Crunch Time......

If you followed my blog way back 10', you'd notice my house stair rail are brown and it is carpet flooring throughout the second floor. Now it is about time to change, I gave it a face-lift, change it to hardwood floor and paint the rail white to match up my fire place! Something I always wanted to do and finally we go for it. And eventually, hopefully, wishfully that we can change the entire house' flooring by end of this year.

Now we crunch time trying to finish the jobs on stairs and hallway at the second floor......then you know what i am going to do?? I am going to give my tiny-itsy-bitsy closet a face-lift too!!!! Oh, well, that has to wait until I am back on 7/24!!! 

 It's half way done....

The asymmetrical Etoile blouse matches up perfectly again with Linda Loudermilk's asymmetrical blazer!!! The side ruffles now look like a big ruffle brooch/ornament peeking through one side of the blazer!!

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

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
