Pearly Gray

As you can see at the Rick Owens runway fall 09, it started off in dark black (we see this color most at his show). After a few solid black monochrome looks, all that suddenly shifted into icy blue, pearly gray, palest beige. All the genius of his vision came to light-the color of future, but classic. After that, we’ve seen those colors all over the runway of spring 2010. It’s become fresh and it has the color for this fall and for the future.

You also see every look was constructed around a high-necked, strong-shouldered leather jacket at his runway fall 09. This is one of the looks.

I have to say that this futurist-classic jacket is the ultimate style statement, an investment piece. I paired it with similar shades for a fresh fall aesthetic; Madewell tee, F21 leggings, Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes. These shoes are also a statement piece in this outfit, so I keep jewelry free and light make-up.GOOD TIME FOR BAKINGDecember is an exciting month of the year; Xmas lights, Xmas music, Xmas shopping, Xmas party, time for family and friends to get together with joy. All of this gives you a great feeling of Xmas spirit. It is also the perfect time for baking. I’ve been enjoying baking with my kids; pumpkin bread, banana nut bread, fruit pie, cookies… things they love to do, too. Every year, this month is a baking-marathon for us and we love it!
My kids enjoyed helping me to repair the crust for baking berry pie.
Berry pie. They enjoyed doing cut-out cookies.Enjoy conversation with sister.This is how the cookies turn out. The cookie cutters were recently bought at Williams Sonoma. The fun thing about these cookie cutters is that you can create your own messages. And here are: Happy Holidays, Season Greeting, Life in Travel…really fun!
Hope you all have a joyful weekend with family and friends!!Happy holidays!!!
Big hugs…Hanh ;-)
PS: Don’t hesitate to ask for the berry pie recipe if you want it!

    Hi Mr Freddy Mom,
    Don't worry, he may or may not like baking. He's a boy and not a girl ;-) . Girl seems to like baking more than boy, I think.

    *makes strange excited noises*

  23. This one of my favorite outfits I've seen you wear! amazing jacket! The structure is incredible.

  24. Cindy Khor on said:

    clean classic futuristic look, all in one, its kinda hard to believe, yet they come so well together. that rodarte shoe is definitely a highlighted piece, surely to turn heads when you walk pass.

    is it me, or did you lose weight? cuz you look so much more slimmer? but don't worry, you still look great..

    time to take out my baking utensils too..

  25. Julia, the Thanksgiving Girl on said:

    You are right to call this "pearly gray" – the color is so delicate!

    Baking cookies is a lot of fun, especially when you have a good company hehe :) Yours turned out really pretty, love the "Life in Travel" one :) The berry pie looks really good too, I always prefer this kind of 'natural' desserts instead of pie filled with jams, if you know what I mean. The last picture looks like a postcard, love it!

  26. tres tippy on said:

    you look amazing in this jacket! i always love how you pair high end couture with basics. madewell tees are my favorite. definitely a great staple for one's wardrobe. and as always, your daughters are soo cute!
