Winter is never been this colorful and playful!!

After painting the soffit of my kitchen green, I found myself a new color frenzy. So now I am in a phase of being crazy about green. It all starts from my sage green hairband which I intended to cover my two blisters at forehead. { Can I say that I am Self-inspired by that? }

The color palette is sure more colorful than ever on this season's runway and I am glad that we have so many options to dress ourselves in colors in winter time!!

Yesterday I was trying a cape/poncho from J Crew but since this style is secondly marked down, they really don't have many sizes left to choose from. Therefore, I tried on size Medium and didn't like the slouchy drop around my shoulders so I passed it. {It really is a great deal of additional 30% off from current $99.}

The Herringbone pattern is nice and always a classic.

I want to complete my houndstooth Marc by Marc Jacobs green dress look with an oversized clutch. However, all I have is green one from Zara which wouldn't work in this outfit so I decided to make my own version to make it work.

Here I hook Louis Vuitton straps onto my Givenchy studded Tinhan hobo and make the shape more squared as messenger style. ... now I love it!!

My original outfit

Past season but always classic houndstooth Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, green headband, black tights, (my new Tinhan messenger bag), Charlotte Olympia 11' velvet cat face wedge platform, Lu Lu Frost for J Crew necklace and matching earrings, Prada s/s 11' minimalist cat eye sunglasses

I didn't go home with empty hands.... this J Crew harvest tweed Cape Capri is a perfect playful fall pants for me.

I actually don't have to alter the hem of this houndstooth dress as I only need to pin it in one inch to make the juxtaposition perfect!!!

{Do you think the look is very resemble to Marni's runway look?}

Be bold, be fun, be playful with your winter look.

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1.
