NOT All Camel w/ Marni Shearling Jacket Part ?? !!

I know a lot of you probably already take a good peek at what's for next fashion....s/s 2011. Stylists or buyers must be busy pre-ordering those hot-off-the-runway items for their clientele. Fashion is always ahead of our time, isn't it!!

Back in reality, we are just stepping into fall and winter and thanks to the weather finally cooling or chilling off I shall say. So, let's see some current trends, shall we!!? 

You must guess Marni houndstooth shearling jacket is my current fave. so yes, I can't deny it!!

Maybe I should tuck in that blouse properly..... Niel, my son, took the photos for me and he sure wouldn't notice that~~ ^O^

How about shoes?

You must again guess it right..... my Pierre Hardy platform sandal!!! Just go back to my posts and you will find that how many times I have wore them .... on the ground and underground... Oh, I mean to the beach side of Treasure Island! ^O^

Then what about other shoes!!? I mean boots!!

I don't know if I am a fashion victim for this kind of boots that I have seem them everywhere in the magazine and girls in street style shots on the WWW (world wide web).... it feels like a good-brain wash to me!! ^^ I want to get my hands on them!!!

A LUST! (Derek lam)

Another LUST! (Derek Lam)


Same boots in Black.

Just a taste of its kind (Kelsie $59)

Then I found this beautiful girl wearing Chloe's boots so effortlessly chic! I think this is by far the best look for this exact boots I encountered on the WWW.

A cherry blossom girl (street style). Adore that big cape on her!

Now I can't wait to give my new no-sweat boots a test-drive/walk!!

I wore Ralph Lauren tie-neck scarf as a belt!

 I love the good contrast of my cargo pants and this Kelsie boots.

Who am I?

It must be the weather that made me gone daft!! Suddenly I went for a BANG for my hair. It is not that I never get a bang but just I never had a bang w/ short hair. 

Hopefully it is not my another infatuation from runway look which I might regret tomorrow morning after I wake up!! 

Let's keep finger crossed~~ ^O^

I am still ME couple days ago~~

teal blue camisole, Marni coat 10A, Mphosis Bermuda shorts w/ asymmetrical fold in front, teal/red/beige stripes leggings w/ lace band, Proenza Shouler PS1 clutch, Elfi Altendorfer costume made vintage beads necklace, patent belt, Alexander Wang Abby sandal heels.

Today!!

 I wish I could say this is my another half....twin sister!!

:P

I have always wanted to pair a cardigan/cropped coat w/ this Michael Angel jersey dress the day I bought it. Just so I can wear them as a transitional outfit. 

Brocade cropped jacket from Magaschoni collection!!

Ashley Jones wore a brocade dress to Audi/Chopard Emmy Week Party.
(I believe it is the same pattern as my cropped jacket.)


Another look from magaschoni which is so inspiring to me.
Good news is that their collection made w/ intricate patterned fabric and notable cashmere is not so expensive at all.

The silk brocade jacket has sumptuous, luxury pattern/colors, which, luckily, perfectly update this now a past season Michael Angel dress (s/s 2010), 

w/ Karen Walker Milky pink sunglasses.... ^^
I am going to find more beaded embroidery for my half-done leggings.

Have fun w/ your DIY project.
