Fun Tartan, Little Fun Lace, Mild Make-up and BIG Fun Attitude!

I particularly like no-eyeliner look of smoky eyes so I did it again. ^^

2010 A/W Trend! Inevitably we will see some things again and again every year..... While I browse through Lucky mag. my eyes were drawn by this classic and simple cape.

(left below) The camel cape w/ brown trim is by Lauren Moffat. 

 Navy w/ red trim is so fun and eye-catching too!

She also has this timeless tartan textile outwear and skirt available on her website!

Lauren Moffat's design is simple yet classic.  You can also find unexpected colored textile which she made into fun skirts and dresses! Her pieces give you both Vintage and Modern look in one. Find a chance to visit her blog, would you! ^^

Inspired by her pieces, I dug out my tartan dress which I bought last year. It is so cheap that I didn't realize it is very much for "teenagers".....until I read the label. I didn't even know about the movie "NEW MOON" back then. lol. Well, I adore the pattern so much therefore, here it shows again!

This look was created last year and I had 2 dresses underneath w/ a wool vest on top...it was COLD!

You see, the tartan/plaid pattern is so classic that you'd never get tired of it!

Vignette!

This is a very gray-ish lace n' pleat dress I bought at Jakarta. Mother-in-law thinks this dress looks somewhat dirty for its undeclared color whereas I adore "Her" urban yet elegant look. ^^ Especially those vignette of spiral laces and pleats all over the dress make it so "vintage" to me!!

By the way, this is the sample pair I bought yesterday from Carmel. 
I got a special deal from the owner (again) as 1) it is a sample pair which doesn't have zippers 2) the last one and fits me. 



As far as the style is concerned, I'd think it is a Cow Boy boots except it's made of delicate cloth n' embroidery. 


My ODJ. 


1. Top:

• grayish dress w/ lace n' pleats
• blue tassel n' crochet vest

2. Accessory:

• ivory w/ gold crochet shawl 
• Chanel pearl necklace w/ multiple crystals 09'
• Chanel black caviar mini flap w/ SHW

3. Shoes:
Turkish made cow boy boots 






(Pardon me if you can see mosquito bites here and there on my legs. lol)



I didn't plan to pair this dress w/ cow boy boots but now I like this effortless sense of style a lot!! ^O^

I was browsing WWD mag. the other day and love the "urban-professional" look of this middle sheer dress w/ fur.  It is pure coincidence that I had similar ensemble today. 

Fall trend.... never get tired of pur...rrr...... oh, no, I mean FUR! ^^



I always grab either fitness or yoga mag. altogether w/ fashion mag. (that's my new Bally Ladonda-N pink prochette gifted from my mom from Czech Republic )



Speaking of Bally, those are the look I mean by urban professional. You still can wear them to work or to lounge afterward....sexy and fun!!





How about animal print for this fall too?!!





Seriously, I think I need to wear something more serious than urban chic look...:P 


How about Givenchy pre-fall sequins tank w/ CL Bianca for a special occasion?


Have a good week.
