Chic with Chicnova

Ni Hao! Have you seen the movie "House of Flying Daggers" released in 2004 starring Zhang Ziyi? There is a scene in the move that inspired this look and background. If you haven't, I highly recommend it for the love story and martial arts. If you have, what was your favorite scene?

Hat:  Wallaroo "Victoria Diva"
Necklace:  Thanks to Chicnova! (Also seen here)

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Please check out this amazing online magazine: Atelier Indigo mag. They were gracious enough to include my blog in their August issue. 

Rain. Rain. Go Away!

What is with all the rain!? The forecast this past weekend said to expect heavy rains both days and sure enough, not even 30 minutes after stepping outside to take these pics, the rain started. Hence, my outfit. I know what you were thinking...why is she dressed like a "bag lady?" Well, I was depressed. It rains almost every single day here. That's why I had to buy a pair of rain boots- which I haven't had since I was a kid. However, I must admit, I like these boots. They are sort of ugly, but the colorful pattern (I really can't make out what it is) on them make them sort of cute. The hubby hates them, but I think he'll warm up to them.

Wearing the Olay Fresh Effects {BB Cream} that I was sent on behalf of Influenster (see here) complimentary for testing. I didn't apply anything else to my face, not even my usual lipgloss. NO CLOSE UP shots, don't even ask! Lol!

Frustrated! I still don't know what I'm doing with this camera and I've had it for over a year.
