New Hair Cut

The past week was fun packed for B.  We are enjoying a relaxing weekend. We went to Chinatown for dinner, and did some shopping in the mall later.

We ordered something out of ordinary at this popular crowded Chinese Dumpling House. Dh (dear husband) ordered a sea-bass in super spicy hot pot...I got a jellyfish dish. 

the last two pictures were B's snack time snacks. the heart thing is gummy bear actually, but the rest are healthy stuff...

YSL Tribute Sandals

I was looking for these lower heels Tribute sandals for a while. One day, my size appeared. I got them right away.

This week is school winter break. I arranged bunch stuff for B to enjoy. Tomorrow is last day. i can't help noticing the driving distance to his play places is further and further! from 20 miles to 23 to 35... I get his smile and kisses as my shuttle service payment. 

Went to Chanel Bloomie Store

My friend and I had a great time at Chanel store today. after lunch, she made up her mind and went back to the store.  this gorgeous caviar jumbo classic flap came home with her at the end of the day.

i got a little something too. a pair of cute earrings.

wearing a Missoni dress with attached scarf.

Beauty Event

 i received a bag full of goodies from saks's beauty event today. the teal blue tote is very roomy. we use it as beach bag or shopping bag. a good way to reduce plastic bag usage. the snake prints give this shopping bag a lot of fashion vibe.

this adorable Dior eye shadow palette is inspired by Lady Dior bag.   the 4 colors inside create light or heavy smoky eyes. i already have duplicate colors in my current make up collection. but i got it just for its case! good thing powder stays well for much longer than other beauty products.

i am off to go for a hair cut. then Victoria's Secret for my friend. hopefully i have some outfit pictures taken today.

Always Be My Valentine

On Valentine's Day, I'm thinking of all the things you are

that make life more interesting and exciting, and blessed,

so much better in every way than it would be without you.

 

B picked this cute Valentine's plant for mommy.  

he was browsing fashion/beauty magazine for mommy. she bought some beauty product today per his advice!

B was carefully blowing his food before eating it.  he is a very neat little guy...

LV Wallets

Before LV gone up price this past Tuesday, I got a little wallet for when i use my smaller purse. Together with my other LV wallet. I love colorful lining of both wallets.

My real Valentine's Day gift is a Chanel bag from husband.  it is from Chanel current season, i had it reserved. hopefully it will arrive soon.

B has no class today. We were going to meet with friend in the mall but we ended up running errands. B had his visa photo taken, i also took some pictures for him. I dressed up a little bit nice for the mall (did not go at the end), wearing a shimmering lavender long cardi with Etro top underneath, carrying a navy BV hobo, Hudson skinny and SW heels.

i got some beauty stuff today in the mail.  I used Dior pink coral lip color today - it is a very light color, almost like nude. i also used this Nars eye make up primer - it works just as it says it would. no smudge all day.

I am finally going to give DDF toner a try...  

Bottega Veneta White Tote

B had a playdate with his beautiful friend in a kids museum. He enjoyed every bit of it. They did craft, story time with animal, monster trucks, reading story to each other... B got a snake toy at the end of the playdate. It was a day he expected and he felt very content.

I wore a grey/green St. John cardi with green stripe Theory top. the white BV tote went well with this color combo.

Super Bowl Sunday

husband was glued to the couch for Super Bowl after Byron's friend's Pool Party.

kids had a splash fun.

I don't dress up for kids' birthday party. as normal, i just tossed on a thin cashmere stripe top and a pair of jeans.  occasion to fashion is like location to real estate.

CNY Gathering at Lotus

this year's Chinese New Year (CNY) was in the middle of the week.  But CNY runs for a week, so we celebrated it on Saturday. 12 people, 2 kids all together.

After a big lunch, we headed to the mall and everyone did some shopping. Zara seems having a big sale. I got 3 Tee - my very first time shopping at Zara. the result? - not so great. :(  i found a hole on one of the Tee.  i could not find receipt, so i have to keep this poorly made tee.  How many times my mom told me 'you get what you pay for' ?!

pictures from our gathering...

A Good Way to Spend Friday Afternoon

as a mother of two, my friend, Sarah is buried by the endless chores... when I offered a make-over, she gladly accepted it.

I took these pictures before I rolled up sleeves and got to the work.

after 35 minutes, Tada -

 during NM last call sale,  I asked her to shop with me. she went, and first thing we picked out for her was these Manolos. they are so versatile, and elegant!  she looked like a million bucks in them!

DvF dress is one of my must- buy every season.  She got a piece too, without doubt. It looked stunning on her. and again, these versatile Manolos went perfectly with the dress.

Need to say more? :-)
