Yes, I couldn't agree more what fellow reader/blogger, Connie's. comment. What differentiate my blog from rest of the fashion blog is that "my fashion constantly evolves with my life style". A stay home mom tries to keep up everything w/ what's going on in the world.
Ah...sounds cliche? lol But seriously, it is not easy.
We are taking kids to Lake Tahoe next whole week w/ Irene's family. We avoid the crowd on Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday on 17th on purpose. I did way too much grocery shopping last week and I am trying to clean all the inventory in our fridge. You probably think I could store the food in the freezer and there is nothing to be bothered by. Well, I guess I could but I am really an eccentric that I hate the idea of "stock-up". ( I don't stock up my cosmetic product neither.) Overly stock up things and let it rot is as sinful as throw it away. I despise a crowded freezer, fridge or even pantry so if we ever being locked up in our house, we would starve to death in less a week. lol.
My solutions to overflow grocery? ..... cook them! ^^ I did 4 dishes dinner and even made one dessert tonight.
Carrot, broccoli, tofu, asparagus...w/ oyster sauce vege stir fry!!
My kids' favorite: Bean curd w/ sliced pork stir fry!
Sweet Kung Pao chicken.
Coconut shrimp. ( It is covered w/ shredded coconut not Panko-the bread crumb.)
Inspired by Banana Flambe the other day~~~ I decided to make myself one w/o the rum.
Fried Banana w/ ice cream. (I know, the shape looks weird. But I am quite satisfied w/ the taste considering this is my first attempt.)
DH can't believe I didn't share a bite w/ him... :P
Ooh la la~~
(There are carrot, asparagus, tofu, broccoli, bean curd, pork, chicken, onion, shrimp.... and banana, you know how much cutting and cleaning being involved.)

A little connoisseur of mom's cooking~ ^^
"Cook's frying powder" is the magic ingredient behind a crispy banana batter.
Sos Plum (plum sauce) and the sweet garlic dipping sauce is what makes no-hassle sweet Kung Pao chicken. I am lazy to do the measurement of soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, wine, ketchup......today.
The whole outfit is inspired by Bottega Veneta mesh fingerless gloves!
I think the mesh made the rose looks..... prickly. Maybe?
Peter Som Mongolian Fur Muffler
I thought I'd never have the guts to wear this vibrant fur.....
Halston Heritage
It seems "pleats" are a fun element this season.
Valentino
This is the best look among all the fashion images. (IMO ^O^) Plus, I can rock my TOPSHOP shorts the whole summer again~~
We are leaving on Tue. and there are still a lot to COOK in our fridge.....I think I can pack lunch boxes on the way to Lake Tahoe. ^^

What's my ODJ today?
(Yes, I cook w/ this whole ensemble ... oh, I did take off the gloves eventually while I need to get messy w/ fingers to rub those batter onto the chicken and shrimps.)
No worries, those clothes are past more than two or three seasons except the accessories.

We lust for fashion unnecessarily but we inevitably need great food everyday! After done cooking, now I am indulging myself back in fashion again. ^O^
