First Day School

today is a special day for lil B.  both mommy and daddy joined in his first day at school.

i thought about 3 outfit this rmorning and this drape dress was my final decision.

i chose this dress for its pretty Fall color combo and loose fit.

 

nude color sandals with grey-ish purple heels

 

morning air was a little crispy, i added a thin cardi.  there, look much more like a mommy.

 

this French Connection dress was my original choice. i opted it out because it is too fitted for the occasion.

 

but i love its perfect tailoring. it's like custom made.

new nail color looks more like deep plum with some grey.

Fall Wardrobe - some new buys

let's see, we got leopard; lace; military style; military green (not taupe).

these are the trends i love to inject to my Fall outfits.

these two dresses can be easily worn to the Fall.

* the first dress is color palette of green, blue, black and beige(not pink-ish).

 

stone color anorak. and two pairs of jeans in season's popular colors and style

 

animal prints mini skirt and  boots with edge.

Hot Summer End

After Labor Day, Summer will be officially over...

although we are having a hot summer end.  we spent last a few days in the pool.   no fashion by the pool side.  only dark tan added to my poor skin.

I finished reading InStyle and PeopleStyleWatch magazines.  i think i have a good idea what's in trend this coming season by now. 

" the key to a new wardrobe isn't what you buy - it's reinterpreting what you already have."

I am gonna have to show this photo to Linlin. This is Her!

Lace is again in trend.

i dress like this in Fall

Fall Florals - again, this is one of my go-to-outfits in Fall

fur vest is still in

green is popular this season

Linlin's go-to-outfit.  just add hat and scarf

.

besides hat and scarf, a jacket will make the same basic outfit look sleek.

green is this season's color. it looks good with brown.

you got to have a fabulous trench coat.

military green jacket.

hm, do i have one? nope. but i'll pass

sweater + shorts + boots combo is chic.

Anorak is more casual than trench coat. i got one this year. i am pretty sure i will wear it more often than my burberry trench coat.  

Natick Collection

we went on a LV bag hunting trip in Natick Collection. The LV store has a big inventory. if you don't see a bag you like on the shelf, you need to ask for it. SA can magically turn it out from the back rooms.

at the end of the trip, we got the winner... i will have to take a good picture for the new bag when Connie carries it with a outfit she choose next time.

 

 what i wore to the shopping trip (4 hours): Anne Klein leopard cow-hair slingback; RM mac purse; Magaschoni leather effect front pleat brown skirt and mint green silk top with wave on the bottom.

Linlin rarely wears heels. these sky high platform pumps made her legs looked mile long.  Connie's dress looked summery and comfortable, matching yellow slides.

coffee break ( we all had second pair shoes with us yesterday in the mall )

 

Action Packed Wednesday

we rushed to the mall after the Museum. and me and my family went to the lil B's new parents party after the mall. i was exhausted by the time we got back home from such a busy day.

the picture of me and gorgeous girlfriend Linlin in Anthropologie store,  little discreet sales room. I did not get anything as usual. neither did my friends. 

Linlin was carrying her new Balenciaga City.

 

i was wearing: H scarf, ToryBurch top, RM mac bag

 

while we were in Anthropologie store, we picked a quiet spot with good lighting for picture-taking.

 

lil B's was eating pretzel in that picture.

 

his portrait right before he fell and had his face scratched that night.  he cried a couple of time when he realized he got a ugly scratch on his face.

 

thanks God, his scratch on the face seems fading fast... i think it will be all gone in a week.

Weekend Activity: Children's Museum & Dinner

 due to the bad weather, we changed our outdoor plan to indoor. 

this ball thing was new to the boys. they spent quite a long time there.

it is so wonderful to have a friend who loves photographing. i am usually the one takes pictures for people. now it feels great to have pictures taken for a change.   those priceless moment were kept in our computers forever. people who doesn't like taking pictures must have great memory...

 

my outfit for the museum and dinner: Tory Burch caftan dress, Prada black patent slides and Ferragamo hobo.

 

two happy mommies

 

she is just so precious.  i blurred the picture for some privacy protection. but you can tell they are both beautiful.

 

finally dinner time! we were all starving..

 

My husband named her style  as 'Japanese Style'.  because it reminds him the time spent in Japan.

sweet, lovely, chic, comfortable...simply gorgeous.

Weekend Activity: Camping

entering the camping area...

 

the cabin for city girls like myself and my girlfriends

 

inside the cabin: two queen size beds and two twin size beds; a table with a lamp and a bench

 

 a ceiling fan in the cabin.  hm, talk about camping in comfort. i think i can live with that.

 

wait a minute, this pose seems very familiar..ohhh, he picked it up from his mommy! lol

 

following the blue dots on the tree,  he did not get lost in the woods. Good Job! 

 

at the end of the hiking trial, there is a beautiful lake and sandy beach.
