Strawberry Loves to Dance....

Since day 1 that I bought myself a coffee machine Jura ENA 5 , I am used to have a cup of coffee at home before I go out.   I think it is a good habit that I limit myself to drink less than 2 cups of coffee a day and avoid using store cups/lids by drinking out of my portable mug. ..... Doing very little help to save the earth...I assume!!  Obviously, not today though!!  ^^ Today I have to visit my friend, Renee, in SF city before she flies out to Shanghai on Sunday. But first thing first that I have to do some house chores such as putting away my Halloween decor. (see, we are even ahead of the holidays!), vacuuming the floor, washing our micro-suede sofa covers since we had guests over for Halloween parties   ( I am also a semi-hygenic freak.) and my duvet cover.  Don't you just love the clean and crisp scent of cleaning sheets/sofa!!  My normal breakfast: Coffee and English Muffin or any sweet pastry that I can get myself one.  My ODJ ...

RUGBY polo shirt, Kapital blazer, J Brand cargo jeans, Pierre Hardy platform sandal, Proenza Shouler PS1 clutch.  I especially love the "S" curve at back of this blazer... only the best seamstress could achieve that!! Lauren Moffat melton cape. (courtesy image) Isabel w/ her simple Marni coat! (past season, good as new!) J crew long tee, Marni necklace,  current  Elliot boy friend skinny jean, YSL easy tote (this year).  Pei's gray cape by Chris and jaime!! Cathy is trying out aryn K   poncho cape in mustard and gray! A beret w/ same shade of that poncho would complements the whole retro look even better!! Judy had her down feather jacket on which relatively tells you that today is just soooooo~ cold. What's your favorite fall and winter coat this season!!?? xoxo Rachel

M y day didn't end at 8 PM after my Zumba dance yesterday !  There are cheese/ham/lettus on Hawaii sweet buns, tuna melt w/ fuji apples sandwiches, (vega) Fuji apples w/ cucumber on l emon butter jelly sandwiches. I signed up for making sandwiches for my son's class, bringing goodies for Abby's whole classmates and fresh-cut fruits w/ muffins to Ilona's class. I think I am trying to be fair to all my 3 children that once I participate ONE, i'd be involved in all 3 of their class parties!! Our day today starts w/ Niel's first costume parade at school!! Niel's costume parade at 8:15 AM. ..which is a big deal to me that I normally am playing my make-up and dress-up at home by myself during that time! Lol.  Rushing to another school~ Vroom ~ Vroom~ Ilona's 2nd costume parade around 9:30 AM.  This is the most creative (from store bought) costume ever~~ w/ that hand-made mail box!! ^^ Ilona's 2nd costume of the year - TInker Bell! ...

I think I am famous among my friends for my prowess on taking any fashion trend and trying it on myself.  Can't deny it. I love challenge if I had the chance.  What NOW? Cathy bought me and herself a turban but I have not yet had the chance to try it on (on the way shipping to us)..... but a scarf would do the same trick!! ^^ I tied turban w/ Hermes hot air balloon silk scarf! I don't know why I'd bite Cathy's trick of wearing this turban hat to my son's school and around on the street....  Please use your imagination to put this lower puzzle w/ my upper torso !! lol. I am keeping this for my mom until~~  Chanel red 10A Classic jumbo w/ blue/purple undertone! Friend asked why I'd buy so many " square " shapes of Chanel flaps.... aren't they boring?!  No, of course NOT, I said.  I can carry them in many ways. Besides, t hey are  covetable for  the fact of their classic looks which also  makes them perennial f...

Girls all have a monthly thing~ lol Today I have a big craving for sweetness and I am glad that I am not eating ALONE! Today is such a beautiful day in Saratoga city! I finished the whole piece of traditional bread pudding~~ it really is infused w/ strong bourbon in the sauce.  Looks like I had way too much Kahlua coffee there~~  ps. I am not an alcoholic...doesn't even come close~~~  ^O^ My girl friends share another dessert - Tiramisu.  I don't normally share dessert if I really had that kind of craving!! I like to have my WHOLE thing for myself! Thanks to Cathy and Vivian that they two are being dragged walking around the town by me! If I had a pair of riding shorts, I would have totally taken on that style and wear it inside my polka dot sheer dress. lol Friends told me that they are shopping inside their wardrobe .... that's really a good thing! But you know, it also means that you should donate some old clothes w...

Bo ss leopard haltered blouse, Kapital cotton blazer, HM wool pencil skirt, black sheer tights, Chanel 10A Rouge/Orange reissue, navy oxford heels.  If I have to go in the office w/ DH, this is what I'd wear at work.  Don't you think this looks conservative, professional and seductive (to my DH since I am work w/ him) all in one!!? ^^ I'd wear anything that delights myself, others ..... and still be appropriate even when I am only doing my grocery shopping! Finally, the debut of Alaia golden lace-up heels!! Romeo n' Julia contour pink dress, Two toned slouchy pocket cardigan, J crew studded belt, mocha knitting scarf, lilith polka dot carry-all bag, Alaia golden lace up heels. I found this dress awful big in size M, so I pinned the bottom hem to make more "bubbly" and "asymmetrical" look! Now let's talk about my two over the top heels!! I found this version of Miu Miu  Studded pump which only has heels paved w/ st...

I am out of words for this Miu Miu pair!! Other than the studs, I love the rough look on this leather!  I have not had the chance to walk around in them but I assume they are as comfortable as my Golden lace-up Alaia heels!!!  I am so happy that I found so many gorgeous heels! I'd wish I were a spider to have 8 legs...haha... ~~ :P  See you later.  xoxo Rachel
