Yellow + Navy = Stylish!!

Hubby and I had a date this evening and all went well!! He got back from his business trip from Denver one day earlier.  I guess he really missed us very much that he couldn't spend one more day away!

There were a lot of things going on between us the past couple weeks but like I said to myself: "There are a lot of distraction in our life, we just have to sort things out cleverly!!"

I had a cocktail mixed with orange juice which is perfect to match my navy glitter nails. 

I would color my whole body to match my clothes if I could..... ^O^ {Tattoo is the least thing I'd ever want to have it on me though.} 

My outfit du jour


1. American Apparel 3D mesh roses sweater
2. H&M high waist cropped trousers 
3. LTD Chanel 08' metallic navy striped reissue 227 
4. Crazy dog wooden necklace (bought at "Bettina" boutique in SF city)
5. Crochet swirl baret
6. Christian Louboutin damask striped heels with knot

I also wear gold glittering eye shadow from MAC, and Laura Mercier gold/yellow glitter eyeliner to match my navy bag. 

You can wear striped trend anyway you like!

No sweat!

Yesterday I finally bumped into my SA from Nordstrom shoe salon. 

What's the urge? I have to personally convey my million-thanks to Him for holding up that Christian Louboutin Damask knotted peep-toe platform heels for me and for as long as he can till it goes on sale. ^O^ Having a good relationship w/ your SA can only do you good, capish!!!!

DH and I had a movie/lunch date during the day while kids are all gone at school. How luxury for parents of 3 of us!! ^O^ And as I promised, no sweat by looking at my picture and no sweat of pulling off the look of either pencil skirt or skinny jeans!! 
 

Yes, little by little, I am decorating our goofy Halloween decor. on the wall and in the house. 

w/ D & G ribbon leopard pencil skirt and LV clutch. 

Why do I end of having these two looks in one day?

My version of sexiness and DH's version of sexiness.

As you probably figured that DH prefers "butt-hugging" skinny jeans instead of "butt-hugging" pencil skirt!!lol

Orange is MY All Year Round Color!

So, if you still don't have any idea of how to wear "SHORTS" into fall, here are two pictures to stir up your brain cell a little more!! ^O^

Leather "high-waist" flared shorts 

(don't get the one that's super short and super tight...that just doesn't look right for F/W time)

MY ODJ.

I am quite lazy these days as I skip my eyeliner ... but since I don't have HUGE eyes to BLING, I can't skip my lower eyeliner!!

TRY THE TRICK: If you only do the middle lower eyeliner to match up the "diameter" of your black pupil, it actually POPS OUT your eyes more for you. ^O^

Can you see that only lower center has black eyeliner!! 

(Completed w/ Anna Sui orange blush, YSL LTD lip-stick, Cover girl vibrating mascara)

There are two tiny shoulder patches underneath this Humanoid orange 3/4 sleeves tee.

I love this particular shade of orange and that's why I bought this Humanoid tee.

C C California long vest 

Tory Burch water washed skinny jeans

URBN metal chain w/ metal bead necklace 

Christian Louboutin Damask fabric knot heels

Chanel 09' beige medium/large classic flap w/ gold HW

I miss-buttoned this CC California long vest to make it ruched and a better suitable length for my look!

BUT I cheated... I wore my Stella Luna Zabra print bow flat out w/ kids today!! :P

My verdict: There is always another pair of shoes would go w/ your outfit!! 

GET INSPIRED!!?

Pluralism.

No, I don't wear jeans a lot and neither am I a big fan of jeans look.  I know perhaps I could count the days I actually wear jeans out in a year! ^^ But as far as the style goes, I do own more than 10 pairs of different styles of jeans. What can I say, jeans are every girl's wardrobe staple.

I would say I have a great pluralism in terms of styles. I wear boho, edgy, country....... any day I want and taken granted as I don't have to wear suits to work during the weekdays! lol I know, to pick up a suit/look for work could be a hassle just like my two daughters spend so much time picking up their dresses every morning in a very pressed time. But things are going to change when they goes to private kindergarten school. That way, I won't have to struggle w/ them and try to alter what they have chosen anymore. :P Oh, right, that's one of the reasons I put my girls to private school. haha...~ I am a devilish mom. 

My gals and I had a lunch date in Santana Row!!

One of the trinkets I hunted to jazz up my look. 
metal chain w/ bead necklace from URBN (urban outfitter) $38!
They are super chic and made in China!! 

I bought the watercolor tank from Anthropologie yesterday. 
They are $39.95 sale price, made in UK.

It has been a while that the last time I carried my Chanel matte white reissue 227 out.
