This spring/summer is all about pants!!

Everyone must have more than couple different shapes, colors, cut, fabric...of pants to meet every occasion. I have a thing w/ blazers and jackets these days and I have a nostalgic feeling w/ my Homme Agnes' b metallic sheen pants too.

I had altered my Pierre Balmain jacket to a cropped one as skirt suit don't fit in my life style now. Also, this pair of pants is a normal cut of men's suit pants. I love the color and precised tailor look so I bought it. I only wear it like once every year and still cannot think of a reason to get rid of it!! Yes, only wear once a year is such a waste as I think I could wear it more often. I hate that I have clothes just sitting in my closet and I don't know how can I maximize wearing it. Therefore, I had it altered to be a cropped and 3/4 length cuffed slim pants. It looks alive on me again and I think I can wear it more than just once every season.

1. TOP:

• Derek Lam cashmere camel tank top
• Gucci ruffle round neck tank top
• Pierre Balmain jacket (altered as a cropped blazer)
  

2. Bottom: Agnes' b Homme pants (altered )
3. Shoes: Jean-Mitchel Cabazat metallic purple w/ 2 buckles heels/sandal
4. Chanel 08 Star brooch
5. Elfi designer necklace
6. Lanvin Leopard Happy sac
7. My creation of earrings from two different ones

Yes, cropped pants like this sophisticated look definitely need a pair of heels to compliment



See, you can save a lot if you just think of something to improvise from your wardrobe, you will be surprised.



I think leopard Lanvin happy sac will jazz up my understated ensemble

Coming Soon From MAC - Well-Defined Collection 2.7.09

Well-Defined brings to life over two years of work backstage in the lab to perfect our newest foundation and concealer. Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation is a rich, luxurious Cream Foundation in tube. This lush uniquely textured foundation delivers ultimate hydration while instantly revitalizing dull and dry skin. Smooth and even application yields a medium buildable coverage with a natural-satin finish. It’s paired with Studio Sculpt Concealer, which provides full-coverage that never becomes dry and cakey with a gel-based cream formula slips onto skin, effortlessly hiding imperfections.

"Studio Sculpt Foundation has fused new advancements in technology with innovative plant-based extracts to create a lush, luxurious new cream-gel foundation that delivers comfortable, weightless and flawless coverage," says Nick Gavrelis, MAC's Vice President of Global Product Development. "Makeup artists and women customers alike can easily achieve blendable medium coverage, with a luminous, satiny finish."

Gordon Espinet, MAC's Vice President of Global Makeup Artistry shares this application tip for the non-professional user: "Begin with a pea size amount on the back of your hand, and use any foundation brush to apply onto hydrated skin. Mix in a bit of your favorite moisturizer (try Strobe Cream or Strobe Liquid), which will create a sheer, luminous finish that makes skin appear to be candlelit. Use any MAC concealer over areas that need additional coverage."
