This and That......

"Sequins" is like leopard pattern, a forever piece if you wear it right!!  Keep the whole look simple is the key. {Of course you might play the game differently if you are going to Las Vegas, right?! } 


The Dolce & Gabbana look is from Aug. fashion magazine which totally reminds myself my cheap sequined legging from Romeo & Julia. { bought at Loehman} 

Realway Vs. Runway!

Today my girl friends and I went out for lunch and to get together for my birthday. I couldn't believe my eyes as their personal style just got better and better and most importantly, I love all the gifts they picked for me. ^O^ {Yeah, this is the evil side of me when only think of myself.} But seriously, they are willing to have photos taken and under one condition: Make sure they all look pretty! {Hooray!!} 

On Pei: Zara top, Celine "Box" camel bag. She is very vintage-y look today. 

{The facial expression on her just earned her another 10 points..... 99 pts. lol.} 

Ben Amun {There is more intricate version on the blog.}



Always think outside the box, then your necklaces can be very versatile! As a headpiece or bracelet or you can even wear it on your shoulder!! {Necklace from BCBG Max Azria }



left to right: J crew bracelet, then both momo's March bracelets

The color punch! {I think I am trying to do "Byzantine style" there}

We girls are very true to ourselves and to each other when we are bosom friends. That's such a blessing, right?!!


Be true to yourself first!

End of Summer Sandals.

I hope you all prepared for new school year.... moms for kids and students for themselves. Others for their annual bonus!! ^O^   I guess we won't have a small vacation before our Italy trip in October then.

I feel that I have to plan kids' schedule smartly so I will have time left for myself, for them and still get to have a restful weekend!! However, I am hardly punctilious about their school work but more of my childrens' manners. I think that's my #1 rule of cultivating my children growing up.  Agree?

Last weekend, I put away couple summer tops that I think I won't be wearing them anymore. And soon I'll have to store away temporarily this Chole sandals until next year.... unless I can incorporate socks w/ this sandals to make it works for fall.  We'll see then. 

My birthday is around the corner and I can't believe that I can't find a decent Chanel bag for $3000 anymore. ~~ *sigh*  

Any suggestion, girls? What would you be willing to spend on for $3000? 

See how much I like this orange tee.
