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.

who wore it better?

Dress: RM, Roland Mouret Spring 2010

Shoes: Lace up Christian Louboutins Booties

Clutch: Chloe

Necklace: from Neiman Marcus.

Donna Karan Fall 2007

I bought this dress shirt two years ago, and wore it for the first time several weeks ago at Fashion with a Passion event with my beautiful girl friends.

J-Crew 30% sale

Giambasttita Valli Pencil Skirt, it fits like it was made specifically for me. I love pencil skirt. It is essential in any working women's wardrobe.

Osca De La Renta Sweater, 100% cashmere. It feels so good on. I think $200 for a sweater is still a bit much considering a deep discount, but the drop on the back is so unique and beautiful, more over I can wear it more than one ways. I decided to keep the sweater.

J-Crew Calista Cami in Taupe on sale $27.99 check www.jewcrew.com to order your yours

This J-crew gold necklace would go perfectly with the gold accent on the RM dress I have, and only $17 after 30% sale. It's also vailable in white, but I think all gold version looks better.

This is great with jeans, Capri below tucked in. Love the soft silk of all J-crew blouses. I am a big fan.

I love ruffle anything, and love the print on this blouse too. Would be great with capri, skinny jeans or black pencil skirt. Another $27 deal

It's my first time ordering pants from Jcrew. Let's see how they will fit me:). It's like a steal at $10.50 after the 30% discount:)

I love when J-crew has their additional 30% all sale items. Their blouses are great for work, it's nice to send to my besties as gift and not having to pay too much:). When Juicy Boy-short goes on sale at neimanmarcus.com, I stock up for myself and use them as gifts to my besties and nieces.

My weekend fun is usually dinner and movie at home these days. I hardly ever get out anymore, but I am still not married, no kids, I am allowed to go out every now and then I guess:).

RM, Roland Mouret dress, Chloe Clutch, CL pumps, I had on necklace, but was too heavy so I took them off.
