I really need to organize my blogs into tags/categories so it will be easier for you girls to navigate on. But right now, thanks to Google for its incredible searching mechanism that I hope you still can find something useful here other than seeing me fancy and vain in the pic. haha....!!!! lol.
This season, there is one more thing in my never-ending clothing wish list: A Cape!!!
I never really want ONE since it never occurs to me that it is a stylish staple in one's wardrobe. :P However, I know I am always enamored by its sophisticated look!! :) Maybe one day I will indulge myself w/ a classic piece like those on the mag.
Aren't those 3 capes classic n' gorgeous!!!!
I want to share a store coupon w/ you girls. This deal is better than its offered 15% off for joining in their email list. You just have to go to "store location" page and print out the coupon and use it in different stores if you have more than ONE item that you like!!! (Please don't tell SAs that I pass around this deal. :P)
Click it if you want to save 20% off from Kate spade!!
I know my friend, Yu, was looking kate spade short sleeves white shirt w/ bow at both shoulders one day. Now I think she can take the plunge!!!
This is the damage I made today for myself. A look between cape and military inspired wool coat. I think it also is classic enough.
I like the lining very much cause' it makes me feel YOUNG and chic!! hee~~
What else is this season's trend that I didn't get ???!!! Ah~~ Studs!!! Something or anything w/ studs!!! You know, I did a touch up on my overly teared True religion jeans just to get a flavor of studs for fun!! :)
When my in-laws were here, my mother-in-law sewed a piece of denim fabric underneath of every tear of my true religion jeans.
I must admit, she is awesome doing those sewing things for me and my 3 kids whenever their visits here. She also made clothes for them by herself. :)
All I need to do afterward is to iron those studs wherever I want!
You know it costs a lot when jeans have that underneath patches of denim look.
Done!!
Now I have a new pair of jeans w/ dispersive studs!! :)
You know what's so special today?! Today is FRIDAY again!!!! I love Fridays as much as I love holidays cause' it's followed by Sat. and Sun. which DH and I don't have to abide by schedules in general except for Heidi's piano lesson on Sunday!!
I went shopping for Kids in GAP. As you might already know that Stella McCartney designed a collection for Gapbaby and Gapkids!! I am too late to get a military inspired jacket for my son, otherwise, we could wear the same style ensembles!!!! That will be cool!!!
I add a metal zipper on my Moschino cheap and chic cropped pants to get the LOOK ALIKE of Marni's runway look!!
Now, I need a pale look like her!!
I use both YSL no. 2 and Mac gloss!!
Ok, I should have applied some foundation to pale my skin too. :P
Accessory is another key for the look. BR $19.99!!
Viola~~~ everything is recycled from my wardrobe except the Michael Star tunic is new!!
My ODJ.

I actually almost bought that BR necklace recently too b/c it reminded me of your Anthropologie necklace that you had used for your Lanvin-inspired ODJs. However, the one that I picked up was slightly damanged and it kept snagging on my sweater so I gave up. It's a steal and it's funny how you picked it up too.
You MIL sounds like a great seamstress in that she can help you with your jeans and make kids clothing! You are not bad yourself for altering some of your own clothing.
Hope you find somewhere nice for tonight's dinner to reward yourself. SR, maybe?
Have a great weekend!
Oh, I left message about the necklace in previous comments. And yes, it is funny that we picked the same necklace. I have not much interest in other stuff but only this one I picked up right when I saw it on the sale stack!!! :)
Oh, now I kinda feel bad about saying my in-laws are annoy sometimes...(although it is true sometimes.):P but they are really great and they really respect me and my way of arranging things at home whenever their stay here.
Oh.. well, after Niel's tennis lesson end around 7:30 PM, I already finished cooking and feeding Ilona. I guess we will dine out the whole day tomorrow!!!!! :)
You too, have a fun family weekend!!
he..I think the 2nd cheapest thing I got this month is that BR on sale necklace. Last month, the cheapest score is $10 vintage silver chain necklace for DIY my Marni look-alike necklace. :) See, it is even expensive than your $4.99 haul. :P
Oh, you have a great weekend. .. I am almost catching up Gossip Girl on 3rd season!!!
Thanks, but now I probably should ask my son if he likes it or not before I buy it. :)
that michael stars top is so comfy looking i love it. I mean the whole outfit plus accessories and your Birkin is just TDF. I really need to start using my lash thing because man...looks like you are wearing fake lashes but they are real! So jealous.
Ok i'm going to my son's baseball practice now. Have a great weekend!
I absolutely love the brown outfit!! The zippers on the pants are very cute, the tights, the shoes, the necklace and of course the birkin!!! The necklace is definitely very lanvin inspired and I love the price tag! I hope I can find one in BR in SCP.
Hope you had a great weekend too.
I thought you'd like that brow ensemble too cause' in fact, I know that's a classic look w/ a little trendy touch of details. Next year, I probably can do the same thing but change accessories/shoes even another color of Birkin to be a total different look. hahahahhaah..
Hope you have a wonderful weekend too. xoxo
you know, I just found out, my friends, Pei & Betsy both bought the same necklaces a while back. Betsy said that the necklace is a defeat and it snags her sweater.
pei says she is disappointed after seeing it IRL when she thought it was so beautiful on-line.
Pei thinks it is such plastic-y for $59.99.....
Hum....maybe I got it at $19.99 and for that price, I think this piece is so beautifully crafted w/ small details too. I would say this necklace looks great on dark and busy top... especially turtleneck too!!! I have to say it also accentuates BUST area when I have small breast. hahahahahaha.. *shy*.
