Blue Happiness

There is nothing more precious than being healthy. After being under the flu spell for one week, I was finally well enough to venture out of the house. When I got this cashmere sleeveless dress, I was ecstatic, but wore this piece only twice. Cost per wear is actually pretty high, which is really against my savvy principle of low cost per wear. Reason was I couldn't wear it by itself, like on the runway.  The dress is actually a deep V cut design down the front. The two scarf attachments are supposed to be worn on the back. Anyhoo, I discovered by chance a navy blue fitted top which paired perfectly well with the dress. Yay!!! Previously, I would wear it with a cream ruffle blouse or a denim jacket over the dress.

To complete the look, I wore the pair of boots I got recently. Throwing on a pair of boots makes the look more casual.  And, jewelry pieces from Angela M. Design on Shop Savvy Mode add a bit of sparkle to shine a gal's day. I am going to buy a few more of these fitted bodysuits as layering piece. They are truly perfect year round.

What I am Wearing: Chanel cashmere dress, Wolford bodysuit, Coach boots, Angela M. Design necklace and bracelet.

Long and Short of Hair

The constant in my life is change and that applies to my hair as well. Over the years, my hair went from short to semi-short to short bob to long bob to long of various length and style. Looking forward to 2012, the lovely dragon year, I am thinking about how to revamp myself and the hair again.

Of all the styles, bob of any length is the easiest for me. A good stylist will save much time in the morning for a gal. With my bob cuts, the only thing I need to do is blow dry and maybe flat iron for a few minutes for a more sleep look.

As much as I complain about long hair, I am beginning to miss the long hair look.

Decision, decision..... Which style do you all think fits me the best?

Being Friend with an Ex?

It is inevitable sometimes that a relationship breakup due to various factors. Regardless of the reason, such a turn of event always hurts like hell. The phrase "my heart is breaking" is rather befitting. There were occasions in the past when I felt my heart was literally breaking into little pieces. Anyhoo, that is not my point. When relationship break up, sometimes one party will ask to remind a friend. Depending on the breakup, I don't mind remaining casual friend after an extended period of time has passed and feeling, sorted out. Recently I have been hearing guys asking to be friends after a breakup. Obviously something went wrong for a relationship to breakup so how do/can people switch from romantic into platonic relationship just like that?

In my opinion, these guys have motives. One, the guy is hoping get her back by being in her life as a friend. Two, the guy knows the relationship isn't working but he does not want to be alone until he finds the next one. Nowadays, my thought is I have more than enough friends so an ex really does not need to be on the friend list. Besides, if a guy does something bad to cause the breakup then why do we want him as a friend? A friend does not hurt another friend like that. If that happens, would you want that friend as a friend still? SO, do you believe ex should be the past or can an ex be a friend after a relationship ends?

The beauty of mother nature never cease to amaze me no matter how often I look around me or up toward the sky. The short video really captured the beauty and I thought to share this with everyone.  I want to take this time to wish all those who celebrate Lunar New Year a happy new dragon year and may you and yours have a prosperous year ahead. ~x Angela 2012

More Furry Boots at Loro Piana

When I saw this at Loro Piana, my first thought was REALLY. Anyhoo, fur boots seem to be everywhere and everyone is joining the bandwagon. In a strange way, I liked this all white/cream look. However I will just admire this from the window as I am sure living in SoCal, I will really have many chances to wear these furry boots. Are you into furry boot mind set yet??
