tea pot at NM and I couldn't help getting more! I just love the check pattern that not only does it not go out of style, but also easy to match either country or modern home decor. What's more, it can add a little French flair to your house.   So, let's have a tour in my house... oh, no , I mean let's have some fun and see what you can do with those tassels other than hanging them on the drapery curtains.   Typical, on the door knobs. Ah, ha~ hang them to magnify the look of your chandelier { I might need more here...} Can you see those tiny little tassels on Chandelier? (link here) If they can make twigs as deers' horns, why not put them a good use... ^O^.....  On the bed's headboard {good idea~} (pic. from link ) On the teapot...how cute!!  (pic. from Pottery Barn) So, what do you think? Fun, huh!?? Why not decorate your house with some pretty tassels? xoxo Ra...

Have you ever dreamed of growing an inch or two taller than you are right now?  Even I do.  I am 5'7" 1/2 but I still wish I'd be 5'10"  {We all want one way or another sometimes in our life, don't we?!}   Hopefully, either of my two little girls would reach that height.  I had my eyes on this pair of Charlotte Olympia way back in Sept. and finally I found my size on mytheresa.com with cheaper retail price of $779 compared to $850 - $895 at NM, Bergdorf Goodman and Nordstrom. My Theresa didn't even charge me VAT but only $60 DHL lightening speed shipping.  Charlotte Olympia Cat Face details red velvet platform wedge.   Heel Height: 150 mm I definitely reach my dream height and even taller in this pair.  Enjoy heels in whatever style.  xoxo Rachel 

I adore yellow and so do my friends! Let's have a Yellow feast!  Yellowish and creamy Hollandaise sauce vs. Yellow bell pepper cubes in spicy basil chicken!! Yellow/orange tulips vs. yellow lily! Pei's yellow Target bustier top + Missoni For Target zigzag shorts + belle for Sigerson morrison pony hair flats + Celine box bag  vs. Isabel's Bottega Veneta mustard brownish tote  vs. My yellow Le Cruset pot  Isabel with her new fab. bag, Moi in Burberry navy+yellow cropped wool jacket (only try-on), Yu and I in our yellow bags last year! My ODJ  As I said, if I can find two pairs of shoes to go with my ODJ the rest of this year, I am convinced that I have enough shoes!! {I still tantalize by a lot of sexy heels or boots and wedges..... so that being said: "As far as the shoes is concerned, enough is not enough." Shoes are like  art pieces, and art is for soul, for visual sensual not for practical reason, right?  }  A perfect color ...

I am taking my 5th session of acting class in Expression college. Every Tuesday as today,  I have to drive to Oakland to attend the class. It is such a long drive like hour and half depends on how bad the traffic is. However, the traffic compares to my passion for acting and the ambience when immersing in my classmates' excellent acting is tidies.  Oh, if you are interested in acting, here is the link for you!!  Mention my name, then both of us can get quite a significant discount!! {Think this way, it is a great therapy as you have to let go of yourself and get out of your comfort zone to be someone else without letting us know you are  ACTING!!} We have done one scene with our partner so far and I was "Jane" in the movie "Lantana". I haven't had the chance to watch the movie yet but once the NETFLIX delivers this film, I sure will watch it.  Tonight, my new role as "Annie" in the movie "Bridesmaid" is quite an opposite of real me.....

  Urban outfitter asymmetrical cut in the back tank,  Suzuki Takayuki  black shirt jacket with attached scarf and embellishment (I love those versatile and uniquely designed shirt/jacket), boyfriend jeans, Perry Hardy platform two toned sandals, Zara oversized clutch, crazy dog wooden and mixed beads necklace, urban outfitter gold triangle earrings and lots of lots of bracelets. (I figured that you probably know by heart now that what bracelets I wear as a whole set every time. ^O^)  The ruched details of this shirt/jacket is impeccable.   I would think shirt-jacket is pretty trendy and it adds a little laid-back chic look to a plain outfit.   Aquabyaqua orange bodysuit, Max Co. textured leather jacket, brown n' white shredded scarf, J crew earrings, floral print mini skirt, Chanel 10' red distressed caviar reissue 226, lots of bracelets. ^_* Strategia leather and suede gray boots  It is mid October but here in suburb...
