Winter, Ski, Christmas, How Fun!!

This year, my winter white is not so WHITE anymore. And interesting thing is that I always wear my winter white w/ reference from Chanel or like this year, another winter white look w/ this HUGE statement piece: Chanel tweed and rabbit fur boots!!

Cable knit w/ whimsical romantic lace skirt!

All the stores are bypassing Thanksgiving and ostentatiously displaying all sorts of Christmas ornaments. Cathy and I already went out for Christmas shopping at Campbell downtown and she got all of us girls very cute ones.....Since I am w/ her so I get to take IT home EARLIER!!! ~~ ^O^

Campbell downtown: Vintage & Vogue



Cathy, you know I wouldn't be satisfied just w/ those two CC ornaments!



When what to my wondering eye should appear?
Snow come and Chanel ornaments hang all over the tree!~ lol.



Love this rusty look sofa and all the pillow throw!



Golden yellow is my Christmas tree's main color!



Those motif gives a symbolic ambiance of FRANCE!



The little Christmas tree inside the bell glass is gifted from Cathy... see that empty photo frame??..... That's reserved for our Italy trip picture after we are back!! 



The Tiffany blue birds side table lamp is gifted by Judy for Ilona!



Ilona: a look w/ mouth full!! ^^



Renee gifted me "02C" Chanel black short sleeves pull-over. (I'd assume it is her treasure hunt way back then~~ ^^)
I have another treasure hunt myself at thrift store couple months ago: 02P camellia vest. I think they are a perfect pair and additionally paired w/ a black pleated skirt.... Voila~ 

Why everyone gifted so early? We are only a vacation AWAY... and we will be back way before Christmas! ^^

I had fun playing w/ my outfit and done some home-decor improvising, now it is time for me to PACK and get ready for Christmas!!


Have you had a Christmas tree yet?
Have a theme for your Christmas tree and have fun w/ it!

Style Crush: Poppy Delevigne

This week's Style Crush is the Poppy Delevigne, a model, socialite and the daughter of the head of personal shopping at Selfridges.  So, right from the start, expectations are high right? I mean, you have to have a clue about fashion when your mum works in the industry.  It would be easy for Poppy to wear clothes right off the catwalk and not put a second thought into it.  To me, that's boring and not very imaginative and in my opinion, too many celebs do that nowadays.  Real style comes from expressing your personality and individuality so how can that be possible when you take someone else's vision, don't add anything of your own to it, then take all the praise for how good it looks?  Harsh but true.

What I like about Poppy is that she mixes designer with high street and vintage pieces.  It takes a keen eye to shop vintage and she definitely has that down to a fine art.  She works colour well and I love her off duty looks.  Her hair and makeup is never overly done and she definitely subscribes to the Sienna Miller, dishevelled, 'less is more' book of rules.

Poppy flirts with both girly and more edgy looks and that works really well with her laid back attitude to her hair and makeup.
