Happy Halloween!! BOO!!!





How sad is it, when you can go into your every wardrobe and pull out a costume...very sad--LOL

This is how I went to work today, with kitten ears...the necklace is my regular pearl necklace, that I twisted in ribbon. I was trying to create a ruffle effect, but it didn't quite come out the way I planned, but I did like the texture it created.

Tomorrow we are going to a Halloween party :) I would rather buy myself another blouse then a costume, so I was digging in my closet and found this. I'm trying to go for a 60's look! I'm going to buy a peace sign necklace tomorrow morning or some big plastic jewelry, hopefully the stores won't be packed---hmmm we'll see.

Another TLC moment


The women on TLC What Not to Wear has a lace cami underneath, but its very hard to see with the glare. What do you think...similar?

Lately I've been labeling my outfits as 'hit' or 'miss', this would be a miss because I wouldn't wear this combo again, I didn't feel 100% confident with my look and I rather repeat the things that make me feel pretty :)

Shoes--Nine West (remix)
pinstripe pants--Banana Republic

Monday & Tuesday






I recently purchased this suit, even though I already own the pant version of it. I knew I shouldn't have purchased it, but I really wanted the skirt, I even asked the sales lady if she can just sell me the skirt, but of course I had to buy the whole thing. I don't regret it, but I still wished she just sold me the skirt since I already owned the blazer. I wore it to a trade show today, so I was very happy with my choice of outfit.

Also, I want to mention that these shoes from Avon are so wonderful, I was impressed with not only the genuine leather (upper) but the comfort too. I have recently started to become a huge Avon fan, they have good stuff at great prices.

I do have to admit I need to work on my make-up...with the change of seasons, my skin tone changes color (lighter or darker) so I have to find a new foundation that matches more my skin color as it is now.

Monday:

Blouse--Merona Collection
jeans--Mossimo Premium Denim (remix)
shoes--Avon
tank--Banana Republic (remix)

Tuesday:

Suit--Calvin Klein
tank--Banana Republic
Shoes--Anne Klein (remix)
Purse--Buxton

Off to the air show






My husband and I decided to go to the air show with some friends at the last minute, so I thought it was a good opportunity to wear the t-shirt I received for running the 10K Run 4 Her Life 2009 World Tour last Sunday. Mike Delfino from Desperate Housewives was there and Mya from Dancing with the Stars, performed at the race.

I had such a great weekend...I hope you did too!

Dinner with the inlaws






We met my in-laws at their restaurant they partially own today. I originally had a dress planned for this occasion but when I slipped on the dress I forgot it had a zipper, and tried to force it over my head and broke the zipper. It was unwearable and luckily I had this outfit inspired by Jennifer Aniston planned for a Vegas cocktail event next month for a trade show that I decided to wear at the last minute.

I also included a picture of my hubby since he looked very dapper--my hubby really has nice clothes, but for some reason doesn't use them unless he sees his parents. I took advantage and snapped a photo, a lot of bling going on today, but I was really happy that my last minute outfit came out quite well.

I wish I took a picture of my mother-in-laws Judith Leiber purse, it was to die for, but they always have stuff to die for :)

Suit--Calvin Klein
tank--hand made and tailored in Hong Kong
