Runway to Real-Way-- From Reed Krakoff Look to my Vintage Remix!!
Yesterday when I waited my kids' piano lessons at Los Gatoes, I dropped by Benefit beauty stores to check out this Magic Ink Jet Black Liquid Eyeliner!!
I read Anh's blog about how amazingly easy when applying this liquid eyeliner. I am like her-- While she loves her MAC eyeliner for years, I used to be happy w/ Chanel's automatic liquid eyeliner in black as well. The applicator on Chanel won't clog and you just have to twist the tube to let more black ink flowing out more if you needed. However, I found that sometimes there is almost a drop-full of black liquid coming out from the TIP when I twisted it too many times??? (or should I be more patient and twist it ONCE instead.....I don't know). But hey, who has the whole morning to do make-ups right?!!
I am totally in love w/ this fall look!!

I had this faux leather wrap skirt for thousand years (again, it seems I can open a vintage shop. :P) which I bought at Italy.
I use a safety pin to secure that orange wrap skirt and make a peek-a-poo layer there!
I had two skirts on today. You know, I have done two pants so why not two skirts, right?!! lol Besides, I always want to try something fun and challenge.
Want some accessory?
How about buying local hand-knit scarves! ^O^
They look awesome w/ everything.
Look at those colors, the dots, the stripes and checkers.... they are an instant style upgrade accessories!
Have a good one.

Today w/ Benefit eyeliner......let's see this evening ^^
You know, I have to take my words back saying that Ilona is doing great at school ...but the truth is that she cried pretty hard and loud these past couple days, except the first day!! Well, I guess she suddenly realized that the school is for REAL and she needs to be apart from ME!! :( So today I stayed in the classroom w/ her for 10 mins even though she is still crying for the fear of me leaving next moment which I did, but at least I want her know that I am a very determined mom so she can learn quickly adept herself in every situation when she grows up.
I am totally in love w/ this fall look!!

Nick Verreos Season 8 Project Runway MyLifetime.com Recaps: Episode 6
Bridesmaids Redo, Tupac Drummond, Goiter Peplums, and much more...
Last night on Season 8 Project Runway, the Challenge was to re-make and re-work semi-NASTY Bridesmaid Dresses into hot, chic, sexy outfits that the women could wear out again...The results were mixed: Some worked and some, not so much. First of all, I hope most of these women aren't friends with the actual Brides anymore. Any Bride who would put you in any of these concoctions IS NOT YOUR FRIEND ladies. Just kidding! We suffer anything for a good friend, right?!? Well, at least none of the original Bridesmaid Dresses looked like this:
The Michael Costello Hating continued and it was PRICELESS to see the rest of the contestant's jaws drop when he actually won this Challenge with...
a very Heidi Klum-esque black cocktail dress, perfect for the Red Carpet, or in this girl's case, a night in Manhattan. Also, loved his "Props to Mood Fabrics" t-shirt! They better give him a LIFETIME SUPPLY of tulle for that free advertising!
Also, on this episode: For some reason "The Other Michael", Michael Drummond decided to bring back the Do Rag. Leave that to Tupac huney, may he rest in peace...
Speaking of Michael D., I kinda liked the dress he made for his "muse" Jacleen. The cheap "Mosquito Netting" was ghastly but she looked wonderful and the fit was nice. Plus, the "sisters" were lookin' good! Now for Miss Peach: Bless her Pink Sweater Heart!
It was a mess! The khaki lace, the dimensions, the silhouette and then she put her in those Booties!!! Oh Momma Peach! Leave it to Michael Kors to come up with one of the best one-liners in AGES to describe a dress. Where in the name of GAWWWWD, does he come up with these things???
Halter+Peplum+ Goiter!I leave you with that...(sorry for that nasty photo, but TRUST ME, there are WORSE on the web...
And here's a teaser of my MyLifetime.com Project Runway Recap:
Bridesmaid Runway Wars: Pink Poly, Peplum Goiters and more DRAMA!
Well, kids, it took a while to wash off last week's nasty and stressful team challenge episode where designer Gretchen Jones turned into General Patton Runway and all of her teammates drank her "Just-do-as-I-say" and "Boy, Isn't-Michael C.-such-a-bad-designer/patternmaker/draper/sewer" Kool-Aid. Only a slight (and secretly wonderful) residue of Tim Gunn bi***-slapping them at the end of the episode was left! With that, we begin the next challenge, and one filled with more Michael C.- hatin', lots of fire-igniting polyester and plus-size issues. Let's begin, shall we?.....
To Read the entire Recap, click HERE...and make sure to leave me your comments and what YOU thought!
Honeymoon Vids!
I just finished putting together all the individual video clips from my honeymoon and I thought it would be fun to share them with you guys on here. Some of it isn't very glamourous but that's all part of the fun isn't it! If you're thinking of going to Malaysia, don't expect to be all preened and groomed because 99% of the time you will be trekking through the jungle, sweaty in the cities or finding new ingenius ways to hide all your mosquito and sand fly bites. Saying that, we did have an amazing time and we will definitely be going back someday to explore more places. Some of the camera work is a bit shaky so apologies for that!
