Thanks to the Ohio weather... It's almost fall here for only a few days.. so I finally got the chance to wear these Margielas.

same as the last post.. I digged out the white blazer that I bought more than a year ago but never got to wear it even once. So I tried to pair it up with the white dress from MINT.

I have been looking for the perfect nudy pumps around for a while. And finally got these in by accident... (yes it was the Project No.8 sale)

The weather was really nice outside so I was having a picnic mood!!
took this mini muse two for a shot!

I really love YSL bags because they are so simple and not too loud.

Yes. and I received this mini muse yesterday!!!



I LOVE mini muse!! they just look like miniature (they actually are! :P)
The one I want most is the crocdile leather one or the satin! it makes the size perfect!
well but the thing is that I'm a big-purse person since I usually carry tons of things with me...agenda, two cameras, huge wallet, etc... don't know how many times I will use it / how long I will keep it...hmmm


anyways!! I can't wait to see my Margiela boots tomorrow!! Yes I ordered them and they are coming! (the mesh one)

P.S: I'm in the middle of preparing for my little vintage/altered clothing and accessory collection. I can't tell you more now but all the pieces in it will be super comfortable and easy to wear!!
Stay tuned!!

YSL studded Easy Rock...and my wedding gown!

So I got 3 new babies today :P

not sure if I'm gonna keep all of them but definitely this one!!!!
O.M.G. the moment I tried it on, I knew I found the one I've been waiting for!!!

It's been months (more than half a year actually) since last time that I'm feeling this way about a bag!!!
haha. I have bought a few bags till now but not anything exciting like this one!!

I was not sure if I liked the black Y-rock so much but this white one definitely fits me I guess =D
It's just the right size and right color and texture and combinaton of softness and something fun.
It is a very serious bag but not SO serious :p

oh and I'm wearing the sandals my friend UA got me from the Margiela sale in NYC (thanks so much!)
and U KNOW WHAT? I picked up my Vera Wang wedding gown today!!! YAY
well I'm not gonna wear it for the small U.S wedding next weekend but I'm taking it to Japan and China for my two big weddings next year!!!
(but I'm still gonna wear another Vera Wang gown next weekend for the small wedding!)
