Isabel Marant - Renell Jeans

top: a cashmere top from Searl NY (sorry can't really see it)

jeans: Isabel Marant, Renells

shoes: Isabel Marant, Dana

belt: Zara

scarf: Dries Van Noten

jacket: Rick Owens

Finally I bit the bullet and got the Renells Jeans from Matches Fashion because it's about $100 cheaper after tax...though the shipping cost was steep but it's so worth it since it's just as fast as getting something from the US with express shipping.
I have not tried on other jeans from IM so I can't speak for the sizing but from I've read, these run small...I got the size 1. From the label it says there's 2% elastic material but I felt there was no stretch on the fabric at all. They sit very low as well but the pattern is just absolutely amazing...I even got compliment while taking the photos.

I also want to add about wearing leather jacket...I always wear a scarf because I don't want a grease spot on the collar which is hard to get rid of. And I don't think getting the leather jacket cleaned by professional frequently is such a good idea. The leather would shrink a little, right now it's perfect fit and I don't want it to be any smaller than it is. Just something I want to share.

Zebra Scarf

shorts: French Connection

jacket: Isabel Marant Etoile. Lexy

scarf: Chan Luu

shoes: Isabel Marant

purse: Chanel Reissue 227

Work has been so busy and I finally had time to update my blog. Here again my current favourite IM jacket and I paired it with shorts. I love shorts, it's so just convenient and easy to match with any tops. I love the fabric of these shorts, they are good for both cold and warm weather. This CL scarf is so soft and warm...I just love the fact that it's the attention piece of the whole outfit.

Thanks for reading and yeah ~~~~ it's Thursday tomorrow....almost there!!

Leather Pants

top: Asos

pants: Leith leather leggings (Nordstrom.com)

shoes: Isabel Marant

jacket: Rebecca Taylor

scarf: Theory

After a nasty Wednesday, Thursday turned out to be a beautiful day. I took my RT boucle and this pair of leather pants out for a spin. I really love this pair of leather pants, got them from Nordstrom for 40% off. I wore them so much last winter/spring and they actually split at the bottom part. I asked the dry cleaner to fix them and they are holding up fine for now....let's hope they will hold up just fine. They actually molded into my shape and just so comfortable. I've seen a lot of people pairing leather pants with a simple tee but I wanted a silk blouse to make it more interesting.
This scarf was about $280 original price and I got them for $50 with no tax added to it. It's not as soft as cashmere but I love a thick feel scarf and the color is just very beautiful.

Sergio Rossi Zipper Boots

top: Christopher Fisher

skirt: Theory

jacket: Isabel Marant Etoile

shoes: Sergio Rossi

scarf: LV

necklace: Christian Effe

This pair of SR short boots are so comfortable and look so edgy at the same time. Those zipper are quite annoying when put them on and off but the design is just so great. And it's interesting the zipper design is on both the shoes and the skirt.

brown + wine

top: ASOS

pants: Elise Overland

jacket: Etoile Isabel Marant

shoes: Isabel Marant

scarf: LV

I can't have enough of this IM boucle....not that i like looking down but these are the only pictures came out in focused. Not sure why the camera man kept having trouble focusing at me....hope it's not my camera's problem.

Missoni Throw from Target

I finally received this throw 3 days ago. I ordered it right before the website crashed and I am so glad to finally have it on my couch. This has been quite frustrating to keep getting email notification of delays and suggestion of cancellation. This is the only item I bought and I did try to find other options of a throw but this is really my favorite, in terms of design and price range.

Rag & Bone - Galaxy Leggings

 

top: Asos

pants: Rag & Bone - Galaxy

shoes: Bruno Premi (yoox.com)

jacket: Armani (ebay: fashionandu)

scarf: Look by M

I was debating if I should buy this galaxy legging now or wait till they go on sale...and as you see, I caved. The fit is very flattering and it's not very stretchy which I love. I don't like stretchy material because I just worry if it's not going to bounce back and permanently stretched. My Celine ankle boots was falling apart right in front of my eyes while I took them to the cobbler. I was very disappointed and found this replacement. They are completely flat and kind of funky. And I do need a pair of flat boots for winter. I've been over doing heels and my feet are complaining big time. They usually hurt for a day or two and this time....my feet are still kind of bothering me after a few days. I should be really kind to my feet...instead of loving my shoes only.
I had no idea the leggings and the ankle boots look so boyish & playful together. Not really what I imagined, and a good surprise.
Sorry I didn't post any behind photos...my buns can't do them justice....:P

Isabel Marant - Lexy Jacket

dress: Paul & Joe Sister

jacket: Etoile Isabel Marant, Lexy in bordeaux

shoes: Chanel

bag: Zara

I took my new lexy jacket out for a spin. The color is absolutely gorgeous...especially when it was under the sun, the wine color just pops.
And I also want to talk a little bit more about this Chanel boots. I seriously think Chanel make the most comfortable shoes. I only have two pairs so I can be very wrong. I think the front of the shoes are very solid and the rest of the shoes are very soft so they aren't hurting my feet. The shape of the round toe is so classic. 

Daily Dose of Chocolate -

I thought the packaging of this chocolate by FIKA is so brilliant and witty. Can't help but sharing this with you. $6 is a little steep but I will try them some day. Their coffee is very good....I always treat myself when I have a long tough day.

white tee + black shorts

top: Rag & Bone pocket tee

shorts: Muubaa (nastygal.com)

shoes: Chanel

scarf: YSL

bag: Zara

The weather has been very warm so I decided to go barelegged this morning when I stepped out of the door. I love the fact that leather shorts can always make me feel better about something so simple. I mentioned this YSL scarf before that I got it on sale, it's so soft and warm..too warm for today but it just look so chic.

snake printed trousers

 

 

top: American Apparel, here

trouser: Zara, similar here & here

shoes: Isabel Marant, Gwen (LaRee Boutique)

jacket: Armani (ebay: fashionandu)

bag: Zara

I want to wear more often of this gorgeous IM pumps before it gets too cold. I don't really have any cropped pants and felt it's a waste of money just to buy one pair of pants for a pair of shoes. I wanted a pair of animal print trouser just to have some fun and I thought this pair is really worth the money. Since it's such a pair of on trend piece and I didn't feel the need to spend more than 100 on it. I am eyeing a pair of Acne bordeaux jeans (not cropped but not long, very awkward length) and may be I'll get them and roll them up like this pair when they go on sale. Bordeaux - what an awesome and rich color, so much depth.......

The white tee the fit is very flattering but it piles as I breathe.

Since the snake printed is already busy so I decide to pair with a white tee instead of a black tee, this way the line of the jacket will stand out more, especially the collar detail I really like.

silk + fringe

dress: Brian Dales (Yoox)

jacket: Rick Owens

scarf: Alexander McQueen, pashmere 

shoes: Isabel Marant, Dana

bag: Chanel

I am enjoying the beautiful weather and to celebrate it I picked the silk dress when I got dressed this morning. The fringe just clash so well with this silk dress...I didn't want anything safe this morning, I wanted something unexpected.
For some reason I've always liked the combination of leather with McQueen skull scarf. Though the chiffon version is the most popular scarves around but it's not warm enough for me and too flimsy so I picked the pashmere (modal) version. The color it bit orange red and it's very very bright which I LOVE.

fur + leather + leopard

 

 

top: Rag & Bone Tee

pants: Leith

jacket: Armani Collection (ebay: fashionandu)

fur vest: Michael Kors

shoes: YSL

It's a little chilly so I bundled up. The original price of the jacket or I should call it cardigan was more than $1000 but I got it on ebay for 1/5 of the price. The detailing was very nice and I especially like the collar that I don't have to wear a scarf. I purchased the fur vest last winter for a little less than $400 and it's real fur....I think it was Mongolian sheep fur, the texture is just fun and edgy, very different from regular fur that we see.
After looking at the pictures, I thought I should have worn the bordeaux tee instead of the loyall blue tee, it is not really greeting the cold weather, it would have been different if there was some sun.
The tote was carrying the camera and I like it a lot because it got this zipper that I can feel extra secure that my stuff won't fall out. It's a shopping bag came with the jacket when I bought the RO leather jacket on the OUTNET.
