A Look Back At Halloween

Halloween is really one of my favorite holidays! I think it has to do with the nostalgia of being a young child and remembering how exciting Halloween was.

This year, I dressed up as a Navy Cadet (or Captain). I pulled out and old wig I had in my closet and really changed my whole look.

It was so much fun! What did you dress up as?


XOXO,

Miscellaneous!

I think I am famous among my friends for my prowess on taking any fashion trend and trying it on myself. 

Can't deny it. I love challenge if I had the chance. 


What NOW?


Cathy bought me and herself a turban but I have not yet had the chance to try it on (on the way shipping to us)..... but a scarf would do the same trick!! ^^

I tied turban w/ Hermes hot air balloon silk scarf!


I don't know why I'd bite Cathy's trick of wearing this turban hat to my son's school and around on the street.... 





Please use your imagination to put this lower puzzle w/ my upper torso!! lol.


I am keeping this for my mom until~~ 
Chanel red 10A Classic jumbo w/ blue/purple undertone!


Friend asked why I'd buy so many "square" shapes of Chanel flaps.... aren't they boring?! 
No, of course NOT, I said.
 I can carry them in many ways. Besides, they are covetable for the fact of their classic looks which also makes them perennial favorite!!


Going to 3 kid's Halloween parties!
See you later.

A busy Monday!!

What did I do today?

First, grocery shopping and cook for dinner. 

Why?

I have 2 hours work-out in the evening and I have to pick kids up from school, and between classes so I wouldn't have time to cook a proper 2 or 3 courses meal later. 


Then I'd better get it done in the morning!! ^^

Those are the goodies for kids at Halloween party. 
There are also 3 prizes for the BEST COSTUME and 1 prize for the MOST CREATIVE COSTUME.



My friends are all so productive for... You know!!! lol



My lonely Mr. Pumpkin patiently awaits our guests for this Saturday's Halloween party.



Lady Witch will read some fun Halloween books to the children. 




The witch, the bat, the dark night..... 


And the skeleton!





Time to go out for some more Halloween decor. and to complete the missing goody bags.


o8' Chanel tweed jacket.




Eye candies are as well as mouth watering goodies.



Isabel Marant alpaca wool Pull over, Chanel tweed jacket, Helmut Lang burgundy suede pants (cuffed), pink butterfly agate necklace, Chanel 08' metallic navy striped reissue, Fornarina pump w/ satin bow. 



What's left is couple hours before my Monday evening work-out routine. Thanks my DH who is willing to watch kids even after a day's work. 

Do you work-out in the evening?

Keep fit!

A Day - Well Planned!!

I signed up as a volunteer for Niel's school. His school organizes a Project Cornerstone for parents to read books to each class once a month and do some fun activities according to what book is about. I am glad that I have a parter, Mark, whose son also goes to the same class as Niel. And he is a well-experienced volunteer for school.

9:00 AM

Today's book: "Have you filled up your bucket? "
Everyone has to write a "warm fuzzy" = nice words to the other classmate.

  How does it work? If I said that I am so grateful to have you stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment. I am filling up your invisible bucket!! Then, if I have a smile/Thank-you words in return, we are filling each other's invisible bucket. We'd both be so happy!! ^O^ 

10:30 AM
Figured I have only 3 hours alone and should put it to good use. ^O^

My ODJ.

It turns out this Ports 1961 second hand cardigan $89 is so practical to me. 


Same shade but different textures will give your same colored outfit some depth and fun. 

I intended to leave my bag unbuttoned...but I guess I won't even dare to do that when travel to Italy this November. 

Then I start putting Halloween pieces around my house... untill....... gotta go picking up Niel from school at 2 PM, and dropping off for Chinese class at 3:30 PM. Again, picking up Ilona and Heidi from school around 3:45 PM. Running errands in between, then picking up Niel at 4:30 PM and rushing from Cupertino to Los Gatos for both Niel and Heidi's 4:45 PM Piano Class. .... VROOM, VROOM ~~~~ (Of course I am, we are, late for 5 mins when we were there about 4:50 PM already.)

Anyone wants to be hired as private chauffeur?  lol

5:35 PM

It is 6:30 PM when we arrived home for dinner. Who says that I'd be Super relaxed and FREE when kids are all gone for school????!! 

"WOMEN and CATS do as they please. 
Men and Dogs should relax and get used to the idea!!!"

Have you filled up your bucket yet?
Have a good laugh!
