Yes, when I had my mind set to wear specific something, mostly likely I am not going to change my mind even it rains. {Unless it pours or snow which I know it is impossible here in North Cal.} My ODJ 1. Top: Aqua by Aqua black bodysuit  Topshop floral shell  H&M Division (past season) lace jacket H&M black cardigan with shoulder details 2. Bottom: Topshop neon print midi skirt (link here)  3. Accessory: Africa turquoise in various colors necklace  Proenza Schouler PS1 clutch   lots of bubbles on wrist 4. Shoes: Brian Atwood platform sandal    2012 Balmain fall This is one of the things that I know I would appreciate its opulent details with pearls and embroidery which inspired by Faberge egg. With it's 5 figure price, I am staying put.....  Ah, love the skirt with a slit, I mean who doesn't enjoy a sight of leggy woman ...  ^O^ 2012 Haider Ackermann fall  ...

I am awed by Bottega Veneta and Fendi's 2012 fall runway shows during Milan Fashion week. Especially, I adore those mid-length dress/pencil skirt from Bottega very much and I appreciate the whole look of a woman in a sexy dress always seem so elegant yet with aplomb.   That's something I always want to achieve when I dress myself up, classical sexiness and confident.  Bottega Veneta Fendi This fall the deep green, burgundy and navy/electric blue colors have never been so dominant. While they are so hot on the runway, why don't we take the chance to wear those shades before summer comes.  Iosselliani  {Navy + Yellow intensively compliment each other.} I  think Missoni brown/green neck warmer really tights the whole colors altogether.   Top: J Crew knit sweater  Bottom: Chanel navy skirts Accessory: cross patterns tights Missoni neck-warmer 09' (acquired in Rome) Iosselliani earrings (link here) ...

Normally, I wear winter white once a year. However, I realized I didn't have the mood of wearing head-to-toe white ensemble last year. It must be the weather that is not as chilly as it is used to be during winter in North California.   The weather dropped its temperature down a bit today. And I had this white suiting inspiration from Patrik Ervell Women's ready-to-wear 2012 spring/summer collection, therefore, I decided it is time to wear my winter white which I would credit it to last year. lol....   Meanwhile, looking at Burberry Prorsum ' s fall 2012 collection, I am totally drawn into the cool flat hat attitude with girly skirt looks. I guess finally those wool hats done with fine craftsmanship could be appreciated even more.  My ODJ Top: Ann Fountain sleeveless shirts Elisabeth and James white blazer with ruched sleeves Bottom: Tory Burch tuxe. pants with satin ribbon piping  Accessory: Hermes white Collier De Chien Hakei (link here) ...

I rarely apply foundation as it actually covers my nature skin tone. However, I love primer and tinted moisturizer and they are just as good as most UVA/UVB foundation does to protect our skin from the sun.  So, what does the foundation to do with dress-up??  Well, I dug out my Michael Angel 2010 dress cause' I want to flaunt its pretty, and intensive prints again. And you know, I don't want to get goose bumps all over since it gets pretty chilly sometimes in the afternoon. So, my perfect solution is wearing something light and monotoned underneath of it.  I think it works pretty well. ^O^ Do give your past season clothes a new vibe!! {Note to myself: It's time to check back out Michael's new collection 2012.} {Simple color rule: Torquoise toe nails/raffia wedge and mango yellow Chanel classic flap.} Michael Angel Fall 2012  Love~~~ One last thing to share before I go to bed....... {You gotta to give them a good try, believe me, you will get ad...

Fellow blog reader asked me how do we match the bags with our shoes... Well..  I don't do matchy-matchy much but I feel them.. I feel my shoes and my bags whenever I dress myself up. ... err... Ok, I see your reaction. lol Here is the simple rule I create, you can use complementary color of a primary color (red, blue, or yellow) to do matching for your bags and shoes. So the complementary color of red is green, of blue is orange, and of yellow is purple. You can basically draw a line across and get the various shades for their closest complimentary colors. If you placed complementary colors next to each other, complementary colors make each other appear brighter, more intense, thus pretty too. {PS. I didn't create this theory but simply utilize this concept to do outfit color matching.}    Image: © Marion Boddy-Evans. Licensed to About.com, Inc. Now, let's put the ideal into reality.
