Gareth Pugh Leather Scarf

This outfit was my favorite outfit of the month; November. I actually wore it so many times in the last four weeks. Two weeks ago, I finally managed to take pictures of it, but I didn't have a chance to share it before we went on our trip to California. I will see you in Dallas tomorrow. Here is the outfit:

Balenciaga jacket was over 2 years ago, from consignment store INA in NYC.

This is my coolest scarf in my closet; Gareth Pugh leather scarf which I purchased sometime long ago. I've gotten tons of compliments whenever I wear it. I styled it with Proenza top, Madewell jeans, Alaia heeled-hiking boots.

Christopher Ross rabbit buckle belt.

IDEA TIP for DIY this scarf: you could find a nice piece of leather, faux leather, or suede, or fabric which is medium weight and still gives a good permanent raw edge. It is about 3 yards 12 inches long and about 13 inches wide (or whatever size you like). Then, use a chalk to draw and cut out the pattern as it shows in the pictures above. The last thing you need is your time and be patient...At least, you don't have to sew ;)

Artistic Mind

My little girl loves art; drawing, painting, designing clothing for her doll or for herself. She can do things like that all day without complaining.

This is her sketch for her dress when she was 4 years old. Her first time to design clothes. She actually picked out her own color and fabric. Grandma was the one to sew the dress for her.

She was in her dress for her 6 year old birthday.

She takes advantage of wherever she can draw or paint, whether at a swimming pool or at the airport while we're waiting for our flight, or in the air plane...

This is her self portrait when she was 6 years old.

She just turned 7 last month and this is her recent design for her doll's clothes. She wanted exactly the color and the sketch as shown on the right.

This is her dog that she wished for when she was 4 years old.

This is her drawing for Halloween this year.

This is my favorite one. She recently drew it for Thanksgiving.

My big girl doesn't like art that much. But whenever she does arts or crafts, she includes details and does a great job. This is her Turkey. She has a scientific mind.

Thank you everyone for visiting!!! Have a wonderful day!!! and...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Polka Dots + Leopard Prints for Day and Night

The mixed prints formula: polka dots + leopard = my favorite mixed prints of this season. It looks effortless but over the top. Yes, it instantly updates your look.

When it comes to wearing leopard prints, you should be careful because it could make you look like you got lost on the way to the zoo. A little touch of leopard in your outfit is perfectly young, in style, and chic. It's just my sense of style.

For daytime: Dolce & Gabbana polka dots top, Haider Ackermann jacket, Elizabeth & james biker pants, Marni leopard bag, Jeffrey Campbell lita boots.

For nighttime: Dolce & Gabbana top and skirt, Guiseppe Zanotti leopard wedges.

Janis Savitt necklace.

One of my favorite Balenciaga jackets was over 2 years ago which I purchased at INA consignment store in NYC.

Kangaroo Sweater

Yes, I gave a nickname to this Tao by CdG sweater, the Kangaroo, because of its front pouch. I've found this sweater to be so much fun and I also love its prints and color. It was also another piece that I found at Barneys in Dallas from the 20% off promotion with 10% going to charity. The toy was a gift for my kids from me. I love her face and her shearling jacket with bear hood..

Diversity

I love this Kimme Winters necklace which I found it at boutique Fortyfiveten. The blue beads, the cross, and the Buddha pendant-these elements make this necklace is interesting. Yes, I thought about giving it a nickname: Diversity, Undecided, Indecision or "Living Buddha, Living Christ" by Thich Nhat Hanh. What would you name it?

I paired it with a vintage ram necklace. Jcrew shirt, Isabel Marant fall 2010 pants.

Here, my first Kimme Winters Buddha necklace was years ago. I noticed that Kimme's necklaces incorporate unusual artifacts and mixes them with a variety of pendants such as: Buddha, cross, charm of Mary, medallions, heart charm..ect...and beads which make her necklaces are different. Miu Miu shoes.
