Isabel Marant tee, rivera scarf, zillah jeans | Rebecca Taylor boucle jacket | Zara sandals

Though the weather was still kind of chilly but I still want to sport my Zara sandals....I just really love the design. The weather is quite perfect to wear those boucle jackets and jeans...they are just so comfy and chic at the same time. By attending one of the online universities you could become a designer yourself!

looking at myself

 I am lacking a camera man today so I just thought sharing couple of my Instagram images here. Finally figured out more tricks with using the app and the photos came out a lot more interesting than just using the default setting.

Itzel rose jeans

I thought I was done with IM jeans this season until I saw the images floating online....they are absolutely gorgeous. The dye is not just rose color but also with some hint of sky blue...as you can see from the first photo.
The inseam of the jeans is super long - 35 inches. I think I will unfold them when I wear regular pumps but I do love the fact that I could play with the hem lines...Using the Guide to Career Education can help you start a career as a seamstress!

For sale: 
I actually bought this pair of jeans in two sizes...FR36 and FR38. Based on the online stores sizing information, I thought 38 would fit me but they were a little too big. So I got the 36. I am selling the 38 for $420 shipping included in the US, we will split the shipping for international buyer. I wore them once for a dinner and still have the tags. Please email me for more info if you are interested.  The size 38 would fit jeans size 27 (I am size 26 in jeans)....

Last Friday was another gorgeous day....my friend and I went for lunch to enjoy the nice weather outside.

Patterned jeans are so IN right now and it's also the perfect weather to wear jeans....the temperature difference is so dramatic between morning and afternoon.
I've always had a little hard time with this pair of jeans....the length is a little awkward. (I wonder how Elin Kling did the bottom....see her blog post here .. I couldn't tell how she did it but she's done something.) It's the perfect length for me but it looks awkward...it's not short enough to show off the buckles of the sandals and not long enough to create those scrunches look. But I can't fold them either because the inside is white not the same as the outside color. I think they only look seamless with pumps which I didn't wear...should have when I stepped out of the door. Well...next time.....

stripes + leopard

I finally caved and got the anthracite rivera scarf...sometimes when I get dressed and I just felt I lacked the fun black scarf so I eventually got the anthracite rivera scarf. It's still available here...I guess it's the warm season is coming up so this color is still available but I really recommend this scarf for cooler days because it's just so unique and give an edge to the outfit...the white/violet stripes have the ability to tie some whites and pinks together to the outfits.

The YSL sandals are the lower heeled version...they are very comfortable and stylish at the same time. I got them last summer and stored them in the box and when I took them out last night...they looked practically new to me. It's my personal preference, I always put rubber sole on the bottom of my shoes, it's less slippery and gives me some kind of cushion when my feet hit the concrete walkways.....I bet there are other tips and tricks available to learn if you take OnlineCourses.net in fashion from OnlineCourses.net.

white jacket + lurex silk skirt

Hanes tee | Isabel Marant lurex skirt | Zara jacket | Dannijo sinatra necklace | Alexander Wang ankle boots | Givenchy pandora (M) | Calvin Klein men's leather belt

I was looking for a very very simple black leather belt and this weekend at the outlet mall, I found it. It's listed as $29.99 but there's additional discount, the final price was $23 something....I was very happy. ^_^
The weather finally warm up again and I took this fantastic Zara fantasy white jacket out, it runs TTS and very comfortable. White is a little bit scary for me to wear but it's just too pretty to pass it up. I actually had a little hard time this morning when I got dressed because somehow the white jacket just too white for my liking (I felt I looked like I was trying a little too hard at an office environment) and I asked my friends later...one said the skirt is too short and another said the heels are too high....I guess I really have to keep it in mind this skirt is strictly for weekend only....regardless how pretty it is to me....

gray Zara jacket

Was just browsing Zara.com and saw this beautiful jacket is up on the US online store....it's bit expensive $159 but I thought it's such a beautiful. I am just wondering if Zara will have this in another color...black or white or pink. Zara has been very convincing this season...OMG...I found it to be hard to resist their new pieces...
Get it here......

july in april

Marni Tee | CoH skinny jeans | Isabel Marant july jacket | Zara sandals | Chanel jumbo flap in navy patent leather 

We drove to up north for a mini getaway for my birthday...had a lot of fun. So the july jacket just had to come with me to share the joy. I bought a leather belt and a small pouch at the outlet stores....the price was already really good and when I checked out, there's discount on top of the good price. yay!!

Got this Marni tee ($92) at the beginning of the fall on Yoox.com and today finally got to wear it for the first time. The small collar and straight cut at the waist are the features I like the most and the fabric is very soft and no pilling...The Zara sandals are so gorgeous and do not look $49.90...there are totally 4 colorways but I thought black is very classic. Though they are inexpensive but I don't think I want to have them in all the colorways though I was seriously thinking of red/fushia but decided not to. The style is very feminine and sexy so may be red would be too over the top.

The Chanel jumbo was purchased second handed...it was already lower than the retail and in an excellent condition. It's so roomy and the quality was very good. It's not vintage but it's at around or before 2007 production so the quality was noticeably better than the current flaps - just my own personal preference. The Chanel classic flaps are so expensive now, they are about $4500-$5000 a pop...I am just going to hold on to the Chanel goodies I already own.

This Zara top (get it here) was so cute when I saw it in person....I saw it online first but never paid it any mind. It's just so much cuter in person. It also comes in yellow.
I've been so into black and white combo lately....don't know why. May be because of the simplicity of it or may be because of the crispy neatness to it. It's just very simple and effective....

fringes

Hanes Tee | Isabel Marant rivera scarf, renells jeans, mony boots, jacket | Club Monaco cardigan | Givenchy pandora (M) | Zara belt | Dannijo sinatra necklace

I was never a fringes lover but since getting to know about Isabel Marant's design...I just thought it's one of the coolest idea. It just adds some edge to the piece...when it's done perfectly. I love it in small doses.....
I believe I've shown the black and the white Hanes tees...and this is the gray one I got from the same order. I still think they are quite great for simple basis. Especially if you want to wear some statment necklace, the small collar is great for that purpose...I am bit picky about the necklace touching my skin/sweat, in case i'll have an allergic reaction.
Spring is here but the weather is still kind of chilly which makes it hard to get dressed in the morning. I don't want to wear a coat which means wearing pants/jeans is a better option to keep myself warm. I guess that's why looking back the recent posts...I've been wearing mostly trousers instead of dress/skirt. The comforting thought is I get to wear my favourite jeans most of the time....
