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.

Throwing On Everything....yes, even Kimono!!!

This is my new GIVENCHY Tinhan hobo in black n' gold-toned studs!!! 
I don't really have a perfect outfit to pair it w/... since i am still drooling over my Proenza Shouler yellow PS1 clutch and carry it everywhere these past couple day.  But i thought Gray outfit and feminine skirt could add a fun element w/ GIVENCHY studs hobo in my outfit. 

w/ Betsy Johnson tutu skirt n' Proenza Shouler 09' runway heels.

My last year buy, Dior patent quilted booties......(w/o tutu)

Wouldn't you know it, the next day I am up to MAN's wear!!!

If not because I am sure that I bought them as a PAIR, I thought they were misplaced together......the polka dots and stripes are reversal colors from each other. 

I was digesting some fashion mag. and loves both simple elegant and casual chic styles, they are alternatives in our daily style. And if you are not bored of striped look, here are some more. They are uber chic!!! (picture credit to SPUR)

Love the shoes... (brown and black)

I especially love this look, the taupe/mocha crape/shrug and teal/turquoise mini skirt!...dont' I have something similar~~ ^O^

MY ODJ.

Kimono style was a conundrum to me.... as I am not a Japanese nor knowing much about the history of Kimono wear. I don't even remember who bought me this Kimono, either my DAD or my MIL. 
I once used it to cover up my bathing suit at the beach but nothing else. I certainly believe everyone would easily drawn by the beauty of Kimono for its silkiness, and the vivid print...but unless it is a festival, no one would really wear it on the street!!! :) Especially here, the conservative silicon valley!! :P 






1. Top:
two pinky tanks, one w/ Sakura print
Ivory scarf w/ gold crochet
silk Kimono w/ Temple and flower prints
2. Bottom:
coral Levis skinny low rise cropped jeans
3. Shoes: Mission espadrille 
4. Accessory: Elfi white turquoise w/ silver bead spike necklace



Today is a busy day for me and I definitely am in this whole ensemble doing chorses...... if you ever recognize me, I'd love to meet you!! ^O^ (But if you are too embarrassed to see me in Kimono in public, I understand!!) hahahahaha...  

Have a fun afternoon!!
