2010: a year to remember...

(Anna della Russo at the Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Party)

If I had a fabulous New Year Eve party to attend, this is how I would be to dressed.  Unfortunately, this year, it's just Ayden, Coco (my cat), my hubby (if he gets back from work by midnight) and myself... so let's just say I have lots of time to reflect on the past year!

Looking back, here are the top 10 events that made my 2010 so memorable:

10. PPTV
9. my surprise xmas gift from hubby
8. landing an awsome job at Athena
7. blogging
6. starting a new business project
5. shopping for my "new" figure
4. re-bonding with my best friend/business partner Weylan
3. my best friend Vicky's wedding
2. my first ultrasound
1. Ayden's birth

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

FLASHBACK: Balenciaga F/W 04

A recent post of the above fabulous Balenciaga Aviator boots by Jack & Jill reminds me of how much I was in love with Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2004 collection.  When it's done right, it transcends time.  And Balenciaga is almost always done very right!

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Tough Love

I got the Lanvin + H&M "legs" t-shirt for christmas from a very good friend!!!  So excited to wear it to my hubby's belated staff party today.  Tried to toughen the whole look with my Doc's and leather/chain belt.

T-shirt - Lanvin + H&M; Boots - Dr Martens; Belt - Hermes

MAIN EVENT - Holidays 2010

Although the holiday season is not nearly over (we tend to extend our indulgence of food, wine & chocolate until Chinese New Year), I just wanted to share a few snapshot of my baby's first christmas.  And naturally, most of the gifts under our tree are for him...

Christmas day...the brightest star

(Harry Winston Earrings)

It's already Christmas day and I save the best for today: Harry Winston diamond earrings!!  Any girl worth her diamonds should have these on her wishlist!  And I'm no exception! 

Happy Holidays to everyone!!! 

MERRY XMAS!!

Christmas eve...

(Loree Rodkin Armor Knuckle Ring)

If you are as obsessed about knuckle rings as I am AND have a sky-high budget, this baby is probably already in your jewelry box.  Covering the entire finger, this is the mothership of all knuckle rings! 

Loree Rodkin makes exceptional medival inspired fine jewelry, and although I would gladly accept anything from her collection, this is the one that first caught my eye.

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Sheepish

Was out shopping all day for last minute preparation for our holiday family dinners (we are hosting my family tomorrow and my hubby's the day after!).  I'm so tempted to just cater everything but instead have decided to make the effort to bake some espresso and banana/chocolate mini-cakes...if anything, it will at least make the house smell good!  Everything else will most likely be ready-to-serve dishes from Costco...

3 days till Christmas...

(Cartier Panther Ring)

I usually cannot justify trendy/fashion pieces in fine jewelry...but this is Cartier!  And since my son is born in the year of tiger, it should be justifiable!!  (ok, that was just a big excuse) 

4 days till Christmas...

(Hermes Silver Collier de Chien)

Do I need to explain myself?
