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.

Vintage Inspired Shirt!

Today is Abby's 5-year-old birthday!!

After dropping of Ilona at school, (Again, she tried to cry her lung out so I'd take her home but I didn't.) I went to pick up a doll house for Abby.

So here I am, at home, assembling this GREEN HOUSE w furniture from Plan Toy. (I am not doing ad. here)

It is very simple to do the assembling, all you need is a "charged" electrical screw driver. 
You know, I'd nag DH if that electrical screw driver is not charged when I need it!!! lol

Ta Da~~






It is called green house because of its utilization of all the energy-saving concepts....the recycling bins, the solar panels, ..... interesting!! ^^


The other one is a Guest House from Pottery Barn Kids.

Spring Colors- Neon Green, Orange, Teal, the colors you dare not!

I figured, I like to wear something that people don't normally pick from the store, thrift shops or on-line. :P 


I even like unique color combination! I hope you are pliable enough to try those pretty colors on you in the future. You know, people miss a lot when they become set in their ways. 


On Saturday, we family went up to SF city. We visited Japanese Bonsai Garden and Science of California Academy . It was chill and felt like fall is around the corner!! 

I particularly like this not-so-pretty plant and somehow it catched my attention!

All the succulent plant!
