TOPAZ HORIZON

Every Spring-Summer, the floral print debuts on the runways as THE fashion trend. And every year, I'm always fascinated. But I never actually buy! My closet hardly ever has prints now. Back in my 20s, all my clothes featured prints, stripes being a favorite. Then after I got pregnant in 2010, I found myself wearing solid-color clothes, mostly black and gray. How on earth did I become so boring? It is time I start snapping up clothes with the colorful floral print!

My current obsession: the floral jacket and floral denim.







I actually didn't care for the floral denim. I remember smirking when I was seeing lots of it on OK! magazine, which I used to edit. I mean, really. Floral pants. So 90s! And if it isn't skinny enough, it will look like pyjamas! But Olivia Palermo changed that for me.



So now I need floral pants, too!




I just find them a little scary. After all, if I don't look good in a floral jacket, I can always take it off. Can't do the same with my pants! But, okay, okay, I will try it! Dare me so I will actually feature florals on Topaz Fashion!

To the man who encouraged my dreams and pushed me to succeed, who believed in me when no one else did...

To the man who wrote me poetry, serenaded me with his guitar, and read bedtime stories to me over the phone long long ago because I couldn't sleep...

To the man who kept asking me to marry him for 7 years, and finally married me, then gave me a beautiful home, and keeps it orderly and fixes all the broken things...

To the man who was and still is so madly attracted to me despite my pimples, white hair, crazy hair, sick days, fat days, flatulent pregnant days, and horrible post-partum days...

To the man who makes me laugh every day and makes our kids laugh every day and is just about the funniest, smartest guy I know...
To the man who gave me my beautiful boys and is such a hands-on father to them and is the only other human being who loves them as much as I do (possibly more since you're more maalaga than I am!)...

Happy birthday, my dearest Vince! Thank you for the love and the laughter!

I was captivated from the first shot to the very last. Keira Knightley is just stunning in her latest commercial for Coco Mademoiselle.



Love the bedroom. Love the boots. Love the bike! Beige has never been so sexy!
 
And here's the behind-the-scenes story. Even here, she looks amazing! And that accent. She speaks so well!


I love her short hair. I suddenly want to cut mine short again! But methinks I need to be as skinny as Keira. That's like 15 lbs to lose. Oh my.
