Happy Chinese New Year!

兔跳步步高！

Hop to New Heights in the year of Rabbit!

A beautiful card sent by my artistic, sweet, thoughtful mother-in-law.

both my husband and I cook in our house.

Am i a good cook?  I cook stuff that suit to my taste.

since today is CNY, I cook all day long. started with these things in the morning -

more traditional food will follow later of the day...

my little American boy, however, still prefers his scramble eggs and breakfast sausage with French toast and juice.  no exception even on CNY.

it seems his father has more influence on him than i do.

Recent Purchase

while we are getting another 2 feet of snow, Mr. FedEx showed up at my door and i signed this box from BergdorfGoodman...

Thakoon silk dress

it's an origami design, the back is gorgeous. it is hard to tell all the cool details without being on a model. I will definitely take picture when i am ready to wear it this summer.

Green M Missoni jersey dress with attached green/brown zig zag scarf.

same dress in black color with black white zig zag scarf attached.

both dresses have side pockets for casual vibe.  which means i can wear them more often.

RalphLauren Blue Label cream lace/ruffle tunic. it has a vintage vibe.

every winter, i pick up a couple of Wolford tights.

MMJ wool Sack & Ferragamo coral Hobo

Sunday -

we went to the mall and picked up another luggage for our trip. We met some friends in the mall, B had a good time at playground with his friends.

B was looking at Yojibo catalogue. He really wants one. 

 he visits the store every time when he is in the mall.

But, daddy said no. he said, between mommy's stuff and B's stuff, we don't have room for a Yojibo...

Saturday -

 B asked baby back ribs for lunch. we went to a steakhouse.

Friday -

He has no school on Friday. He played with his toy in his room. started to get bored...

...had some cute pictures taken. what's next...

he had a playdate with his new friend!

A Snowy Winter Day

this morning, we woke up to a white world with flying snow in the air.

whole family stayed in. husband had to work. B tried to keep himself occupied.. there he was playing xbox in his comfy PJ.  as for me,  i caught up with some readings online/fashion magazines.

snow stopped in the afternoon. we were out to dig the car out. snow truck was already there pushing snow around and making snow mountains.

since we stuck-ed in the house, i had time to take pictures for the stuff i got during xmas and after xmas...

(*you can see the details with brand name when you click on the picture).

a navy toggle wool coat with plaid lining and hood.

this sweater just arrived in the mail today. the neck warmer is removable for more versatile looks.

a beret hat with bow

a cashmere sweater with rabbit fur trim and sequin.

New Leather Jacket

while my friend was waiting for her new pair of Manolos being wrapped up, she took some pictures for me in NM shoe dept.

right before i left the NM contemporary dept, I saw this lonely jacket hanging there waiting for being adopted.  I had a couple of minutes to kill while waiting for friend to check out. but as soon as i put it on, i wanted it!

no surprise. another DvF silk jersey dress... friend got one too.

there are some Chanel pieces on sale. I resisted the temptation and did not get any of them. my SA was disappointed... she was so excited when she presented 3 pieces she just got her hands on. 

Gathering at Natick

after holiday, we finally got a chance to get together.

Minnie Mouse Skirt

i was not sure about this outfit this morning when i put it on.  but time ran out, i was pushed out of door.  everybody is sick of me being late... time to change.

gosh, so high key - shiny booties, shiny bag, red jacket, polka dot skirt... i looked like i was desperately looking for attention. hmm.

beautiful boys always look effortless adorable.

...add a butterfly background. it's easy to slide from being bold to being tacky. i think i was hanging on the edge with this outfit.

better without red jacket, maybe?

B was eating breakfast while waiting for his play date.
