Casual Converse and Sexy Alaia lace-up Golden heels!

My computer crashed yesterday!!!  NO~~~


But thanks to DH that he insisted I should use external hard-drive to organize all my photos... so they are "physically" portable other than keeping on Photobucket.com!!  I as well as can switch computers under any reason w/ a plug-in. He is a guru in computer and I know I don't have to worry a thing when things like this happened!


Those was taken yesterday while I accompanied Cathy to look for her costume. Since it is all about "HER" yesterday, I choose "Converse sneakers" over my other fancy boots/heels!! ^^

1. Top:

Helmet Lang leather/ jersey moto jacket

2. Bottom:

3. Accessory:

I assume all my guests are prepared for tonight's Halloween party. As for me, I have couple things that needs to be done before I put on my costume.... 

We both have been back in this hand-crafted chocolate store in Los Altos couple times within a week.
They have the best Rocky Road (marshmallow w/ chocolate cluster) and big barks of almond w/ milk/dark chocolate clusters!! 


Then we found a newly opened store in the same street - Therapy (they also have another store in Mt. View)

My fave. OWL of everything!($89)



Hobo International vintage inspired purse. ($128)


We are debating will this tiny purse (two zippered compartments) be practical when I am traveling to Italy/London!!





Alaia gold heels w/ lace-up

It takes me a while to swim all my toes underneath the laces......I would refuse to take them off if I already had them on in the future...... lol.


Reasons: 1). so sexy. 2). Too much work to put them back on!! lol.



I will update our guests' costume after tonight and maybe they can be a inspire to you!! ^^


Have a Fun Saturday!!

Weekend Family Fun Time n' I Rock w/ Chanel Tattoo!!

It is very unusual for all of us family wearing sneakers at the same time. Today is an coincidence. 

Daffodil is almost finishing its blossom, right now is the time for tulips...and then Roses in the summer! (I don't know what's the name of this flower I took... :P)

Top: Y-3 white shirt, Splendid quarter sleeves stripes shirt

Bottom: Mango tweed pants

Accessory: Diesel white mesh suspenser

Balenciaga violet part-time 08'

Converse black n' pink ankle sneakers

So, another wardrobe essential is a nice white shirt. Any kind, ruffle, no collar, short sleeves or long sleeves or sleeveless..... get all of them!! ^O^ I think they count into ONE category within 10 wardrobe essentials. ha~

Let's onto Chanel tattoo!!

I have to make sure the pearl bracelet goes all around my arm. So there are 6 patterns I used here. 

Now you know how strong my arm is .... :P. (A bird (w/ that CC logo), single pearl, a long pearl string, two two-pearl strings, CC logo charm. )

Those Chanel tattoo are too precious, I had compliments from men and then a girl asks me where did I purchased. It seems they sold out those tattoos!!

I think I have to give a proper thank-you lunch to Irene for sharing her tattoo w/ me ~~~

Off we went to Santana Row today!!


You know, the last minute shop in farmer's market is not too bad....except you think they don't have anything fresh left for you. However, the chance is they might want to sell you the left-over produce before the market closing and offer you a good deal. 
I bought 6 baskets of strawberry for $8. I think it is a pretty awesome deal. ^O^ 


Have a good Monday.... oh, couldn't wait for spring break comes.
We are flying to Maui, any suggestion? I know we could at least take kids to watch a whale up closer if we are lucky!!!!
