It has been so cold recently, but when they said it was going to snow I didn't quite believe it! I was proved very wrong on Sunday night! I was out for dinner for a friend's birthday and had the most horrendous time trying to get back home in the blizzard.. maybe it was something to do with the completely impractical booties I had chosen to wear ;)

Chanel Mommy's fun time!!

This morning, Cathy and I decide to take kids to San Francisco city. There is nothing in particular in our plan but we just think it has been a while since the last time we were out together.

But you know what, when kids are involved, everything seems to be unpredictable. Speaking of time management, it occurs to me that I used to be very strict about being on time but it was before having kids. Now I still try my best to be on time in every appointment, kids' check-ups, friends meeting......etc. but a lot of mommy friends of mine are horrible about being on time!!!

So, when Cathy called me this morning, it was 9:30 AM. But when she and her older son arrived at my place, it was almost 11 AM. You know what I have done in 1 1/2 hr. while waiting for her. I had my breakfast (I am ready to go w/ my outfit of the day.), took my pic. of ODJ, prepared the diaper bag and even vacuum the 1st floor of my house. Well, I guess it was worth the wait then.

We went to couple boutiques in SF city to check out s/s collection and had a nice lunch at the restaurant inside Emporio Armani boutique. I had to pick up my other 2 kids at school so we had to leave the city before 3 PM. But it is really nice for us mommies to catch up even only couple hours. We had a wonderful day!!

I play w/ heels which I think they all match in some ways!!

1. TOP:

• 123 Korean brand jersey w/ metallic skirt dress
• Kersh cobalt cotton vest
• Tracy Reese cropped/wrap cardigan

2. Bag: LV Damier Berkerly
3. Shoes:

• Pink sparkles w/ crystals heels (bought in Taiwan)
• Jean-Mitchel Cabazat metallic purple buckle Sandal
• Betsy Johnson cobalt w/ bow on back heels
  

4. Chanel 08 f/w pink crystals/pearls/camellia/clove brooch
5. Chanel 08 s/s pink camellia dangle earrings

First, I match my heels w/ my Chanel brooch n' earrings---PINK!!


Yes, I play w/ my cardigan and think this casual way of wrapping around my shoulder is fun.


Second, I had my heels matches my skirt.....well, the color is close enough.


Third, I think the Betsy Johnson heels can go w/ my cobalt vest.


W/ cardigan on might not be that perfect w/ color flow, in my opinion.


Last one...the real fun time!!

Tiered top, tiered dress and tiered skirt, which style suits you better??

Just thought I might just post my outfit on Sun. to share w/ you all. I had this two tone tiered top on w/ a very simple cut of riding pants. After Sunday worship, husband and I took kids to this small play ground in Santana Row of San Jose. This is a very confined play ground so we don't have to worry about the street cars at all. I told my DH that he doesn't even need to watch the kids and still be able to browse the internet throu. his I-phone at the same time.

1. TOP:

• Anna Paul black n' white tiered top
• Splendid gray long cardigan

2. Bottom: 3.1 Phillip Lim riding tight pants
3. Shoes: Monalo blanihk brown buckle heels
4. Bag: Balenciaga Violet part-time bag
5. Accessory: Kate-spate designer multiple colors beaded earrings

Take layering to the next level....summer mix w/ winter clothes!!

I thought today will be cooler so I layered couple of my pieces on. However, it is way too hot in the noon to keep all those layering on so I had to shed one layer off. But that's the fun part of doing layering!! You can play w/ the textures of every clothes, the color and even the length of each piece. Better yet, you can either put on more layers or shed off couple clothes when the weather changes. If you are good enough w/ mix-n'-match, you can also mix summer clothes w/ your winter clothes and they will look totally a brand new ensemble on you.

1. TOP:

• Zooey steel/gray turtleneck
• Hugo Boss orange line floral crew neck blouse
• Max&Co. black ruffle style layered dress
• No brand vest

2. Raisin leggings
3. Bags: Marc Jacobs 08 limited MIKA collection bag in Taupe
4. Patent raisin belt
5. Shoes: Michael Kors oxford boots w/ brown ribbon of my choice
6. Chanel black 09 bow w/ cc logo dangle earrings

7. Elfi designer's jade w/ 18 K bead on 18 K gold chain necklace



You can see the different textures of each piece.



I have total matching colors from my all ensemble.



I really like my new shoe laces which even goes w/ my Marc bag.


w/o the vest, it is much cooler!! Oh, I love the sun in California!!
