I’ve never used a clear plastic tote. I don’t feel secured with showing the world what I have in my bag, and not to mention, it’s quite messy in my bag! LOL!

So, when I first saw this clear plastic tote by Mulberry, with the illustration by Julie Verhoeven, I was wondering if I will buy one, if I have $175 extra. I guess I will skip it, even if it’s totally hot and hit and fashionable for summer.
However, I guess 175 bucks is not expensive for a Mulberry. Grab one if you are interested! Plastic just doesn’t work for me.
I love white but I hardly wear one. It’s not easy for me to carry the look, and besides that, I tend to mess it up while carrying my gal. Her shoes always leave some marks on my white blouse or pants. But then, white is the IN color for fall, and here are a few of my favorite looks.
I love this dress by Terexov.
Simple yet elegant by Derek Lam.
Clean, but stunning, by Chado Ralph Rucci.

I love denim, but I only stick to jeans. I have quite a number of pairs of jeans, but I think I have to throw some away. I can’t fit into some of my skinny jeans anymore, and I look pretty “big” in them. I know that I can just treat them as tights, but I don’t feel comfortable wearing them for long hours where my leg movement is restricted. 
Nonetheless, I will keep my straight cut jeans for as long as I can, and I’m glad that I found out how to wear our old jeans this season without looking like an old woman!
The most important tip I learned from Kevin Zhou, one of the famous fashion stylist and makeup artist in Taiwan, is to roll or fold up your jeans and expose your ankles. It can be straight cuts or skinny jeans, but just roll them up until you can expose the thinest part of your legs. Of course, you must have a pair of nice shoes to go with the look. Even if you are a pair of north face walking shoes, you still won’t go wrong with the look. However, please don’t match your jeans with a denim jacket or any denim top as you will look awfully weird as most denim hardly match, unless you buy them in pairs.
Denim is not only for younger generation, even mothers can look great in denim. Check out this look:
I know Makiyo looked hot in the denim shorts, but not every woman my age has that pair of legs! But Kevin did a good job in helping Makiyo’s mother in creating a denim look for older women. Denim skirt is another option, and if it’s in darker color, it won’t look like “we” are trying to act younger than our age.
I’ve almost forgotten about Mother’s Day as over here in Thailand, they don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in May. But I will still give my mom a call on this special day, and hopefully she won’t mind that I won’t be there again to celebrate this special day with her. Staying in another country away from my family would mean that we don’t get to celebrate most of the special days together, but that does not mean that I care less about them.
So, maybe I will buy her something special when I plan to fly back again. My mom broke her necklace some time ago, and I don’t think she has bought herself a new one.
Coincidentally, I found out about Gemz N Gold, and I found this nice necklace which is simple yet elegant.
I think my mom might like this, and most importantly, this necklace and pendant are not expensive at all. Furthermore, there is a special Mother’s Day offer which you will be given a red jewelry box free, if you make any purchase at this store. This offer only valid until 11 May 2009, so if you are interested to get one, please check out the store.
I think I better give my mom a cal tonight and see if she likes this necklace. She’s very picky, and she has always told me not to buy her any present but give her cash instead. LOL!
