Mother's Day Gift

the outfit i wore yesterday.

2010 Mother's Day gift: Hermes scarf- Les Dômes Célestes

i was going to order it from NM since i first saw it on their March The Book, but i was told it was sold out. so i ordered it from H website. the color looks a little different from NM catalogue, but i think they are the same scarf in person.

i could not remember what i got on mother's day last year, so i looked in my May 2009 pictures file. sure enough, this was what i got from last year mother's day. i guess H scarf becomes a mother's day tradition for me...

i got a few things last year from saks first cut sale, this Emili Pucci top was one of them. however, this year, i got nothing. i tried to order a few thing but canceled all of the orders at the end...

Spring Festival

It was more like Summer Festival yesterday. I tried to stay cool, but in the afternoon, i felt a little dizzy inevitability. Is it Global Warming? 97 degree on May 1st in New England!

Hot weather did not stop little B enjoy moon jumping.

Lunch break with mommy

when a man loves his dogs and lives with them for a long time ...tongues out at the same time! lol. It's hot, all right. 

this is my 宅女 outfit of today (i stayed in after our morning exercise in the gym). cotton blouse was from japan, and silk boxer was from HK... i forget what was like to travel by myself. whenever i woke up from my day dream, there was my son right by my side.

i got this 25% off Coach coupon card. If anyone plans to get a Coach bag, please let me know, i will send it to you asap.

DvF Animal Print Dress

We went to the mall today. I was going to pick up a slow cooker, but i changed my mind before I entered Macy's. Instead, i got some make-ups from Shiseido. 

My Shiseido SA is a very sweet, nice Korean lady. She married to a Marine service man and moved to the States... has two beautiful children, son is a lawyer and daughter became a doctor.  She enjoys her job as a make-up SA.  she always takes her time playing with my son, and makes conversations with me.

Every time when she sees me, she would come out from her counter and check out my outfit from head to toe. She told me she liked my today's outfit.

The nude color shoes and the Marc Jacob bag are a good match, but i am not too sure nude pumps look nice against black sheer stockings...Before we went out, I opted for a pair of lower heel, brown pumps with pink heart on the front- they reminded me of a pair Chanel shoes from last winter.

A Special Day

I like a low-key birthday for myself since I turned to 18 years old. I don't tell people about it and I don't throw a party for it. Only my family (including my in-laws of course) knows about it. When my husband helped me set up my facebook, he added my birthday in my file. I was pleasantly surprised by many birthday greetings from my facebook yesterday.

This lovely orchid is from my mother in law. It lights up my mood whenever I see it.

this is the outfit i wore yesterday. I did not take a mod picture because time was tight. The new Gucci scarf turned out to be a very nice choice. if i must compare, it is better than my McQ skull with angel wing scarf.  best of all, it doesn't snag.  while McQ has several snags already.

To start off my special day, we went to New England Aquarium because mommy wanted to see some beautiful sea creatures on her birthday. hahah... DS had fun there. I felt very content while watching his little face filled with amusement.

Nearby Aquarium, is the best restaurant in town, Chart House. the best part of my birthday was accomplished with a very satisfying seafood meal.

The truth is, every day is special day that I am so incredibly lucky to spend it with this person.

A very modest FF loot

don't know where to start... I was absent from my blog for a week. there is something wrong with me- I am out of order.  I had two accidents (including the one i talked about previously), very minor ones, but still... my confidence was crashed a little too. i lost a night's sleep and pondered with self blame (or self-doubt?).  am i a good driver for my son?! ... btw, my husband hates all the inconvenience i caused.

Life still goes on, even after two accidents happened... I took DS to the places so that he could enjoy himself. he pointed out there's scratch (actually was some scratch + a hole) in front of my rental car before he gets in his seat every time.

Only two things in my FF loot this time around: I returned a LV scarf last month, so i got this grey Gucci scarf as a replacement. Then a Dior eye shadow. - that is all, the most modest loot i did since i started to shop from saks ff sales.

If you look the eye shadow picture close enough, you can see some colors on the sponge applicators - that was how it came in!  i felt uncomfortable to see it. i don't want to think someone had used it already. because you can not sell returned/used make-up, period. but these days, you never know, because stores just don't seem to care no matter what.

Last, drive safely, my friends.

A Trip to NM

Today's ODJ to NeimanMarcus: Prada bag; SW shoes; Spanx stockings; Ralph Lauren Blue label wool/cotton shirt; Puma top; VS shorts

Give Away: I'd like to give this $50 perk card to one of my readers.If your local NM store has a restaurant, you and your shopping partner can use this card and enjoy a free meal! Please let me know soon, so i can mail it to you before it expires (April 30).

T shirt Dress

I shopped today. in the morning, we went to the mall and i got this teal blue stripe T shirt dress (see mod pic), and a light grey feather pattern/sequin embellishment, chain shoulder with cut out detail.  Later in the afternoon,I saw this necklace from Aldo window display and went in, found out it was only $15! it weighs pretty heavy. looks very cute in person. In the evening, I got a email from bare-essential for free shipping on any order, i snatched a pair of floral lace capri for my new T shirt dress. - i think they are better fit than the tights showing in the mod pic.

*one of  the season's trends: denim bag.
