Transitional Look for Fall: Blue + Gem Green, an oversized shirt as a jacket!

You can see how much I love Gem Green + Blue of this season's trendy color combination. As a matter of fact, I am officially a greenie. {You know, eat lots of organic greens, recycle stuff, buy local, .... blah blah, ... but I still need to work on harder on the carnival side of me. } This Haider Ackermann oversized gem-green shirt certainly is worthy every penny. I can now wore it as a long cardigan/jacket for extra fanciness and flowy. 

I love the luxury look and softness of a satin shirt! 

 Off the street sequined heart tank (I sewed the metal-teeth roses on by myself and cut off the sleeves to wear it as a tank), H&M short-sleeves blazer with oversized collar, Haider Ackermann oversized shirt, Catherine Malandrino trousers, Hermes white CDC bracelet, Givenchy Tinhan studs hobo, Christian Louboutine fringe booties 

 Louboutine booties is always sexy~~

 Like I said, sometimes, complication is the solution to wear your past-season clothes. 

Tonight is the time for my Zumba work-out routine. 

{Zumba shirt, Agnes' b sports green leggings, Asics running shoes... I love the wide-toe design shoes for dancing.}

Enrich Your look in colors!!

A Moment of Self-induledging!

Yesterday is our most drastic day here in suburban, Cupertino and if you watched the news, you'd know what happened. 


Hubby and I think yesterday is probably the only time that city "Cupertino" is ever being mentioned in the news more than "New York" city. Well,..... The weather certainly is cooling down in San Francisco and so is here, Cupertino. I finally have the strong anticipation to wear this Marni wool-felt coat and Valentino studded taupe heels.  


Hum... I certainly have a thing for studs, don't I!!?

The shoulder has a profound cutting which is trendy and even be seen on a lot of blouses, or shirts such as over-sized shirts.  You definitely can wear those shirts as a blouse or as a light jacket/cardigan for more versatile choices. {I am wearing my Haider Ackermann  oversized shirt as a jacket today and I will post my ODJ later.} 

Seem to be a perfect pair, right?

Cozy yourself up!

Strong Hues for you and your room!

This season's runway looks are full of colors, everyone can bravely work themselves with one or many color spectrum as a statement look. {Yes, regardless the body shapes.}  While color-blocking is more like a body-dissector look to me, those strong hues or even the subtlest pastels certainly is fun to dress in. 

I am painting our last spot in the kitchen (the soffit, to be specific) "green" {I will update the look next week.}. Then I will work on our master bedroom where I don't understand why the he** the builder builded such a small walk-in closet at the first place!! But before that, I might just apply this whimsical wall paper on the wall against our headboard to update its look.

I love ombre' color scheme so I even have our duvet cover in that style! 
{Bedding, Anthropologie shams, decorative tubular pillows, William Sonoma Home rectangle pillow,  William Sonoma Home satin ombre' duvet cover,  Yves Delorme embroidery white flat-sheet}

Imagining I am Pocahontas singing on bed with hair flowing.... {I don't know why...but I'd want to give the bedding an objective.....lol} 

I feel like having a good dream on this bed~

Aren't those dominate colors looking so harmony together?



Love the look of a pair of loose-fit and soft pants tucked inside the boots!

Are you GREEN enough?

So, are you green enough? No, I am not talking about ecology nor Permaculture subjects here. 

Just when I have been in the doldrums after picking kids up from their day-camps since  noon, Pei and Cathy came over to my house to cheer me up in the afternoon. {I must be dehydrated because of the scorching sun...}


Coincidently, Pei showed me a shirt she bought from Zara and I happen to pre-order the same colored shirt in June and just received couple days ago from Florence. Things like this isn't a diurnal occurrence so we both are very excited about how we could have the insight of (perhaps) what's next big color in fall!!!  {Must be the reason that we are close friends and we have similar brain waves........ } ^O^

Ooh la la ~~~

Back to my business.... 

My ODJ

I am very happy about the alternation of a thrift find - Dior blouse since 2008. It is now one shouldered blouse with floral knots at sides and I still feel very "current" when wearing it on. 

Christian Dior thrift-find color blocks and flower patch-work blouse *altered*, J Crew brown-green cardigan, Levis coral skinny jeans, Proenza Schouler large satchel, J Crew earrings, momo's march Sun-beam bracelet, Chanel Sunglasses, black flats with studded bows *bought in Rome*

I love how distinctive each color on me yet how harmony they blend in with one another. 
 

Finally... my hair is growing... longer... 


Find your green.
