Same vest, different colors and distinctive styles!

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't buy same style nor same color of shoes or clothes. W/ bags, I think it is different story. We girls love colors!! So in our eyes, different shades of bags suit different style of outfits. We would buy one particular style of bags in different shades to match our outfits. Well, at least that's what I do.

Then how come I have two of this particular DVF runway vest in both beige and gray colors? Is it because I like its style or its quality? I would say half of both reasons. I got the "Gray" one in Paris last Nov. and since it is USA brand, I guess it must be cheaper here. I wouldn't know if it is true as I never bother to find out!! Of course I like its style, quality and cannot complain about how versatile this vest can be.

Work as a separated layer and dimension in between !!


Jazz up a understated black dress!


Lighten up dark ensemble while keep me warm!


I almost forgot this ensemble. The vest works as a waist warmer...haha...



After couple months, one of my friend told me that this vest in Beige is on sale for only 1/3 of the price I paid for the Gray one in Paris. Then, a voice of evil told me that I should get another one to justify/balance the price I paid for the other one. I don't know if here in USA only carries Beige color as seen on the runway show while Paris only has the gray one. Either way I am very happy keeping both!!

I sprained my left ankle so I take it easy wearing flat instead of heels for rest of the week.

Re-Create Looks from Marc Jacobs NY Fashion Week!

Hi Beauties!

Happy Tuesday!

While browsing around WWDBeauty, I stumbled across some very dramatic looks featured at the MARC JACOBS fashion show during NY Fashion Week. All of the models in this show sported different hair styles and different makeup looks! How cool is that?! All of the looks were created by NARS COSMETICS.

Anyway, I came up with some colors (from MAC) that could help you re-create these looks. :-)
















To try this look: MAC Danger Zone Trio (mineralized eyeshadow, "Red She Said" collection October 2008)
Lid: Black side of the trim
Crease: Red side of the trio.
Black liner to crease a cat eye.
Hightlight with any color your like. Nude lips!
