The return of the backpack

The best advice we can give...

Loves

Denim never goes out of style! Summer, Autum, Winter, Spring- tee it up with a crisp white shirt or a cool band tee and you'll be rockin it up in style :) Or, be brave and try 'double denim'!
The little black dress, the tweed suit, the quilted leather handbag and the first-ever designer perfume- these are just some of Chanels lasting contributions to the fashion industry. Snob beleives that these amazing leather boots will be another show stopper, as they will liven up any look you put them with. Try this look with a short vintage style summer dress or for the colder days... black tights under a skirt or pair of black leather shorts! We love them!...and if only we could afford them :(
She has graced the covers of French, Australian, German and Spanish Vogue, Flair, Elle, Allure and Numero...and has walked the runways for nearly every major designer out there. Her name is Erin Wasson, a model, but more importantly a fashion icon.
In the words of Alexander Wang- "Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing"

In the mood for leather

The fashion front row...

Fashion week all over the globe see's big designers putting on show their latest masterpirces and fashion forward creations for the world's eyes to see. While the camera's at the end of the runway are snapping those new and exciting looks on some of the most beautiful women in the country, the camera's are also snapping those sitting in the front row. These people inlcude celebrities, stylists, V.I.P 's, editors, socialites (Olivia Palermo and Ivanka Trump) and in the latest trend...bloggers! Today it is not all about your new collection walking the runway, but who is sitting on the sidelines...

 


      

Ready to go ANYTIME!!

The other day when our accountant couple came to our house, the husband asked:  "Why do I looked so dressed-up even at home?!!" 


Yes, I always do, don't I!!? ^^ 


Especially we just got home by the time we had a meeting w/ them.  I ever said that I don't have time to change since I am always on-the-go and the time I do stay home is because I have to blog or the minute before the meal time. :P


The husband:"What about the greasy, oily smell gets on the clothes??" 


Again, he must not already read my blog. :P I said, "I'd buy new clothes anyway or put them into dry-clean....... Besides, I am not a 3-year-old and my cooking skill is not lousy after all!!" hahaha...




No particular plan for us last long weekend except for booking hotels, buying air tickets for our Italy and London trip during Thanksgiving in Nov. !! DH said that we have to travel "LIGHT" this time.  I replied: "Oh, sure, I KNOW, I KNOW, of course!!" heehee... I bet you are aware of that too!!! lol


Saturday
We went to the Shoup park in Los Altos first then Half Moon Bay in the late afternoon to avoid the crowd.

The bib necklace turns out quite versatile since it can really jazz up otherwise too plain top and add depth/interest to the outfit!
