Friends and Family!

We girls are talking about which Michelin restaurant that we should make reservation at. Whether it is  L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand, Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace or Twist by Pierre Gagnaire at Mandarin Oriental hotel that we know we are in good hand!! ^O^

If you ask about my choice?

I'd give Joel Robuchon a first try! But my girls want me to make sure that I booked all of those restaurants just in case.... you know, we need to make ourselves presentable at the same time before we hit the table. haha~~

No, I feel chill but not cold at all when today I wear Prabal Gurung sheer shirt w/ feathers.



w/ Herems Gris T. Birkin (I am happy w/ only 1 Birkin at this moment.)




What am I looking/smiling at here?


My gals are chatting while I am doing my "thing" which means that they simply ignore me! :P

I am sore all over my body as I went to the gym for 9 hours total last week. Thus, today, I skipped my work-out routine but soon after I also felt guilty.... :P Make it up tomorrow then~~ 

Do you keep up your work-out routine regularly?

Prepare for holiday binge!

No sweat!

Yesterday I finally bumped into my SA from Nordstrom shoe salon. 

What's the urge? I have to personally convey my million-thanks to Him for holding up that Christian Louboutin Damask knotted peep-toe platform heels for me and for as long as he can till it goes on sale. ^O^ Having a good relationship w/ your SA can only do you good, capish!!!!

DH and I had a movie/lunch date during the day while kids are all gone at school. How luxury for parents of 3 of us!! ^O^ And as I promised, no sweat by looking at my picture and no sweat of pulling off the look of either pencil skirt or skinny jeans!! 
 

Yes, little by little, I am decorating our goofy Halloween decor. on the wall and in the house. 

w/ D & G ribbon leopard pencil skirt and LV clutch. 

Why do I end of having these two looks in one day?

My version of sexiness and DH's version of sexiness.

As you probably figured that DH prefers "butt-hugging" skinny jeans instead of "butt-hugging" pencil skirt!!lol

Ready to go ANYTIME!!

The other day when our accountant couple came to our house, the husband asked:  "Why do I looked so dressed-up even at home?!!" 


Yes, I always do, don't I!!? ^^ 


Especially we just got home by the time we had a meeting w/ them.  I ever said that I don't have time to change since I am always on-the-go and the time I do stay home is because I have to blog or the minute before the meal time. :P


The husband:"What about the greasy, oily smell gets on the clothes??" 


Again, he must not already read my blog. :P I said, "I'd buy new clothes anyway or put them into dry-clean....... Besides, I am not a 3-year-old and my cooking skill is not lousy after all!!" hahaha...




No particular plan for us last long weekend except for booking hotels, buying air tickets for our Italy and London trip during Thanksgiving in Nov. !! DH said that we have to travel "LIGHT" this time.  I replied: "Oh, sure, I KNOW, I KNOW, of course!!" heehee... I bet you are aware of that too!!! lol


Saturday
We went to the Shoup park in Los Altos first then Half Moon Bay in the late afternoon to avoid the crowd. 

The bib necklace turns out quite versatile since it can really jazz up otherwise too plain top and add depth/interest to the outfit!

A common thread peasant top, Ralph Lauren leather vest, Bib necklace from Anthro. See by Chloe cropped pants, Hermes Croc belt w/ olive "H" buckle, Givenchy Tinhan deep V tote w/ studs, YSL elastic band runway heels, 



We are training Niel to ride w/ two wheels.... DH and I got to run w/ him to balance him w/ that training bar so we get to exercise w/ him. 



Nop, I won't be wearing YSL heels in the park. I always have a spare flip flops in the car when high fashion look is not required. ^O^ 

Sunday
Somehow we started our little shopping for the trip to Italy which I think I am getting too excited about. Hum... no shopping till we are actually THERE!! ^^

Grayish vintage look dress, teal cotton vest, greenish grayish tights, Tod's flat, Chanel distressed matte white reissue 227 w/ black chain

I started collecting Glass Pumpkin couple years ago when they sell hand-blow ones in Stanford shopping center months before Halloween. 

I bought this Mung bean colored knitting tights at Half Moon Bay on Saturday which perfectly matches this grayish white dress. (That Mung bean color is the same as Chanel s/s 2010 camellia flip flop! ^^) 



I am thinking of throwing Halloween Party at my house again this year. 

Monday

I better hunt for Halloween decor. ASAP. 

Prabal Gurung feather tuxedo shirt w/ cut-out, lace tank (target.com), Mphosis asymmetrical zip cropped pants, extra long studs belt, YSL tribute sandal, Lanvin leopard happy sac, swarovski crystals earrings
















Some skeletons.

Some witches.

TODAY (Tuesday)

I actually bought nothing except for the little ghost corridor mat for a warm-up. ^^



DIY cut-off sleeves metallic silver shirt, Linda Loudermilk organic bamboo blazer,  J Brand tan cropped pants, Chloe brown wedge boots, URBN (Urban outfitter) chain necklace, Lanvin leopard Sac (not shown)

Out for Halloween decor hunt. 


PS. I love the Benefit magic eyeliner and it really stays non-flaky for a day.
Give it a try, girls?!!
