I said, whenever I have new acquisition, I almost wear it right away.... If not literally, I still manage to wear them ASAP!!
Speaking of time is money, the time you kept them in the closet or on the shelf is a big waste of money IMO!! hheee........ :P
Here are all the fun I had this afternoon when Ilona is napping and after she woke up!! Well, actually, the fun ended when Ilona bugs me going down stairs looking for her grand-mom and grand-pa!!! :)
Like I said before, when you notice a particular brand name shampoo causes your hair shed more, you better switch to other brands.
So I did!!!
I notice that maybe my scale doesn't like Ferraki so much, then I switch back to my used-to-be-my-fav. hair cleaning regime. All nature ingredients product : Ojon!! I also love Bumble & Bumble Curl Conscious cream but it is salon exclusive so I had to get that next week when I go back to my hair designer!!
From left to right: Ojon light weight hydrating gel/ Ultra hydrating shampoo/conditioning, Revitalizing Mist (leave-in conditioning)

You really did a fantastic "revival" on that Dior dress. It's one of a kind and it's fabulous, worn together or separately. I'm curious what kind of accessories you'll be putting together with that outfit and I can't wait to see.
Loehmann is definitely da bomb!!
Thanks.
I checked out your blog and I like your oxford flat shoes...they are so hip this season...and I don't know if I should buy ONE since I already have different style w/ heels!! hum......
Also, I think you really pull off man's wear really well. :)
hha...yes, I would plead "guilty" just because the weather is not that cold YET!!
You know, I have to take very closer look of each pic. you took so that I can feel I would be much familiar w/ it next time I travel there!! THanks for those great photos, btw.
Hum...yes, I have not wore the whole Dior outfit OUT once but only separately. I think it still have chance to be seen in public before the weather gets cold. :)
Yes, I think shopping in Loehmann's or vintage store need some luck. And I am really happy about that Jaguar wool cardigan!
hah...thanks. I just promised DH that I will cool down myself for this season and I think I won't get any fancy stuff until Nov. or Dec. when things go on sale then.
You know, I think I almost have to wear a thin socks when slip into my all boots..just so it will be easier to pull OFF!! Plus, don't want the sweat got trapped inside the boots. hee......
Sure, let me see what can I do to dress up that Dior dress a bit more. However, I don't think I will wear that much accessories though. :P
I should call you .... soon. How is your Berlin trip by the way!!??
Ok, back to the toile dress, wow, so did you wear it this summer... I can't believe I didn't even dress it once this whole summer...maybe it is about time to wear it ... so Dior dress and Jean Paul Cartier dress will be my outfit this week. hahah....
Oh, I bought that Chole boots in Bloomingdales and it is probably the only department store carries that color!!!
Thanks.
you know, I wonder do you even wear BOOTs at all. :P haha...
you know it is all good - you have a nice collection of boots and bags, and you have two daughters to hand them down to.
I love that Romeo and Juliet legging on you. :)I visited Loehmann's website but too bad they dont take online order :(
I wish i have that many boots.. I love wearing boots with skirts or short dresses. Im petite so i always make sure all my dresses are above my knee length.. :)
I've been looking for a brown leather boot like your Chloe one but it is pretty hard to find the one that you just instantly want it..
It is pretty cold here already. Today, i went to school with a jacket and scarf already.. and the leaves are already changing color :(
I hope you will enjoy all your boots collection and i cant wait to see your modeling pictures. :)
How are you?
My in-laws are here (they came on Sun.) and you know, so far, we dined out on Mon. night and cooked ONE Plus dishes for tonight...WHY ONE plus? Cause' my father in law doesn't eat things I cook and what they cook can't seem delight my kids, so my mother in law cooks ONE and I cook some for kids. :) (sometimes the dishes they cooked are too salty or too spicy even we love it.... ;)
However, I must say, it always needed some adjustment/adaptation/compromise whenever/ whoever stayed at the house!! *sigh* I mob and mob and mob the whole day!! haha... Well, no complaining here, I am just like a keep-house-neat-all-the-time weirdo. ha..!
I guess it is better to see those being parted from department store stuff in real person prior to purchase. Some of them might be missing a button, losing sequins, a hole here or there..... :P
Oh, yeh, I typical don't like brown color unless it is the right shade, great quality....and like you said, first love!!! :) Hope you do find a brown boots you like...how about BCBG suede tall boots for $189? "THe Look 4 Less" blog shared this today and it is a nice looking boots. (Although I would wish it is a short version.)
How do you like your white bracelet? I think I am going back to that store to check out some other fun things in the future.
Wow, can't believe it is that cold there already!! So I envy you then.... oh, I know, maybe I can stay w/ you for a while and maybe you get to wear my boots until here cools down. haha.... (oh, the size doesn't fit...grrr....)
Right, the length of skirt and the gap between boots is very important...otherwise it really won't flatter one's proportion. I saw a girl wore short skirt w/ over keen high boots in SF city the other day and I just think she would look much slimmer and taller if she can either shorten her skirt a bit more or simply let the skirt COVER a little over her keen high boots!! That way, the keen high boots would serve as a nice pair of legging and elongate her legs more.
Well...I think I talk too much now. haha...
Today I did were JPG dress but I don't know if the look worth for the shoots. :P
How I wish I was in SF city wearing my boots..and all. haha...
Thanks for stopping by my blog and if you ever order duck in that restaurant, be sure to tell us how is it!! :)
I visited Frankfurt and Rhine Valley in Germany, and then spent a week visiting Prague and southern Czech Republic. It was a wonderfully romantic trip since it was just me and DH (kids were with my parents and with ILs). We took tons of scenery pictures b/c we were surrounded w/such beauty. Unfortunately, I didn't shop much at all. To be honest, I didn't find anything in Frankfurt or Czech too exciting for me. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with where to go for fashion but I ended up spending most of my money on eating and site-seeing. :P
In any case, I'm looking forward to fall weather, if it ever comes... Btw, thanks for the promo email you sent yesterday!
yep, I can't wait for the fall to come...you know, this year, our moon festival even delayed til' Oct. (can't remember mid or end of Oct.) since we have 2 "May" in lunar year. Which means our winter won't come till end of Nov.?!!!
I need your number again so please email me back in your private email. Thanks. :)
