Tartan+Checker ; Cape+Poncho!

  We all anticipate Lanvin x H&M collaboration could come sooner!!  It will be happening Nov. 20th. By then, I will be in Rome and not sure if I could find myself a H&M store there!

  I finished the school volunteer job by 10 AM and felt great about it since we had a good time w/ all the students in my son's class. Then after I got out of the classroom, I realized it is way too warm for me to keep this poncho on...anyhow, I had to shade it off! Inside the poncho is my beloved big knit sweater which I adore it very much. 


  As for tomorrow, I guess I won't be wearing my winter white outfit just yet... it is going to be 70 degree F.  I am going to show some arms and legs then!  ^^

  

I love pleated skirt and I think I have 5 pleated skirts in total. I bought this asymmetrical wide pleat one from Japan! (can't really see from the picture though.)




Those bubbly vintage beads looks very refreshing against mustard/gray poncho!

This brown lace-up wedge is so comfortable and versatile... $59 found at Loehmann's and couldn't be happier w/ it! ^O^



Chanel beige medium/large classic flap and Cathy's Balenciaga 10th Anniversary metallic black city exclusively for NM !


Let's talk about fur ~~~ ^^

This is what I should do~~~ 
Trade this Pole bear Burberry shearling coat ($2195) for ~~~

   

Chanel Grizzly bear brown and black tweed/rabbit fur tall boots. ($1695) 



I think I can live in the CAVE all by myself and hunt for living~! lol. 

  Have fun on Wednesday, you all deserve it!

Cable Knitting Part I !!

I am a texture snob, or Color snob that I rarely buy solid color or plain clothes.  I guess my life is simple enough that I'd love to stir things up a little bit. ^O^

I bought two exact skirts over the weekend.... for myself and I think my friend, Ann, is going to look great in it! ^^



I don't know what to wear w/ this same fabric made belt yet... I bought it because it is plain "cute"!! 



Love my Barton Perreira cat-eye sunglasses



DH and I went up to the SF city today! He can't believe that we went up to SF city 3  consecutive days whilst he used to forbid driving me there. ^^

I found this big loop sleeves cardigan at Haynes st. yesterday before taking my kids to do trick-or-treat. It is slightly big for my frame but I am liking its' big loop knits so much that I think I will be able to work it w/ my WINTER WHITE 2010 look on Thursday!! (if the weather coordinates!) 

Here is the link to my Winter White 2009 look! That look was inspired from Chanel 09' Runway!

Irene said that I look like a big bird w/ that "feather-like" sleeves...&^%$#*(&^^



Cute knit could cozy me up in England and Italy!



I will show you the whole outfit ....... later!


I have to do my monthly volunteer job - book reading at Niel's school on Tuesday!


No big bird looking tomorrow.. lol.
