A GREAT BOOTS WOULD LET YOU OFF-THE-HOOK!

I went to superior court today for my traffic violation.  I know this is nothing to be proud of but one police officer did made my day " lighter " while I checked in my stuff for security.  Routinely, I took off my watch, my belt (the 2nd outfit is what I wore to the court in the morning) and my bag and placed them in the box to go through security belt.  But as you might guessed, the alarm sounded/or peeped while I walked through x-ray.... { "Shoot, it must be my Alexander Wang combat velvet boots."...... I was thinking of that  in my mind  why the alert sounded.} When I was about to bend down to loosen the troublesome shoelaces on my boots, I heard one of the police officer said, " No, she is clear. Let her ." And the moment I looked into his eyes "confused", he added, "Oh, I love those boots, those boots are great!!"   Then he said it again to me... {I think the air freezed a sec. there as I could only responded him in a very w...

May I Propound you.....?!

Now I have this very first piece from Etoile Isabel Marant . I love how intricate the ruffle's cutting, layering and how versatile it could be for me to dress up and down. Thanks for its linen-blend silhouette and rusty off-white color!! Officially, I am into this brand.......well, maybe I am late exploring her collection, but this one actually comes in a perfect timing. I will pack it with me and wear it in Taipei. Let me propound the sizing of this blouse as I saw couple dresses left on sale on Net-a-porter and they are HUGE. Size 0 and 1 would be the best bet for normal figure, as my blouse is size 0.

Day 5 (Last Day) in Kauai, Helicopter ride!!

Today is the last day we stay at Kauai, and I think we at least get a taste of what's on this beautiful island!! Next year, we are visiting Big Island and Honolulu(haven't visited there for nearly 10 years) for sure!! =^*^= We leave the last day to ride the Helicopter to overlook the whole island once again which is like a summary to end our trip! Our helicopter won't fly until afternoon, which means we got time to explore more of this island.

Three of us family bought a new pair of sneakers last weekend except hubby and Ilona. Niel and I needed very much as we play tennis and I use my shoes a lot for Zumba and other work-out activities.  Lululemon underpants + Rebook ReeZig. When I browsing today's  Satorialist " On the Street....London Color Story, London"   post, I realized that I have the same color mood  for outfits as people in London....

Life is Sweet. Again!

Today is the 4th day after I have done PRK surgery for my eyes.   As I said, life is sweet ~~ after I went through all the stinging, sore sensation from my eyes' surgery at the first 2 days. I can type just fine now except for slightly blurring vision and you might caught some typo in my blogs.... :P Pardon me here, please!  Everyone has been telling me about it'll all be worthwhile after I have my vision back in a week, a month..... and I am grateful for everything. For having FB , so I can update my status quietly w/o phoning and endlessly chatting w/ my friends whom might find annoying.  I am also so grateful that Cathy and Yu are w/ me yesterday when I am bored to death at home and to be my chauffeur driving me around to pick up kids.  And needless to say, it always feels great to hear my fellow bloggers/readers and friends who also share their personal eye surgery experience with me.  Valentine's gifts from friends~~ Sweet!!! Lastly, "Thanks...

So they can really taste it.......and BE  DUI !!....haha... (Just kidding =) ) Soupe a L'Oignon ...
