Trend Irrelevant, Fashion Connected!!

My friend, Elfi Altendofer, always makes gorgeous and bold necklaces! I couldn't wait to get my hands on her newest pieces!! ^^  I had her custom-make two necklaces for one with pink beads on safety pin and the other with yellow spacers. The outcome of the looks are intricate and one-of-a-kind luxury!

I always have my own interpretation of edge, fun and urban twisted look, as you know!

  Yu gave me the white butterfly patterned lace legging which is too tight to fit me but my solutions is have the legs cut-off and trim the edges as they now are my arm/leg warmers and thus the "bottom" becomes my "SHORTS" for this look!!!

Yellow spacers and pink,clear,yellow, blue beads, translucent glass-tube on big safety-pins spike necklace.

Life is Sweet. Again!

Today is the 4th day after I have done PRK surgery for my eyes.  


As I said, life is sweet ~~ after I went through all the stinging, sore sensation from my eyes' surgery at the first 2 days. I can type just fine now except for slightly blurring vision and you might caught some typo in my blogs.... :P Pardon me here, please! 


Everyone has been telling me about it'll all be worthwhile after I have my vision back in a week, a month..... and I am grateful for everything. For having FB, so I can update my status quietly w/o phoning and endlessly chatting w/ my friends whom might find annoying.  I am also so grateful that Cathy and Yu are w/ me yesterday when I am bored to death at home and to be my chauffeur driving me around to pick up kids.  And needless to say, it always feels great to hear my fellow bloggers/readers and friends who also share their personal eye surgery experience with me. 

Valentine's gifts from friends~~ Sweet!!!

Lastly, "Thanks" goes to my DH who accommodates his work to assist me while I am not in my best shape.....normally, I am a super mom...hah.... 

All saint leather brocade tail-jacket in smoke, RL silk blouse, BCBG studded belt, Mandarin and General washed silk pull-on pants, Alain warp boots
 

Life isn't perfect, just like my photos here...glare-y~~ which also is how I see things at this point w/ my eyes. Hopefully, my eyes can focus better day by day!! ^O^


Have a good weekend.
