Orange is MY All Year Round Color!

So, if you still don't have any idea of how to wear "SHORTS" into fall, here are two pictures to stir up your brain cell a little more!! ^O^

Leather "high-waist" flared shorts 

(don't get the one that's super short and super tight...that just doesn't look right for F/W time)

MY ODJ.

I am quite lazy these days as I skip my eyeliner ... but since I don't have HUGE eyes to BLING, I can't skip my lower eyeliner!!

TRY THE TRICK: If you only do the middle lower eyeliner to match up the "diameter" of your black pupil, it actually POPS OUT your eyes more for you. ^O^

Can you see that only lower center has black eyeliner!! 

(Completed w/ Anna Sui orange blush, YSL LTD lip-stick, Cover girl vibrating mascara)

There are two tiny shoulder patches underneath this Humanoid orange 3/4 sleeves tee.

I love this particular shade of orange and that's why I bought this Humanoid tee.

C C California long vest 

Tory Burch water washed skinny jeans

URBN metal chain w/ metal bead necklace 

Christian Louboutin Damask fabric knot heels

Chanel 09' beige medium/large classic flap w/ gold HW

I miss-buttoned this CC California long vest to make it ruched and a better suitable length for my look!

BUT I cheated... I wore my Stella Luna Zabra print bow flat out w/ kids today!! :P

My verdict: There is always another pair of shoes would go w/ your outfit!! 

GET INSPIRED!!?

Pluralism.

No, I don't wear jeans a lot and neither am I a big fan of jeans look.  I know perhaps I could count the days I actually wear jeans out in a year! ^^ But as far as the style goes, I do own more than 10 pairs of different styles of jeans. What can I say, jeans are every girl's wardrobe staple.

I would say I have a great pluralism in terms of styles. I wear boho, edgy, country....... any day I want and taken granted as I don't have to wear suits to work during the weekdays! lol I know, to pick up a suit/look for work could be a hassle just like my two daughters spend so much time picking up their dresses every morning in a very pressed time. But things are going to change when they goes to private kindergarten school. That way, I won't have to struggle w/ them and try to alter what they have chosen anymore. :P Oh, right, that's one of the reasons I put my girls to private school. haha...~ I am a devilish mom. 

My gals and I had a lunch date in Santana Row!!

One of the trinkets I hunted to jazz up my look. 
metal chain w/ bead necklace from URBN (urban outfitter) $38!
They are super chic and made in China!! 

I bought the watercolor tank from Anthropologie yesterday. 
They are $39.95 sale price, made in UK.

It has been a while that the last time I carried my Chanel matte white reissue 227 out.

In the Clouds!!

Yeah, sometimes I'd love to have my head's in the clouds just so I can replenish myself w/ some random or ridiculous thoughts. ^^

But NOT today!

Cathy dropped by this morning to pick up her "gifts" from me.  I am feeling extra saucy and surely does her in her sassy pants.

Blue Life: Dancing Queen pants in Vintage Black.

Cathy thinks my skin looks radiant after my vacation. I think I must have done something right since I did't carry umbrella when I was in Taipei but my face didn't pop up MORE freckles. ( I have some on my nose.)

Someone asks me if I use Clarisonia's cleanser w/ the brushes?!!


I do and I alternately using La Prairie's foam cleanser to get bubbles going on my face too!

For blockinig UVA and UVB, I use Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer SPF 20, NIA 24 miniral sunblock SPF 30 and La Roche Posay SPF 60. (yeah, I know, sounds scary,...but it works. ) 

I have Bobbie brown black eyeliner and Benefit eye bright pencil, JK (Target) navy eyeliner highlighted at lower eyeliner to pop up my eyes. 

Again, Cathy comments on my ensemble as Modern Geisha. ^O^ I guess I intentionally thinks I look like one as the gray cardigan is a mimic of "wide cloth belt" on Geisha!!!!

My ODJ.
