something old and something new

I had on my orange necklace I bought from Neiman Marcus this past summer, but it's too heavy to I took it off and put in my clutch. Size 34, fits me quite nice. Now the ruffle is made of some foaming material, I have to find a special dry cleaning place for this dress.

Jil Sander Spring 2010 (love it)

I let go some of the items that I no longer want in my closet to trade for this beauty. I promise myself, if I buy something new, I must get rid of something in my closet to save space. It's a good way to recycle and not having to spend additional money:).

Aside from this, I took myself off of Facebook for good. I just can't stand being connected to a handlful of house wives who have nothing to do than being nosy and goship about other people all day long. Aside from that a handful of unhappy devorced women who constantly feeding my daily read with nothing but negative comments either cursing and talking about others' business directly or indirectly. I honestly have no time for people like this in my life and I am too old for these HS acts. I am a fairly straight forward if I dont like someone, I will just ignore them and exclude them in my life, or if I care about someone enough and I am unhappy with something they do I would talk to them directly. I am an open book.

Every morning I drive to work passing by the house that is currently under construction, I see a crew of workers started working already making me so happy that it will be no time until I will move in with my brother's in his new bachelor pad. In about a year or two, probably will have something built as well, currently still negotiating on the nice lot and looking at the what floor plan I want. Lastnight, we spoke with the architechture and as soon as we settle on the lot, we will have him get started on the drawing immediately:). The most important room in the house will be my huge closet with lots of shoes and hanging space, wood floor and enough to put a sofa and nice small coffee table:), let's it be my dream for now, but I will make it reality, just matter of time:).

saving for the future

Modern/Contemporary house Designed by Quoc Vu, build by Denco Builder by Quoc Vu

My brother is a builder and he is building his own home. It's a modern contemporary house with lots of wow factors, spiral stainless steel and glass stair case, lots of glass and huge commericial glass windows all around the house, all stucco, white brick and stone.

I am saving up and looking for a lot and will have my brother build a house someday. Found a nice lot, close to 15,000 square feet lot, hopefully the negotiation process will go through and the seller will accept our offer.

A sneak peak of my brother's new bachelor pad. I may use the same floor plan and modifying the lay out. I can't wait to see his finished product. Time to focus more into bigger investment and future and I guess no more new shoes or dress:( but I feel like I have enough clothes to last me for the next 5 years:).

my wish list

I got a flyer from Neiman Marcus earlier this week about their up coming first call sale online and instore. I already have few itesm on my wish list. Marc by March Jacob lace top and Marc & Camilla leather jacket. Hope they will be included in the 40% sale.

Halloween

I saw these costumes on these two models and I would love something like that for Halloween, but I was unable to find something similiar which was decent. I would say this would be my first choice.
I think this is cool and sexy, but I just don't have the courage to dress like that and walking out in public plus I look horrible with that blonde wig:)


This would be my second choice only if I could do the face paint make up that look as good as this.

I went through different make up tutorials do the cat make up and all sort of other dramatic make up, wiped off my face with make up remover several times, and I gave up trying to look different. I ended up dressing like MJ look except I was missing one white glove:). In the pic I wore:
Black legging
black Oscar De la Renta sweater
Christian Louboutin Fringe boots
Hat from Forever21 purchased last year

I love anything white and some soft color blouses and dresses

I love all white and Ivory dresses, blouses. White makes me feel pure, and soft pink like the dress above makes me feel soft,pretty and romantic. I especially love draping details on tops, skirts and dresses.

I don't always go couture

As much as I love designers and couture, I don't like to look fancy on daily basis. The fancy designer and couture are more for special occasion. For everyday and casual stuffs, I particularly love Theory, Vince, J-crew and few other brands when I find cute things that are reasonably priced. I ordered a pair of khaki skimmer pants from Jcrew.com last week, it arrived on Thursday and I am wearing it now, I love how it fit and how very comfy and casual it feels--> the result, call me crazy if you want, but I ordered three more pairs in three different colors. I can't beat the sale price of $14.99. The total cost for three pairs of pants come to $57 which included tax and shipping. Regular price $69.99. Here they are:

Awaiting for my goodies to arrive and Nha-Khanh's Debut show

Jil Sander






I attended Nha-Khanh's Debut fashion show lastnight at the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas. The event turned out nicer than what I thought it would be. Lots of beautiful fashionistas were present at the event including some of my beautiful friends. I also met and made new friends as well. For the event, I wore black Jil Sander dress from Fall 2009 collection, necklace from Nordstrom and Giusepi Zanotti. Beside, I've been cutting back and realistically speaking slacking off with my work out routine, these days I don't do as hard-core, just three days a week and less weight, less intense. I want to start a new work out routine again to prepare myself for a photo shoot before my next birthday:) in 2011.
