Leather Skirt and Skincare Ritual!!

I think it is safe to say that all the leather byproduct such as leather jackets, leather tanks, leather vests, leather capes (hum...I'd love to have one), leather pants (shorts, any sort), leather skirts, leather hats, leather gloves..... are wardrobe essentials. 


I had a pretty inspiration from her outfit.  (A super beautiful model, and a photographer)I don't have a leather shorts yet but I so much want to get one now!! :P

Today we took kids to SF zoo and had a great time w/ Renee's family again. The difference of this time from last week is hubby came along and we had a great food in B STAR restaurant!!! 

 

It is located between Clemence and 2nd, 3rd st. of SF city!

The very special salad that I never had before is Tea Leaf salad... the tea imported from Burma.

The very dark..... olive green stuff is TEA.... they will mix every salad in front of you!!

All the food is wonderful and I will let yourself to explore when you are in SF city!!!

I thought that my skin gets brighter and brighter (even skin tone) these days and I'd love to share couple things w/ you!!

(ps. no foundation, no compress powder anything, only NIA 24 sunblock mixed w/ Lara Mercier tinted moisturizer as the base)


Those 3 things are my current ritual skin regime .... 
The DDF, Chantecaille, and NIA 24 mineral niacin sunblock (which Oprah highly recommended)!! 

Try them if you like.
I have almost done my packing and will share w/ you tomorrow!
Good day.

Packing Light (in the flight)~~ (Part I)

I just heard my friends' in Taipei said that it is getting HOT AND HUMID in Taiwan now. So I am going through my luggage again to kick out some more clothes which I wouldn't be needing them at all.

This is original my flying outfit..now..not sure!

I still have time to rearrange my luggage and I will show you what did I pack w/ me. ^^

Stay Tuned!!

Girls' Night Out!

We love sex n' the City 2 movies and I think all the gals in the movie theater had a great laugh yesterday!!! I even think some of the gals are too "high"(the mood) when watching the movie, and they laugh so hard that I start worrying about the wrinkles climbing on their faces after that....hah.lol. 


I will be heading to Taipei next Wed. and sure I know I will be missing my friends a lot here in USA. (I know you probably will see me on blog still so you won't forget about me!!! ^^)

I don't know what happened to my shirt...shrunk? Sure I don't like the exposed midriff there... :P

Happy Long Weekend!!

Jewelry Trend for 2010!

The Accessories trend for these couple years are 3B's - Bigger, Bolder and Better. However, the classic and traditional look is still forever demanding in the influx of dramatic statement pieces from the current market. 

I found an article talked about accessory trend and would like to share w/ you all. (source: squidoo.com)

My friend, Elfi, an active interior designer who is also an accessory designer. I recently custom ordered two pairs of earrings in order to pair two necklaces I bought earlier from her. You can always find chic and one-of-a-kind accessories w/ her and she follows closely w/ the hottest trend in Europe.You will never have to worry about wearing an outdated accessory in public. ^^

Austria jewelry designer: Elfi Altendorfer

You can click the icon above to know more about her and her beautiful pieces. She takes order directly from customers and charges way cheaper than buying from stores.  Have something in mind? You definitely should give her an email!!! ^^

Africa White turquoise spike necklace.

You have seen the necklace but I just had earrings done to complete the set!!

 
Those pretty Swarovski earrings are my new faves.

It is always a great idea to layer two similar necklaces for a more dramatic look!

I love the smoke/grayish/yellow crystals mixed w/ all kinds of purple crystals!!

 Did you see those 3 tiny beads at the bottom of that smoke/yellow tone round Swarovski crystals earrings? 
It takes her almost 3 hours for making 1 earrings like that intricate!! 

I think someone asked me about the nail polish I applied way back. Here it is: Suede (matte) in charcoal from O.P.I.

I am going to wear these to join our gals' movie night of Sex n' the City II tonight!! ^O^

Have some fun on Friday night!!
