Quality time!!

Today I let hubby take his break off being my chauffeur and have my girls be with me for more bonding instead!! As for my son, he volunteers himself to keep Dad company. How lovely~~

Jean Paul Cartier floral sheer blouse (Vintage find), J Crew metallic tee, [blanknyc®](link) skinny color jeans, Christian Louboutin heels, Hermes Gris T. Birkin 35 cm, Hermes orange CDC bracelet, Prada tortoise sunglasses 

(Staring at Stars Netted Fringe Eternity Scarf: clink the link to see it at Urban Outfitter) 

My girls gone crazy at store trying oversized frame glasses.... lol. 

Speaking of retro style, I couldn't help myself buying this artsy tea kettle at NM today. I went home and brew myself a pot of tea.....the drawback as well as a good feature ( this sounds contradictory) of this kettle is that it doesn't have that high pitch beeping sound after it's boiling. That being said I have to watch the water boiling myself...without leaving it out of my sight!! {Maybe I can buy an extra alarm thinging and stick on it just in case...... }

MacKenzie Childs "Country Check" tea kettle! 

It turns out today is a great sunny day but tomorrow it might rain... oh, well...

Have a cup of freshly brewed tea?!

Fashion Emergency: Neon Colors.

If you still don't own any bright colors or anything neon, I suggest you venture out A.S.A.P. to grab one or a ton. You have a lot of selections and you just have to be brave!! Doesn't matter if they even glow in the dark,{Of course they won't!} as long as neon green, neon yellow or whatever all the primary colors you can find, they make perfect contrast on your ordinary outfit. 

My ODJ

Marni gold dress, Lactos vintage boy friend neon green cardigan (bought at Urban Outfitter.com), J Crew skinny pink belt, Alaia laser-cut red tote 2011, Polka dot color-blocking socks, Castaner metallic silver wedge oxford 

We all need a giant and functional tote, don't we!! 

Create your up-to-date Vintage look.

Our Parents' Day Starts w/ Kid's School Halloween Party !!! (Updated)

My day didn't end at 8 PM after my Zumba dance yesterday! 

There are cheese/ham/lettus on Hawaii sweet buns, tuna melt w/ fuji apples sandwiches, (vega) Fuji apples w/ cucumber on lemon butter jelly sandwiches.

I signed up for making sandwiches for my son's class, bringing goodies for Abby's whole classmates and fresh-cut fruits w/ muffins to Ilona's class. I think I am trying to be fair to all my 3 children that once I participate ONE, i'd be involved in all 3 of their class parties!!

Our day today starts w/ Niel's first costume parade at school!!

Niel's costume parade at 8:15 AM...which is a big deal to me that I normally am playing my make-up and dress-up at home by myself during that time! Lol. 
Rushing to another school~ Vroom ~ Vroom~

Ilona's 2nd costume parade around 9:30 AM. 

This is the most creative (from store bought) costume ever~~ w/ that hand-made mail box!! ^^



Ilona's 2nd costume of the year - TInker Bell!

My day , as a parent, ends w/ Abby's last ballet/tap dance class!

Abby has the most distinctive costume.... (peacock main outfit from pottery barn kid's last year + Gymboree same peacock crown, wing (not show), leggings all sorts of accessories of this year)!



I even sew a black bow at the back onto that peacock top. 





Keep up, we moms!!
