Cape Coat

If I live in a cold country, I would probably need a bigger closet to accommodate the coats. I just love coats!

Here is another coat from ZARA I would buy if like I said I live in a cold country.

ZARA Cape Zip Coat

I like the zip detail and the pocket. I could hide some tool supply inside it, if I have to. Hahaha!

Seriously, I love this coat. If this will go on sale, I might buy it. But where will I use it? LOL!

Trumpets

My friends had the unusual conversation today. They were arguing whether the color of the trumpet has anything to do about its quality.

I say unusual because both of them have no musical background much less play a trumpet or any instrument for that matter.

I took it upon myself this afternoon to look for the best trumpets. But then I have no idea where to begin so I just looked at different styles and colors. LOL!

I couldn't decide which one I like better. The silver or the gold one?

Silver

Gold

I think both look nice. If you have a friend who plays the trumpet, these ones will surely make a great gift.

Uniformed

Travel for me is not just about the destination. It is important for me that I also coordinate my wardrobe with the place I am going to visit.

I am not saying I have to be fashionable. I just want to look nice and not out of place. Guys have it easier. Whatever they wear, they blend in easily. Girls have to make an effort.

For our recent trip to Japan, I made a little research about what people in Tokyo usually wear. I do have this impression that fashion in Japan is more about individuality. And I am right. Japanese have the most unique fashion sense I have ever seen.

The research gave me an idea what to wear during the whole trip. I did not make an overhaul of my wardrobe. I just made sure that what I wear will also be weather appropriate and something that I will be comfortable to wear.

For our Tokyo Disneyland trip, I wore this:


Hubby, at first objected with my choice of clothing. He said I looked like I am wearing one of those restaurant uniforms. Well, he doesn't know anything about fashion anyway. So I just ignored him. And besides, Disney has a Halloween theme that time. I could pretend I was wearing a costume.

When we were inside the theme park, he noticed that a lot of women have almost the same outfit as I have. LOL!

It's nice to blend in with the local but still remain true to your own fashion sense.

Too Hot to Handle

I don't know how I got to bags from pads for chairs. I guess my spirit is really week.

I already told myself I won't visit my favorite online stores because that's just torturing myself. But I still found myself going to my bookmarks. And before I knew it, I was already admiring how pretty this Marc Jacobs Tote bag is.

This is the style of bag I don't have in my closet and which I have been looking for a while now.

Marc Jacobs Too Hot To Handle Tote Bag in mink $438 from Neiman Marcus

Marc Jacobs Too Hot to Handle Tote Bag in black $438 from Neiman Marcus

I gravitate towards black bags usually but the one in mink is just too pretty, right? I might break my bag ban for this. Or should I?

Which one is prettier for you? The mink or the black?
