Packing For London n' Rome n' Milano n' .....

The Giveaway ends today at 12:00 AM pacific time!


I can't seem to make my mind about whether should I pack this Chanel brown tweed tall boots or Miu Miu studded sandal w/ me for our upcoming Europe trip.  It is family leisure solely and I am not attending any fashion event after all. Besides, I can always find something there, can't I!! Wedge, sneakers and boots are probably more practical! 


^^ What'd you say?!! 

military green peace sign tee, Helmut Lang burgundy suede skinny pants, Marni pre-fall 10' cropped jacket, Chanel 10' tweed clog boots w/ rabbit fur 

et Vous grayish brown rabbit fur vest, Ralph Lauren silk blouse w/ ruffle scarf, brown w/ metallic sheen full skirt (gift from Mom), Chanel 10' tweed rabbit fur clog tall boots w/ leather tie


(I'd hope this et Vous grayish vest and full skirt metallic sheen would offset the TOO BROWN of a grizzle bear look.) ^^



How do I prepare my ensemble?
I sometimes doodle~~ (not so professional but intuitive enough for me to foresee the look!)



I can pair turtle necklace, white knit sweater.... n' a pair of Converse sneakers to complete this look!
(this look: PACK)

Chanel short-sleeve pull over, Chanel camellia black n' white vest, HM shoulder applique' cardigan, Falke leggings, black leg warmers, HM beret w/ beads, HM gloves w/ beads, Miu Miu studded sandal platform. 



White hat + Black turban: keep me warm : pack 

Helmut Lang leather/jersey biker jacket, floral felt fedora ; today only ^^

I probably can either pull UP or Down a little big of leg warmers.

w/ Louis Vuitton mini black monogram clutch 06' (I forgot the gloves n' beret upstairs!)



Wedge lace-up boots: Pack (Curtesy image of Balenciaga City) 



I am going to wear this whole ensemble ONBOARD to London!! ^^
Except for Hermes boots which I'd change to another tall boots for me to beat it up instead!


What else should I pack?
Money, credit card... lol.


What do you think?

All the stores are bypassing Thanksgiving and ostentatiously displaying all sorts of Christmas ornaments. Cathy and I already went out for Christmas shopping at Campbell downtown and she got all of us girls very cute ones.....Since I am w/ her so I get to take IT home EARLIER!!! ~~ ^O^

Campbell downtown: Vintage & Vogue



Cathy, you know I wouldn't be satisfied just w/ those two CC ornaments!



When what to my wondering eye should appear?
Snow come and Chanel ornaments hang all over the tree!~ lol.



Love this rusty look sofa and all the pillow throw!



Golden yellow is my Christmas tree's main color!



Those motif gives a symbolic ambiance of FRANCE!



The little Christmas tree inside the bell glass is gifted from Cathy... see that empty photo frame??..... That's reserved for our Italy trip picture after we are back!! 



The Tiffany blue birds side table lamp is gifted by Judy for Ilona!



Ilona: a look w/ mouth full!! ^^



Renee gifted me "02C" Chanel black short sleeves pull-over. (I'd assume it is her treasure hunt way back then~~ ^^)
I have another treasure hunt myself at thrift store couple months ago: 02P camellia vest. I think they are a perfect pair and additionally paired w/ a black pleated skirt.... Voila~ 

Why everyone gifted so early? We are only a vacation AWAY... and we will be back way before Christmas! ^^

I had fun playing w/ my outfit and done some home-decor improvising, now it is time for me to PACK and get ready for Christmas!!


Have you had a Christmas tree yet?
Have a theme for your Christmas tree and have fun w/ it!
