A Break From Blazer + Leggings.

As usual, I planned my outfit nicely but instead of layering and layering which is just my way of wearing most of my clothes, I had only one simple dress on.

To be honest, I did layer one dress over this green vintage fabric dress before I stepped out the house, but decided not to as I remember my acting teacher, Greg, suggested, to keep the outfit simple w/o busy patterns. :)

So, as usual again, I went to my acting class in SF city this morning. The class is fun except my teacher, Greg, messes up my video tape w/ my classmate when doing recording so I can't watch my part of act until I switch it over. :O

Ok, back to my ODJ!

2. Shoes: Custom National oxford heels
3. Accessory:

• Chanel Rodeo Drive large tote 08
• H & M grayish taupe big knitting scarf
• Brown tight w/ mini orange dots
  
• Two textured (leather w/ croc. embossed) belt

I personally love the belt spices up this plain bubble hem dress a little more w/ character and edgy details.


I think tights always compliment w/ oxford heels. :)


W/o leather jacket, the look is less intimidating!! :P

The color of my today's outfit reminds me this pic. taken in Paris last year.

You see, I can suffer myself from getting cold but couldn't allow my look of that day got ruined. hahaha...
The look of cardigan + tights + scarf at 18˚C in Nov. of Paris!!

I have couple blazer + leggings(tights, skinny jeans,pants) planned for next week and will continue that until I run out of ideas or you girls get sick of them. haha......

Then I am thinking of doing cardigan or knit wear combination for the next challenge if the weather cooperates. :)

Ok, I am back to catch up Gossip Girl. :P Oh, in my age, I think I am getting a little shy to admit that I love the show .... I think there is an huge age gap in between those teenagers and their fancy moms and rich dads in the show. I don't think my status would fit in that show at all but guess I am learning my kids' language, thinking, difficulties, fantasies,..etc. for the future reference. hee......

Good nite, girls!!

MUFE, Nars and New Clothes

As I had mentioned in a previous post, I ordered some MUFE and Nars products and they arrived on Friday so here's what I got... MUFE Mat Velvet + Foundation, MUFE Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Concealer, Nars Albatross Highlighting Powder and Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. The only products I have used so far are the MUFE concealer and Nars Albatross powder which are both amazing and I will go into more detail in my next post with a FOTD. I am really excited to try the Nars foundation since so many people have been raving about it recently. I've never tried any Nars foundations before so this will be interesting.

I also wanted to share with you some of the clothes I picked up on Monday...A matte sequin blazer from Warehouse...I hadn't been too keen on the really sparkly sequin blazers around as I knew I wouldn't get that much wear out of it. However the fact that the sequins on this blazer are matte, it makes it alot more wearable and a bit more muted. I love the three quarter length turn up sleeves too!

I spotted these peep-toe court shoes in Next and knew I had to have them...from the encrusted embellishment on the front, to the ribbed detail to the platform, they'll be perfect teamed with the blazer above.

Next up, I spotted this floaty chiffon dress in Dorothy Perkins and when I tried it on it sits perfectly just above the knee. It's a light beige/cream colour but doesn't show up well on camera. It could be dressed down with some black tights and a cute cardigan or dressed up with my sequin blazer and platform heels. I love the print on this dress too...so pretty!

I also spotted these purple shoe boots in Dorothy Perkins which would look good with skinny jeans or dresses.

Did you pick up any gorgeous pieces of clothing lately? If not, what's on your wish list?
