Colorful Stripes!!

I bought this rainbow-colored striped tank from a boutique called 'SWAY" in Santa Cruz!! It is only $20, the best deal for the hottest trend ever. ^O^

This seem-to-be cropped striped tank is a perfect match for this HM high-waist crop pants. 


The back view of this tank is very alluring~~ 


("Bianca" is the most comfortable and elegant looking heels among CLs I had tried so far....oh, other than "simple" pump. )




 This aged used-to-be blazer from Zara now a "vest" still have my love!! ^^

Don't forget my previous post of $100 SHOPBOP GC giveaway!

Confidence! Because of my Miu Miu Platform?

Interesting thing I noticed these days is that even though my current vision is still not-so-perfect, now I actually feel myself "more me and confident in the pictures" whenever I am in front of the camera. 
I guess since I can't be sure whatever in front of me, I just do whatever my best could be!!! (Does this sound like a murmuring here? =))

My ODJ.


Today Fedex comes w/ my Miu Miu leather wedge platform.... I am so so content w/ its color and the wooden platform. Not in a bright blue but a ... hum... Pei commented: Like a pair of Vintage Blue jeans' BLUE.  
Exactly~~
(Maybe it looks brighter in those pictures though.)


1. Top:
J Crew shirt 
J Crew nude/beige school boy blazer (2011)


2. Bottom:
HM high waist, big pocket pants


3. Accessory:

(Bag: I still carry my past season Bottega Veneta white tote as messenger all day long.) =)


4. Shoes:
Miu Miu blue calf leather platform wedge (2011)



I guess my vision is not yet recovered fully...my Miu Miu~~








I love a good quality of the furniture...oh, no, wooden platform, the polish finish of the coating on the wood. 

Ok, good soul comes from good food!! I said that!! ^^

I cook dry scallops into two dishes. (Of course, first you have to soak them into water for couple hours and hand slice them into thin strips.)

1.) Fresh baby scallops n' dry scallops fried rice (Dry scallops have a special aroma that missing in fresh scallops.)

I add asparagus, onion ( You sweat them until they are almost caramelized.), and scramble eggs. 

The trick is I don't season it myself. (You could, just sesame oil, some soy sauce, and white pepper and dash of sea salt if you desire) Instead, a store bought Garlic Seasoning did all the perfect taste for me. 

2). Chinese Broccoli w/ dry scallops

Just because I don't like leftover "ingredients", I saute' these two things together. ^O^ First, saute dry scallops then Chinese Broccoli and add couple spoon water to steam until the broccoli is tender. Ah... the salt, white pepper or a bit sesame oil (not necessary) , and Voila' ~

Cook yourself some good meal, would you?!!

Scribble Scrabble n' A Wow from Jason Wu 2011 Collection.

First of all, I think I am pulling my legs of forward-looking at 2011 runway Fall's collection while summer is yet to come and I already had a long list of "wanted" things for s/s. The New York Fashion week started and I can only stump my feet and am regret the fact that I can't go since I just had my PRK eye surgery. ~*sigh*~


Good news is that I can have eye bandage removed next Monday and my vision is slowly stabilized (hopefully less a month). Meanwhile, I will have my acting courses start tomorrow. How exciting~~~ ^O^

Neutral, and bare faces! ^^ (No make-up for a week....) 

For spring/summer, I love both bright colors as well as monochrome black or white looks. But in particular, I love neutral such as pink, beige and nude the most. Try pairing the same color of your tops together like Jason Wu did... ... me, here, Ivory tank w/ beige wool vest and lots of details on them. And neutral color never look outdated at all!

Here looking at Jason Wu's fall 2011 runway pictures, I adore his entire collection singled out a strong attitude and lots of details. Those dresses are so glamorous!!

Matching your top colors, blue, red, sheer, black n' white floral embroidery!

Wish I could wear those dresses for Valentines' Day~~ ^O^ Well, how about a Valentin's bright color make-up... it is a DO!!

Jill Stuart pearl pink eyeshadow. 

The shinning pink around eye corner, and lower eyeliner will make your eyes look a lot bigger and sexier.... (you know sometimes how people mistaken the white eye shadow around the corner for some "gooey discharge"  on your eye if you are not a make-up expert...haha....haha...... )

Collage is fun and I made a keep-sake frame from my 3 children's belongs....
one missing shoe, one missing mitten and one pair of socks.  




Here is another picture collage frame from us girls crazy Vegas trip!!

Are you ready for your Valentine's?!

Have a cheeky Sunday.
