Just Sharing

These pictures are from The Sartorialist Book that I think these looks are interesting of color, pattern and textures combo.

I understand that everyone has their own style, taste and different sense for fashion. Maybe this outfit doesn't look great to someone, but it looks super great to other people. I like to play with my clothing, take a risk of how I pair them and I have fun, enjoy doing it. Fashion is all about choices-the choice for our style with our own fashion sense. Also in life-our choice of manners, our attitude, and our words make us who we are. I appreciate your support and honest comment. We also have freedom of opinion with graceful or ungraceful words. Here and there, I received couple comments from anonymous with not-pretty words. I normally don't moderate them and I don't keep them in mind. Today, with my feeling, I feel like to share this with my graceful readers.

Last week, I went to see Scott Schuman-The Sartorialist, for his book signing when he was in Dallas. It was crowded but worth the wait. I have been learning many things from his book "It's all about self-expression. I rarely shoot a look where I love all the elements. I don't need to love the whole look: I just need to identify the one or two elements that mean something to me, and capture it in the romantic way I see it"......" Let's just say it's a positive and less judgemental way to look at the world". In the first introduction he continues, "I hope that, as you look at the images...rather than giving a look a 'thumbs up' or a 'thumbs down', you will focus on the elements that could inspire you. Maybe you'll find inspiration in a colour combination, or maybe in a play on textures or a mix of genres"

English is not my first language, as many of you already know, but hopefully what I write is pretty enough for you to understand. I don't get to visit all the blogs as often as I used to, simply because I have a house full of family! My parents are here from Vietnam for 6 months, and I want to spend as much time with them as I can. And let's don't forget the two new puppies! They are a handful. Thank you all very much for reading my blog. I'll do my best to keep you interested and coming back.

Have a great day to you all!!!

Christian louboutin Booties

I had seen these Christian Louboutin booties on Barney's website and have been thinking about them for weeks. I was not sure whether to get them or not, because it's pricey. After I saw them again on JakandJik's blog during Paris fashion week, I knew I had to have them for sure.

I'm not a big fan of animal prints, but lately I let myself add more animal print stuff into my closet. I have to say that I like it more and more. It gives you a fun, stylish, elegant look as long as you know how to mix it and keep it clean.

I paired them wrapped jacket, Junya Watanabe leopard top, F21 skirt, tights from Nordstrom, Erva clutch.
Wishing you all a wonderful day ahead!!!

Luna, New member of the family

My big girl has been dreaming about having a puppy for a long time. Finally, we surprised her with a puppy as her early birthday gift. She was very excited, jumped up and down, had tears in her eyes and said" my dream has come true! For the first time I am crying with joy"...so sweet!!!. She named her girl puppy LUNA. Luna is a toy poodle and she's very adorable, with a sweet personality. We easily fell in love with her. My kids play with Luna like a human baby or a toy...poor Luna! I can see how Luna becomes so tired when she's in my kids' hands.
After about 10 days having Luna, I felt like I have a newborn baby. It has a lot of work for a puppy. Just be patient for potty training, things will get easier!!!. I would like you all meet Luna, new member of family.

These pictures were taken on Sunday last week. We were ready for going to visit a relative.

My big girl, she'll turn 8 years old next week.

My little one, she turned 6 years old 2 weeks ago. She has a silly personality.

I wore embellished hoody and joggers by Christopher Kane for Topshop, Sam Edelman boots.
To be fair, I kiss or hug one girl and do the the same to the other girl. So, they are not jealous.
Wishing you all a wonderful day!!!

Thank you everyone for visiting my blog and comment!!!

Bone Chaple Portugal// Alexander McQueen for Halloween

We've had a chance to visit a couple of cities in Portugal. But, in the Halloween spirit, I invite you to go to Evora and visit St. Francis Church where you will find the Capela dos Ossos, or Bone Chapel.
I remember exactly my feeling standing in the middle of Bone Chapel, looking around the walls, columns,and ceiling which are covered in human bones and skulls. It was creepy and scary. I got goosebumps and held my husband's hand for the whole time. I felt sick after that. Sad!!!!
The chapel was constructed back on the 16th century by Franciscan monks who wanted to remind men of their own mortality. No one knows who the bones belong to- apparently they were dug up from a local cemetery which was already old when the monks got to it with their shovels. The bones of about 5,000 people were used to make up the chapel. The chapel is not too far from the main plaza of Evora. These pictures do not do justice to the creepy feeling that I felt.

Inside the chapel. The walls, columns, ceiling which are covered in human bones and skulls.
Some bones fell off of the columns.

Are you ready for Halloween? It's one of the biggest holidays in America. I'm neutral about this
holiday, but my kids are excited and they want to decorate for Halloween this time. They already know what their costumes are. How about you?

Natalia Brilli bracelet, Disce Mori earrings.

Alexander McQueen ring.

Wishing you all a fabulous day!!!

A Trip to NorthPark

I have to say that kids recover very fast from their sickness. After three days of flu, my kids already feel much better and they wanted to get out the house for ice-cream. So, I took them and my parents to NorthPark Mall for lunch, ice-cream and play. We had a great happy time, and I love to see that. I want them to be happy. Sweet!!!

Duck pond in front of Neiman Marcus.

Love this squash display.

My big girl, I just noticed that she needs a haircut.
They had heelys race.

Wishing everyone happy Sunday with your family and friends!!!
