Ferry Building Fun ...... What A Eye Candy Day!!

I said it, somehow I am loving "black" back these days.....it must be the trend or designer's collection made me think the BLACK color is the new "Statement" color.

I start wearing my Y-3 sneakers which I never wear unless I am going to the gym. Plus, I don't even do jogging since it bored me to death. lol Sneakers to me is more like an accessory than an activity essential!!

We went to Ferry Building in SF city and had a blast there.........all of us had a treat by the city today!!

My ODJ.

1. TOP:

• ZARA striped shirt
• So Nice black vest w/ sheer trim (Taiwan brand)
  

2. BOTTOM: Pleated skirt from my mom
3. Accessory:

• Sea-grass Fedora hat
• Fallon brass cross/glass necklace (Barnes New York)

The necklace is featured in BAZAAR "Best summer buy in July".

I like to layer my two necklaces together for a more unique look.

• 

• Ferburge limited ed. blue enamel/sapphire cross necklace
• Y-3 black sneakers
• navy degraded socks
  
• Chloe sunglasses
• Chanel 09 s/s black bow w/ cc dangle earrings
• Chanel 08 s/s black rodeo drive in large w/ perforated lambskin
  

I know, my bang looks funny cause' I cut it myself....hopefully, it will look natural after couple days. haha...


I normally spend 1 hour to get dressed for myself then it leaves me not much time to dress up for my 3 kids. It doesn't mean that my kids don't wear nicely when we family going out together, it is just that I need extra effort to unify our family look w/o bargaining w/ my kids about what to wear.

But I thought today is the day, that I have extra energy to unify our look. I even have to sweet talk to my DH to wear the same pattern shirt w/ us. did you notice that this is the first time that all 5 of us wear a family uniform...striped shirt!!!!!!




This is a pretty funny guy sitting on a fake plane!!! How cute is his smile!!!


See, make sure you train your kids well and you make them do the work---pushing the stroller!!!


The sea grass hat really is an accessory too......eventually, I had to carry an umbrella for the sun!!


This will be my Halloween costume, I guess!!



We saw so many scene like this topless or barely-wore young, pretty girls in the city today. I am suddenly feeling so "ALiVE" again!!! :P


These two elderly ladies are TWINs and you can tell from behind too. You know, I am so moved when seeing they are walking and growing old together !!


Across street from Ferry building has flea market every Tue. Thur. and Sat. so I bought couple art prints when walking all the way to bloomingdales. The artist gave me her hand-carved artichokes mold after I bought two limited prints from her. I am feeling so so so honored and had to ask her to sign at the back of her original mold.



I think you know why did I buy that strawberry print!!! :)


We had yummy crepes at food court of bloomingdales before we walked back to Ferry building and end our day at Osha Thai restaurant!

Menswear Collections--Spring 2010--Highlights and Runway Videos!!

Cowboys, Hot Camp Counselors, Italian Gigolos and Ripped Bleached Jeans...

It's Menswear Fashion Week!!!!

DSquared2:For Spring 2010, the Dsquared2 twins came up with a rompy "Camp" theme--not the kind of camping you used to do with your family however. This is "Going Camping" on another level! Lots of skin, lots of hot Fantasy Boy Scouts, and the sexiest Camp Counselors I've ever seen--My camp counselors at the Summer Camps I went to NEVER looked like this! Come to think of it, I never even went to a Summer Camp!If they did, I would have gone more often! Lots of shorts, boxers showing from under the shorts, torn-and-worn jeans, Wellies and Hiking Boots, and those ubiquitous Trucker Caps. When someone like Ed Hardy does Trucker caps, they look DOUCHEY, somehow, the Dsquared trucker caps still look HOT!

DSquared Spring/Summer 2010 Video (Highlights):

D & G:

For their lower "Contemporary" line, D & G, the Dolce & Gabbana boys were in a Western mood for Spring/Summer 2010. Sexy, slim cowboys, Western shirts fitted to a 1/4" of their fat-free male model bodies, cowboy boots worn inside out. This is the sexy Italian version of "Brokeback Mountain". And again, it's all about those torn/ripped and bleached-splashed jeans. I feel like I am back in 1984---and I kinda like it!

D&G Menswear Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Video:


Dolce and Gabbana:For their luxe high-end namesake line, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, continued on what they know how to do: Dress an Italian Gigolo. For Spring 2010, the silhouette was lean and mean (not a surprise). Elongated blazers (a departure from the current trend of cropped ones) are de rigueur for Dolce & Gabbana. But what the designers did show cropped were the pants. Gentlemen, you will be rolling and pegging your pants come next Spring/Summer. No socks and gorgeous Italian loafers. Yeah, it's Band-Aid time for the back of your feet kids! The show starred Madonna's latest boy toy, Brazilian model Jesus Luz--who was the second "exit" in the show-- wearing black "hot shorts" and a very open black shirt. Bless his heart, he can't walk the runway to save his life (he's rather bowl-legged, see video below), but huney, he looked HOT!

Playsuit?

I can't believe it is 28oC in London! It is so hot and sunny, that in true English style everyone has stripped off to the bare essentials, and who am I to question it? Although I am really not a fan of over sharing ie. flabby men walking around with their tops off (why oh why must they subject us to the sight of their beer bellies?) this is the one time I would agree that girls can get away with showing legs and a bit of decolletage during the day while still looking cute.

Today I am off to the park to catch some sun, with my trusty garnier SPF30 in hand, as no amount of tan is worth risking sun damage. Since playsuits are such a hot trend this summer, and perfect for running around in this weather, I wanted to customise this trend and make it my own. I chose this playsuit (from ASOS) for its feminine floral design, that really lends itself to a skirt or dress. I also like the fitted bra top, which has a 50's feel to it with its curved stitching. It is 97% cotton, with 3% elastane so keeps you cool, while having a bit of stretch for comfort. The back is also ruffled which helps it fit in all the right places and not feel too stiff, as can often happen with all-in-ones as it is difficult to create a flattering shape that will fit everyone.
What do you guys think of playsuits? Will you be wearing one this summer?
