Fashion = Dessert !?

Those yummy macaroons are made by mixing up different kinds of tea w/ other flavors. 

Pink, purple, black and brown (caramel) macaroons. 

Yellow, red and light brown macaroons.


White macaroons are made of Morocco mint + green tea flavor!


Aren't those colorful macaroon looking adorable n' delicious lining up here!! ^^

Thanks to the FOOD industry, I'd pick up whatever delights me at the first sight w/o worrying much of going wrong w/ the choices. 

However, the vagaries of fashion industry would confuse people so much that I sometimes have a hard time understanding the aesthetic underpinning for such a so-called fashionable statement/looks. Ah, perhaps I would categorize those as the eerily work of art to me!:P


Today is the second day as we family are back in USA.  I am trying my best to help my kids cope w/ the jet lag. There are a lot of summer activities awaits for my kids starting next week so I have to make sure they are ready by then!


What's the plan to keep them awake during the day?


Sunshine!!! ^^


A lot of sunshine will keep them awake so we went up to SF city this morning. 

My ODJ. 


1. Top: 

• Vince tank top
• 20,000,000 fragments tweed jacket w/ blue trim

2. Bottom:
J Brand skinny cropped jeans in Khaki 


3. Accessory:

• Sonia Rykiel Swarovski crystal owl brooch as necklace
• BR gold studs belt
• Lilith brown stripes scarf
• San Diego Hat co. tan knitting cap (bought at Wholefoods Market)
• G-shock (orange face) watch (bought when I was in college..... :)) 
• Chanel matte black reissue in 226 

4. Shoes: 
Chole tan/nude ankle wrap flat

w/ Tom Ford Jacqueline style sunglasses

w/ Karen walker Gee Gee in Milky Pink

And I like the unexpected KW pink sunglasses better. 

The shade is actually very dark and you almost can see that brown hue in this wine Christian Louboutin Bianca 140 mm heels. 

This CL Bianca I picked up this morning will never be my first choice if I ever saw her on the shelf. But w/ the sale price and surprisingly elegant and cheerful look than black ones, I'd go for this pair as my wardrobe staple. 

This pair has similar color as YSL's new fall patent wine/purple pumps. 

W/ my ODJ, nice looking. I think!

Ilona is very hyper when we were in SF city.  

She started dancing on the sidewalk when she heart drum/music people played by the street. 

Now, would you please excuse moi!!

z..z...zzzzzz.....zzzzzzzzz

Things to Share!!

Matt and Nat

All handbag made by recycled bottles. Yes, it is pretty amazing, isn't it!!!

I fell in love w/ this bag (Style: Laroux)  at the first sight. It comes in two colors, black and white. Both are equally fabulous. You can't tell it is not real leather at all.

It goes perfectly w/ Bibi's outfit. 
Feminine + Punk = Fabulous!!

(Bibi fell into my trick and bought it, just so I can see it, pat it once a year when I am back in Taipei. ) :P 

Their price is fair .... about $250 for this style!

You can take off the chain and carry it as a clutch. The studs are real metal, I mean solid metal. ^^  

Don't you just love to buy something that's eco-friendly and looking gorgeous for a fair price at the same time!



20,000,000 Fragments
A Japanese brand.  Editor-in-chief of Japanese high-fashion magazine Commons&Sense, Sasaki says: "Good Japanese fashion is either about street style or high fashion, and we have selected the best brands at that."

Base in Tokyo, Japan.

They have pretty young and hip vibe for their tweed jackets.  20,000,000 fragments is one of the Japanese brands that carries a mission to Paris to mix sweet and edgy look all at once.  I can't stand the too "cute" outfit that all Japanese magazines portrayed or perhaps it is just me not suitable :P and no matter what, I am glad that I found this brand. 

I ever had a keen desire to buy another Chanel jacket in lighter fabric, but w/o its exorbitant prices, 20,000,000 fragments give me a peace of mind!! ^^

Stay tuned for the best cocktail tonight...(IMO)!!
