I've been advocating the idea of pop color bags for spring and summer. The beauty of any hot pink bag or yellow bag can't be underestimated, especially when you are wearing basic pieces. Pop color bags make your whole outfit really pop like my outfit today, a 7Fam cold shoulder tee with boyfriend jeans. Neon pumps with my yellow Robinson bag from Tory Burch are the perfect match. How cute is this yellow bag? You can either go crossbody or wear it as a shoulder bag. With the straw hat, it's a great outfit for this weekend.
I picked some pop color bags for you girls to rock this spring and summer. Which one is your favorite? Wishing you a great weekend :) XO
This is my current go to date night look and I wore it on a date night with Mr. SF last week. I was in the mood for something romantic and sexy. This LuLu's backless peplum top is a great candidate for date nights. I love the light peach color and the peplum details are really pretty for a night out. Btw, loves! The best bra to go with this kind of backless top is Nubra or the self adhesive pasties. You know you will need a Nubra for different backless tops or dresses. You can't go wrong with a white lace skirt and wedges. Wearing it with white jeans is also a great idea too.
A bag with a pop of color is totally in trend right now and they have been on my radar, which is why I've bought more bags with pops of color lately. They highlight your outfit, plus it really doesn't hurt to add more colors to make spring and summer more fun. My Kate Spade bag unfortunately is sold out, but if you are looking for something in a similar color, I think this one and this one are super cute :P
TGIF, loves! What are you wearing for tonight's date night or night out? Wishing you a wonderful weekend and I will talk to you girls real soon :) XO
I wore this purple lace dress to my friend's wedding two weeks ago, It wasn’t black tie formal, but was indeed a very tasteful wedding. Lace, side slit and the back straps made me fall in love with the dress the moment I spotted it. You girls know I have a soft spot for pretty lace :P If you can't find your size, there is a skirt version and a matching top. They both look almost the same as the dress. If you plan to attend one or a few weddings this wedding season, you girls can definitely check out the wedding guest shop at Revolve, there are so many other pretty options there. I'm sure you can find something you love and suits you :)
这条紫色的蕾丝的连衣裙是两周前参加朋友婚礼时穿的。不是 black tie非常正式的婚礼，但是真的是很有品位的婚礼。蕾丝，旁边开叉和背后的设计让我对这条裙子一见钟情。你们知道的我是对蕾丝情有独钟的。如果找不到你的号，这条另外还有同样设计的裙子和上衣，可以看看。如果要参加婚礼的话，我推荐大家可以看看Revolve家为参加婚礼特别挑选的连衣裙。有好多选择。我觉得你们一定可以找到喜欢的而且适合自己的：）
Playing with colors in today's outfit by using bag and shoe colors to match different colors of the outfit. I just can't get enough of plaid shirts in my closet. They are so chic and easy to style! I picked a few other plaid shirts in different colors if you girls want to play with colors and make this spring a little more fun. :P

New stripe top and I'm so obsessed with it. I can't get enough of stripes. Wearing it with a denim jacket and ripped jeans are my go to look this spring. Some of you commented on my Instagram and Facebook page that this pair of sandals looks really high and that you may not have the confidence to walk in them. This made me want to share some tips on how to wear high heels.
-Heel type.
The heels that have more cover, an ankle strap or thicker heels are easier than stilettos and thin heels.Wedges and platform heels are also easier. Plus platform heels are back this season, which are indeed a great option. With this pair I'm wearing, the heel is 5.75 inches in total height and the platform is 1.5 inches. So the absolute height is about 4.25 inches. It's much easier to walk in compared to a lot of high heels. I love how they look and how they elongate my legs :P
-Find the right size.
When I'm shopping online, I always look at the description of the shoes before I order. Lots of online retailers have information like true to size or fit smaller in the product detail. You need to find the right size for you.
-Use anti-blister products.
I'm currently using this Julep Doublesteps foot treatment and friction stick. I put it on my feet on the areas where I easily get blisters before I put on my heels. This shea butter treatment is infused with vitamin E and chili pepper oil to stimulate circulation. It also creates a barrier between your feet and shoes to reduce friction and stomp out blisters.
These gels and silicon are really soft for your feet. They help shift the weight and alleviate heel pain.
-Walk in them correctly.
Walk in them from heel to toe. Having good posture helps too. Take small steps. Be confident :)
-Take Breaks.
Try to sit if you need to get off your feet for a little bit. Practice does make perfect, but don't wear heels everyday. Your feet need a break. After wearing heels for a few days, you can switch to other awesome flat shoe options out there like Birkenstocks :P
-Bring foldable flats.
Some heels are really high and tough to walk too long in, but they are so pretty. If you know you will be in these types of heels for long hours, you can always bring foldable flats with you. I have a few pairs of Yosi Smara ones, they are tiny after folding and fit in small bags.
-Be good to our feet.
At the end of the day, after showering, I always put on lotions and creams and that includes putting them on my feet. Massage them for a while as it's good for your feet. This shea butter foot cream is really good. Or get a foot massage and a bubble bath, which are great for our feet.
I hope these tips are really informative and helpful for you to rock your heels. Happy Thursday, loves! Have a great day :) XO
It has never been easy for me to find something cute and work appropriate. I always want to bring a fun look to our tech office. Now that the weather is getting so much better in New York City, I just want to go to happy hour after work without having to bring an extra pair of clothes to change into. Pinstripe reminds me a lot of a pinstripe blazer or coat for work. So I found this cute little pinstripe dress, which is also ON SALE! If you are looking for something more for work, this pinstripe dress is a great option. It's currently 25% off with code SHOPNOW.
Next week I'm heading to Silicon Valley for a business trip to our corporate headquarters. This little cute dress is definitely on my packing list. BTW, after waiting for 10 months, Silicon Valley finally started their second season last night on HBO. OMG, this show is just hilarious and I love love love it. Happy Monday, loves! Have an amazing beginning of a new week :) XO
Do you girls remember my hello spring post where I mentioned that peep toe booties are one of the must have shoes for spring? I wore them with my favorite moto pants in that post. Peep toe booties not only look great with pants, but they also look cool with skirts like my outfit today. Either with a pencil skirt or a skater skirt, feel free to pick your fav skirt to pair it with. If you have something else in black the outfit will echo the black color of your booties and will create the same cool effect. If you are looking for something cool for going out both during the day and at night, this is definitely the look for you. Now you know that peep toe booties are a spring essential.
So my peep toe booties and my moto pants from my previous look are both on sale. Today is the last day of the Friends & Family sale from my favorite Shopbop. Sale ends before midnight. You have to check out my picks for this sale. A lot of them are very practical essentials like the NuBra. I also picked for you girls a few peep toe booties from the sale. Definitely check them out before the sale ends. Happy shopping and Happy Thursday, loves! Can't wait for the weekend to be here :P XO
还记得我之前的一篇博文hello spring吗？我提到 peep toe booties是今年春天必备单品之一。那篇我搭配了我最爱的moto pants。这 peep toe booties不单穿裤子帅，穿裙子也好看象我今天的搭配。不管是铅笔裙还是有摆的裙子，选你喜欢的。只要你上身或者其他有黑色和靴子的黑色相呼应，可以和穿裤子一样帅。如果你想找白天晚上出门都很酷的搭配，这套就是为你准备的啦。所以真的很需要这双靴子。
A pair of Birkenstock really isn’t new and I've been asking myself the same question over and over if I should get a pair every year ever since they came back in trend. This year I finally put my hands on it. Why now?
-They are super comfy. It's really good for my feet to get some rest after walking in heels for long hours. I did some research and found out that the firm support from Birkenstock is good for our feet and really is the kind of support your feet need as opposed to shoes that provide you soft or cushiony support.
-They are casual and chic. They probably won’t win best looking shoe accolades, but they still make your outfit look chic instantly. If you are looking for something casual to wear while still looking great on the weekend or anytime off-duty, they are indeed one of the best choices.
-They are so versatile. I can think about wearing them with shorts, a mini-skirt, a flowy maxi, boyfriend jeans, wide-leg pants or cropped and ripped jeans like what I wore in today's outfit.
-They have one of the best price versus quality ratios. Last year Givenchy had this pair of floral slipper sandals and Rachel Zoe had this pair of metallic sandals. Berks retail price is way more affordable and before I made this purchase, I read lots of online reviews and it seems as if a lot of people are happy with them.
-They are not going away anytime soon. I saw quite a few pairs of new arrival sandals this season. None of them look exactly like the Berks since they are all slipper sandals in similar styles. I don't think Berks are going away anytime soon. Ok, by the time they go out of trend, you can save them to pass them on to your future generations like how they came back in trend this time, hahahaha.
-They can be worn almost all year long. Except on those really cold winter days, you can wear a pair of grey socks with Birkenstock even in the winter. That's why they are worth every penny you spend.
So this year I said to myself, why not! I got this white Birkenstock pair. There is another pair in a really similar style in white and it's about $40 cheaper. You can check the pair out, plus you can get them for $15 off using code SPRING15 when you spend $100. To make full use of the sale, my ripped jeans and the sleeveless trench are all included in this sale. You can get a max $50 off with code SPRING50 when you spend $200. This sale is just too good to pass up on, so I picked a few other things for you girls below.
Back to the topic, what do you girls think of Birkenstock? Do you already have one or even a few pairs or are you thinking about finally getting one pair this season? :P
