Strawberry Loves to Dance....

I haven't written much these days on my blog but I am updating every single details of my life on FB. It is just so much fun when you can share stuff with friends so quickly at FB. I don't do tweeting but maybe I should. Oh well, life is busy enough~~~ ^O^ J Crew last year sweater, Charlotte Olympia cat face black pump, L'agence black silk shirt, Marni 2012 necklace, vintage Theory sequins mini skirt, MARIMEKKO polka dot socks, Prada woven clutch.  Prepare your holiday looks.  xoxo Rachel

What's your fresh look for holidays?? Red, neutral, glittering sequins.....as long as you try to stay away from the black and be comfortable of what else you are in, your looks is always refreshing.  I love sequins and I almost always wear sequins during holidays and I think it brings up my most holiday mode ever!! What about you?? Enjoy a holiday mode!!  Be honest and be yourself.  xoxo Rachel 

Happy Holidays~~ Have fun with all your shiniest outfit! xoxo Rachel 

You will never go wrong with a good combination of a cozy Sweater and leather skirt!! It's not fashion, it's classic forever!! Alexander Wang red tank, Emporio Armani asymmetrical sweater, Vintage leather skirt (bought in Italy), Wolfed patterned stocking, Miu Miu studs heels (past season), Chanel matte white reissue 227 (past season)  Happy December! xoxo Rachel 

I did a face-lift for those past-season pieces, as a matter of fact, I only paired them in whole new different ways for a fresher look. The reason is I know my closet is full and I really need to be very selective when buying new pieces from now on. With the crazy Black Friday Sales going on, I figured that I better inject myself with some hot and trendy looks before I head out.  This way, I won't end up buying things that I might already have but just simply fall into the trap that I want something newer while trotting around in the city. ^O^ Don't you think it is a pretty good mind-setting strategy??!!  Celine leather biker jacket green 2012, Charlotte Olympia venetian mask suede/leather heels  Cotelac Mongolia sheep fur, Charlotte Olympia suede venetian mask heels Have fun on the holiday weekend.  xoxo Rachel 

I am a sucker for prints and high fashion designers. Anything in intricate prints, luxe. fabric and details catch my eyes instantly. After Dries Van Norten, I found myself another designer to watch: Manish Arora . I can't wait to get my hands on his pieces. Unequivocally in lust.  MANISH ARORA + HAPPY SOCKS  Manish Arora Spring 2013 Happy Holi ~  xoxo Rachel 

I am an ambitious-driven woman so even now I am Mother of 3, I still have my own passion. Not just for fashion, I do modeling and acting. So when people ask me what do I do for living, I tell them, a house-keeper, a model and an actress. Yes, that's the moment, I am so proud of myself and that's the moment my family is so proud of me.  Every woman should have a passion of their own, no matter what kind of passion is, no matter how much revenue that passion generate, as long as you are happy and you are confident. Be inspired and inspire more people around you.

I love high waist pants and skirts, for me, they are such classic pieces to accentuate a slim body. No matter pants or skirts, they add instant retro chic look; For more glamourous outcome, I paired my outfit with another arty necklace. Like I said, looking for a modern retro look, you always have to add a fun accessory.  Voilà~ Madewell cobalt blue tee, Carven blazer, LoRak banded high-waisted skirt, Charlotte Olympia cat heels, Marni fall 2012 necklace

It is sweater season .... and I love both sweaters and sweat-shirts but never want to look sluggish in them. Besides, the wardrobe required in my most auditions, they request me to dress hip and casual.  In order to achieve that look, I really pick the pieces that's not so plain and give myself a nice pop. Of course, don't want to over kill by a look. What about you? Are you going to auditions like I do? I would love to have you share with me about how do you dress yourself up for auditions and give me some pointers. ^O^  Contrasting collared shirt, J Crew color block sweater, Agnes' b pants (altered with contrasting side panel), Valentino rock stud loafer, h for Harris quilted bag  A.L.C beaded sweat shirt, Aqua by Aqua skirt, leather Converse with Joey Found hand-embellished studs, h for Harris quilted crossbody bag.  I am so busy these days with all the auditions in the city.... finally today I finish early and had the luxury to strut around in...

I will shoot a scene for a small story/film at Lake Chabot on Thursday. Will you check out the website or Facebook at thelightedbridge.com when you get a chance? It's an interesting story and I like it a lot. Be cozy, and have fun with your sweaters and knit top.  xoxo Rachel

What does comfortable ensemble mean to me? Hum... something cotton, something silk and definitely something still looks stunning on me when put together. When I found something flatters me, I wore it a lot...a lot in a way that I wore it couple or several days in a roll. I pair it in so many ways that my friend can never forget I have that piece of clothes that I treasure so much. ^O^ Simply, I feel it and they'll see it too.  If you ever receive compliments on a particular color or any outfit, wear it more often. That will not only give you a good mood but also boost your confidence. So why not wear it more often, right? I am a sucker for any shade of green given at current state and I am surprised that this Dries Van Noten printed blouse is so versatile that I can also pair it with my Topshop forest green shorts I found at Barcelona last year.  Aren't we all tend to buy the clothes in similar colors over and over again? But I am glad that my wardrobe is not filled with bla...

The temperature dropped a little these couple days in San Francisco.  As far as I am concerned, I really like the cool air right now but not to the point the wind feels chill when blows on the face.  People start layering their scarves on the street but what really excites me is I finally get to take out our pumpkins and small decorations for the house. Inviting, is what I want for my friends to feel and holidays, is what really gets my mood lifted!! ^O^   Marni sleeveless blouse, black 3 quarter sleeves tee, Carven sleeveless trench, Celine red pants, Dior quilted patent booties, Alaia laser-cut tote, Oscar de la Renta belt, Ben Amun gold feather collar  Prada acetate sunglasses  Dries Van Noten runway 2012 blouse, Mcginn cropped tuxedo jacket with vest, Y-3 big pocket cropped pants, Charlotte Olympia wedge, Chanel classic reissue 226, Hermes ultraviolet leather bracelet 2012 Have a holiday mood. xoxo Rachel 

As a fashion devotee, I love runway looks. And as far as personal style is concerned, there is no better way to observe and do experiment by trying different looks until one day you are confident and comfortable in every outfit you put together. Certainly, it takes time and it takes practice and learning.  I would say i have pretty good sense of dressing myself up and a strong personal style, but in acting, I am not as lucky as native English speakers.  There is always a struggle for me to have the first instinct with each line I am reading. Sometimes I feel that if I am reading Chinese, I could have done a better job in acting. Well, but again, life will not be so interesting and challenging if I could do everything so easily. Anyway, it is still a long journey for me in acting but I am doing it and most importantly, I am enjoying it. Just like one of my teacher said, going each audition is like doing a job already. There is no need to be nervous since you are supposed to be ...
