Let's Roll, Bordeaux!!!

These days I often see people carrying red bags on the street. I am not sure if it is because I consciously pay attention to people who carries red bags or it is just everyone is into this red/bordeaux trend. 

Hermes 10' Lindy 30cm in Rubis, Chanel 10' red reissue 226, Alaia 11' laser-cut tote 

In real life, this Chanel bag is more of an unevenly raspberry red. Herems' Rubis has slightly a pink/blue undertone while my Alaia is very much of a true red. 

Blackberry, basil lemonade!.... you really should give it a try!

{I would love to see a red bag with this saturated purple/navy undertone too!!}

My ODJ

Madewell navy shirt with side-buttons, Karen Walker 09' cape shirt, Free people beige/caramel wool hat,  Valentino for GAP 09' cropped pants, Boss orange multiple colored Mary-jane platform, Alaia 11' laser-cut large tote 

{I didn't forget this almost one-of-a-kind Valentino for Gap cropped pants which I bought in Rome last year. I say "almost" is because I know people must still wear it around in Europe but not much here in USA. I still gasp its very dimensional ruffle trims and multiple functional pockets all over!! }

This new Alaia bag is HUGE... I think it is even larger than my Chanel Rodeo Drive large tote. 

Maroon RED + YELLOW!!

Isabel found this Joie leather shorts w/ pleats in front and bought one for me too. Thanks to her!!


I love it very much and I think it has that timeless look which would be another wardrobe staple of mine! ^O^


Isabel also thinks we are undergoing a phase which super short shorts is deemed as inappropriate attire for our age.... (over 30s). Well, I can't quite argue w/ her and I do want to look more sophisticated for the years to come.

Can't stop my girls modeling in front of the camera. 

This is the moment that they are willing to do things that I like to do.  ^O^

What is great about this Joie leather shorts is that....it has that body flattering pleats in the front!

Looking at those pictures of  yesterday and today's outfits, I found there is an coincidence of my ensemble: two dominant colors of Yellow and Maroon.


You know, you really should go through your entire wardrobe couple times in a year to sort pieces out. Otherwise, your laziness and unstoppable buying behavior would left your entire closet defunct.  (I am actually talking to myself here!!:P)
