Dress of my dreams

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

I almost always wear something formfitting everyday as they make me feel good but before, I used to wear only baggy long sleeves and long skirts. My mom is a pretty conservative person and I grew up wearing pretty much what she wants me to wear. She still thinks my vneck tshirts are still so provocative even though they’re normal tshirts! But as I grew older, I insist on having the freedom to wear what I want. I believe that dictating what someone can wear is ridiculous and I hate uniform or any type of dress code. I just bought this dress from nastygal! I can’t wait to wear it! Double Knot Dress – Black $68.00 (Nastygal Vintage)These are some of the accessories that I want to wear the dress with! What do you think? 1. Enamored of Enamel Necklace $39.99 (Modcloth) 2.HOUSE OF HARLOW Golden Feather Locket Necklace $215.00 (Stylebop.com) 3. Wendy Mink Bird Cuff $142.00 (charmandchain.com)  4. Blue Straw Stripe Floppy Hat $50.00 (Topshop) 5. Sigerson Morrison Braided Multi-Strap Sandal In Nude $297.00 (ShopZoeonline.com) 6.Sonia Rykiel Denise bow sandal $367.00 (shopsavannahs.com) 7. Bryna Nicole Hermann Mini Bag $158.00 (Otteny.com)

Wishing you a lovely Tuesday! xoxoxoxoxo

Start your day with a smile!

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Good morning! Hope you guys had an amazing weekend! Over the weekend, I was thinking about blogging in general and where it’s going to be five years from now on. When I first started my blog, I wasn’t very serious and I had different goals back then. It was just a creative outlet but I knew I always had an interest in fashion and styling. But then as I keep blogging, I find myself wanting to express more and I learned a lot about dressing for myself. Along the way, I made some incredible blogger friends who inspire me with their outfits and wise words.

What I want to know is if your goals for your blog has changed or remain the same? Do you find it easier as you keep going or do you find it harder? I’d love to know! Cheers to staring your day with a big smile and ending it with laughter!
I love Jessica Horton’s smile! I want to be her best friend! A healthy breakfast or a slightly fattening one with lots of bacon and eggs and a toast with tea and blueberries are some of my favorites to eat in the mornings!Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up in the morning and realize you don’t ever have to worry about deciding what to wear because you have such an enviable wardrobe? The top picture is a closet of Estee Stanley, a celebrity stylist in LA and the bottom picture is the accessories from Roberto Cavalli show.Feeling sort of proper today. Maybe because I’ve been looking at Kate Middleton’s outfits too much. 1. Olive Lace Crop Jacket $110.00 (Topshop.com) 2. Jardin skirt $88.00 (jcrew.com) 3. Alexander Wang Marion Sling Bag – Butterscotch $650.00 (Opening Ceremony) 4.Cutler & Gross Sunglasses $475.00 (aubinandwills.com) 5. PARTY SANDAL $29.99 (ZARA) 6.Seahorsing Around Ring $19.99 (Modcloth)These jumping shots of fashion editors make me smile! Aren’t they so cute?

Weekend Attire

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

I wish it’s always 4 day work week instead of five days a week…we don’t have to wait too long for the weekend! It has been a pretty good week for me except for some mild annoyances. I’ve been stopping by Starbucks a couple of times this week and today after work, I went to order some chocolate cheesecake and I noticed how the cashier girl was sort of indifferent and cold towards me. Then there was this really cute guy right behind me and when it was his turn, her behavior completely changed! She was suddenly all chatty, flirtaious and all smiles. It was kind of weird to say the least. Have you guys noticed a different behavior among girls when there are cute guys around? I’ve never been one to compete for a guy’s attention. I usually ignored them and my approach is that if a guy is truly interested in me, he’ll ask me out or say something to me.

Anyway, here are my weekend outfit inspirations!Isn’t this outfit amazing? This is the streetstyle photographer Candice Lake in Paris. Those nude shoes are perfection!These all would make great day outfits, don’t t you think? A bold maxi skirt for a relaxing city stroll, a sexy sheer cover up for the beach and a pretty cut-out dress for lunch with the girls. From left to right: Talulah Spring Summer 2011, Paper Skye Spring Summer 2011, Alice McCall Spring Summer 2011Wow, those shoes! I can’t take my eyes off of them! As someone who doesn’t like to carry big bags, I need to find small bags like the ones these ladies are carrying! So chic!

My two favorite dresses and accessories to wear for the weekend! 1. Ammy dress $62.54 2. Holly dress $62.54 3. Indira Necklace $15.63 (Monki) 4. Straw Hat $13.00 (H & M) 5. WAYUU TAYA Mochilla knitted cotton cross-body bag $200.00 (netaporter.com) 6.  LOVE Multi Color Block Suede Platform Sandals $130.00 (Topshop) 6. LOVE multi color color block suede platform sandals $130.00 (Topshop) 7. Steve Madden ‘Kloudd-L’ Sandal $110.00 (Nordstrom)
