Self-induldging!!!

Yu n' my family spent a great n' unforgettable Valentine's Day together in Reno last week. 

We skied everyday like there is no more snow tomorrow....ha...(I assume we two families are very competitive w/ each other too..hahahah...) The pros are kids had fun, me n' Yu both had 2 snowboarding lessons n' a big feast of surprising Valentine's dinner. 


Why I said it was a surprised Valentines' dinner? 

No, our DHs didn't plan anything since our trip is a last minute plan. 

We are lucky enough to find a decent restaurant "The Grill" in Reno n' the owner/manager is friendly enough to let us whole group stinky n' ugly enough outfits to dine there. lol 


We still had our ski suits on n' all the customers looked at us all wired when walked in w/ bunch of kids that night!! ^O^
The kids??!!
Happily sat at another table!!!

So what do I get for Valentine's? 

A family trip to Lake Tahoe. 
A Catier Ring. 
A Ena 5 Coffee machine. (finally... and I drink my coffee at home everyday ever since ... until I notice my throat starts to show the syndrome of being short of iron these days.....haha..... )
A Classic ~~
I am out of breath. 

My ODJ. 





1. Top:
J Crew shirt
Max & Co. taupe/brown leather bomber jacket
2. Bottom: IRO high waist tapered pants
3. Accessory: 
Balenciaga sunglasses 08' 
Hermes Gris T. Birkin 35cm
AJ scarf
4. Shoes: MaxMara black clog

I was cooking dinner while DH took these photos. 

I never change to casual outfit even when I am home. 

Why?

Too lazy, no time to change cause
 there are 5 mouths to feed, n' didn't seem the necessary, ...

Afraid of cooking oil splashing on clothes?
Why not? So I can get new clothes!! :P


Looking good every minute in my life for myself n' for my family!!

Hehe I like it how your kids peak in some of your photos!! :) Glad you chose the bag in beige, LOVE it! And yay for the coffee machine, the ring and the family trip, I remember you posting your wish list :) It's also cool that kids got to sit at another table, bet they felt like grown ups haha

P.S. I don't do yoga. I tried for a few months but realized it wasn't really my type of thing. Maybe I'm just not too patient to hold the poses for too long lol I prefer something more dinamyc and that involves more of the vigorous movement!

Mascarpone is not sweet on its own, yes! That's why last time I said that in order to make this mascarpone cream you need to be adding something to it...

Here, a few recipes for you:

Oh.....BTW, is your beige caviar the 09A/09C beige clair or the new 10C beige? My friend wants to see the new beige so if yours is the new beige color, then I can point her to your picture. :D The new beige color code is 21011, the beige clair from 09A/09C is 21209. Please see if you can help check the color code of your bag so I can tell my friend. :D Thanks again R!!

Cheers,
Mia

yes, LS, that's my new Max & Co. leather jacket. The color is unique n' they did special treatment to the leather..it looks very similar to the effect on my Alexander Wang Coco Duffel bag..... patches n' like croc embossed texture.
