Still Challenging.... Sheer Trend!!

I know most of you probably won't appreciate this sheer trendy look, but personally, I love it.  For me, it is an avenue of being sexy without exposing too much of flesh....sheer sexy rocks!! }=^.^={

I had a really fun day shopping with Cathy as well as discovered an effective way of cooking for my family. Let's get started with my outfit du Jour...Sheer look!

Miu Miu studded pump 2010

While we were at Diesel, Cathy fell in love with the neon Orange pump (down left) and found a good deal for $85 around on Amazon.com instead.

One of the male SAs in Diesel loved my Miu Miu studded pumps so much that he had to shared his recent project with me. He bought a pair of black platform for $10 at great-mall and painted it red. He said that he is so inspired by one of the looks at Diesel store. How interesting!! Now all he needs to do is to patiently align those red sequins w/ tacky glue onto the entire heels. ....{I was very excited with him as he shared his baby with me in the store. ^^}

My current fave. perfume, Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb!!
Very sexy scent...if you are trying to seduce .... :P 

Since I carpooled with Cathy, I dragged her over to see Ilona's spring program performance in the afternoon. ^O^

{I think Ilona would feel so special as Cathy came along and I share the ride to save the earth by reducing carbon monoxide.}

 
I bought this Garlic oil for marinating lamb chop/shank, but I find it very handy when I run out of garlic or being lazy not wanting to do all the peeling/chopping.


 I splash some garlic oil along with extra virgin olive oil when cook both Spinach with beef stir fry and Shrimp with lettuces fried rice! {I forgot to take picture of frying udon noodles....as you know, I cook both rice and noodles to satisfy my kids' picky taste buds.^^}

Easy Cheesy dinner ready!!

Seductive- At Work n' on mommy/wife duty!!

Boss leopard haltered blouse, Kapital cotton blazer, HM wool pencil skirt, black sheer tights, Chanel 10A Rouge/Orange reissue, navy oxford heels. 

If I have to go in the office w/ DH, this is what I'd wear at work. 
Don't you think this looks conservative, professional and seductive (to my DH since I am work w/ him) all in one!!? ^^

I'd wear anything that delights myself, others ..... and still be appropriate even when I am only doing my grocery shopping!

Finally, the debut of Alaia golden lace-up heels!!


Romeo n' Julia contour pink dress, Two toned slouchy pocket cardigan, J crew studded belt, mocha knitting scarf, lilith polka dot carry-all bag, Alaia golden lace up heels.









I found this dress awful big in size M, so I pinned the bottom hem to make more "bubbly" and "asymmetrical" look!


Now let's talk about my two over the top heels!!
I found this version of Miu Miu Studded pump which only has heels paved w/ studs, spikes.... 

Studded-heel Platform Pump at Bergdorf Goodman $750


Then I did a height comparison between these two heels-- 
Pierre Hardy n' Miu Miu!  

I'd say this Miu Miu round toe, strappy look is far more interesting than the one above. I assume this pair adds more flair of toughness and edginess look on platform heels. 
 Of course, the price for this pair is a bit more for $895 in Barney's! They also have BROWN suede for the same look. 



The result??


They are the same height - 5 ½-inch heel. As far as the height is concerned, both 1 5/8-inch platform makes them comfy enough to walk for couple hours. 


Got your highest heels?
