Leopard & Orange

I never knew I would love wearing color so much!!!  I think I've been inspired in so many ways after I started the blog, bold colors stands out and look so good in pictures!  I have been obsessed with orange/coral colors for a while now, and when I saw this orange DVF skirt in my closet, I thought I had to do something with it.  I haven't worn this skirt for at least over 1 year, that's sad for this pretty skirt! 

Leopard was in for fall/winter 2011, so I had acquired few pieces, but haven't really wore them either.  So, I gave the pieces I haven't wore a chance this time!

I don't ever want to be labeled as the girl in pink, as the color is so quintessentially for girls. Therefore, I have very little pink in my closet. I have items that are patterned or used for layering, but I don't own any statement pink pieces. I even try my best not to dress my daughter in pink, although it's almost impossible for little girls. For some reason, when I saw this hot pink skirt, I loved it. It's wool, it's simple, it's got pockets... it's very me. I even paired it with the only light pink top I have.

For the longest time, I didn't know how to wear a cape and look good in it, even though I love the fact that it's easy to wear, loose and comfortable. I am so glad capes are in fashion this season, and there are so many cute capes available. Here are two that I love from Zara.



However, as the cape is a trendy item, and considering NY weather these days, I don't see myself getting a lot of wear out of capes even though they are sooo cute. In the spirit of current trend, I paired an old cape I had with a green skirt for a day at the office while the weather is still somewhat warm.

Fashion's Night Out

by: Mimi

This was my first time experiencing Fashion Night Out, and all I have to say is: What was I doing all those years before when I missed out??? I really didn't know what to expect, except I knew there would be giveaways and lots of people dressing for the occasion. After some research, which made the decision much harder, we ultimately decided to spend the night in the Meatpacking District.

The minute we got to 14th Street and 9th Ave, there were lots of pop up stores with loud music, so I was immediately excited!!! A stop at Alexander McQueen was a must. Drinking a free yummy cocktail around clothing worth thousands of dollars was amazing, especially since it was the legendary Alexander McQueen! We ended the night with our favorite brand, Diane Von Furstenberg, and even had a run-in with Diane herself. We brought home a super cool flip book as our first FNO souvenir. Ah...what a great night!!

The Outfit

I got lots of mixed reviews on this outfit, especially the scarf with the top. I thought I needed to add something special, instead of just wearing a top and pants, but maybe this scarf was not the right item. I was going to take it off, but i just made a thinner band at the neck instead. What do you think of my FNO outfit?

- Top: Romwe

- Pants: Topshop (on sale for $35)

- Shoes: Karin Arabian ($149 at Century 21, European Designer Shoe Department)

- Scarf: vintage

Bracelets: Chan Luu and vintage (available on Blue Fly)

Day & Nite

By: Mimi

I found this blouse on the clearance rack at Bloomies and was excited to pay 1/4 of the original price. I was shopping because I was killing time between work and dinner with my friends. Naturally, I showed the blouse to my friends at dinner, and it was totally vetoed. My friends told me to return it, as I supposedly didn't need to add a floral grandma shirt to my already overflowing closet. I refused to believe it was that bad, so the minute I got home, I tried different combos with this shirt, and here are two that I liked! I'll try out more combinations in the Fall.

• Blouse: Joie (on sale for $46 at Bloomingdales)
• White Shorts: Ali Ro ($40 at Sample Sale)
• Faux Leather Pants: Trouve ($35 at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)
• Cream Crossbody Bag: ($70 at the street of Tokyo in Shibuya)
• Black Bag: Chanel Medium/Large in gold hardware
• Tan Sandals: Anthropology (on sale for $79)
• Black Sandals: Diane von Furstenburg ($129 at TJ Maxx)
• Necklaces: vintage
• Sunglasses: Vouge ($50 at Loehmann's)

What do you think??? Return or Keep?
