DARE TO BE CASUAL

I don't remember when the line between sportswear and ready-to-wear was as blurred as it is today. Athletic wear for outside the gym has never been as stylish as it's been nowadays. Sneakers, slip-ons and Birkenstocks are everywhere. Along with all of this, my style is evolving as well. I would have never worn such a dressy piece, this beaded skirt, with slip-ons before and would have opted for with a pair of stilettos instead. This pair of slip-ons I've had for a while now and have only worn it with more casual items like denim shorts or track pants. I've wanted for sometime now to create a look with a dressy feminine beaded skirt and sporty casual slip-ons. Experimenting with this look made me so excited and only furthered my passion for look that mix dressy and casual pieces. Do you feel the same? 

Thank you so much for reading! What have you tried to style that you would have never though of trying before? Enjoy your Wednesday:) XO

FALL INTO ME

I've been craving a pair of midi length rolled up denim shorts for a while now. These shorts give me a more boyish but yet effortless chic look. I found a few of them that are pretty awesome like this one and this one. End of the summer sales make these prices irresistible. I can totally see myself wearing them into the fall season. I wore these shorts with a loose top to create my favorite silhouette in order to make my waist look slimmer. This fall into me sweater has a really cute high low hem and material that breathes, which makes it really comfy to wear. The outfit is one of my favorite looks for the end of the summer:) 

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great Monday:)XO

LADYLIKE

 I've been living in pencil skirts lately. Why have I been so in love with them? Why not is what I think:)

-It accentuates your body's curves

-Covers up your thighs

-Gives you that ultra-feminine look

-Is both work and after-work appropriate

The pale blue lace pencil skirt I wore in this outfit also has a high waist, which makes my body proportion look better. I wore it with a blazer to add a layer for these recent breezy mornings and nights in NYC. 

I picked a few pretty lace skirts for you guys to check out. So are you ready to enjoy your weekend with your new pencil skirt? :P Thank you so much for reading and have an amazing weekend:) XO

COLD SHOULDER PART TWO

Do you guys buy the same item in different colors sometimes when it's too hard to choose among the colors or you just simply love them all? Isn't awesome to have the same beloved item in a rainbow of colors? Haha, this was exactly what happened when I saw this off shoulder top. Do you guys remember the same top in lime that I wore with a pair of J Brand jeans? Lime gives that pop in the summer, but white is so pretty and easy to match with almost everything. It was really tough for me to give up one of them so I bought the white one as well. In this outfit I'm wearing it with a pencil skirt. A versatile piece that can easily go with so many different items to create a different silhouette and style.

A lady like look definitely needs some feminine and trendy accessories to go with it. I love wearing rings and having a ring party on my hand. It makes the whole look more sophisticated. Sometimes I feel a bit naked when I"m not wearing any accessories. It's a very important part of my daily routine. These rings are from Anarchy Street.

VALENTINE'S DAY: QI XI

Every year the 7th day of the 7th month in the Chinese lunar calendar is Chinese Valentine's day aka Qi Xi. It was August 2nd this year and this was the outfit I wore for Qi Xi. Mr. SF and I don't really celebrate Qi Xi as much as February 14th, but we still spend time together and grab some yummy food that we both enjoy. We treat that day a little more casually than Feb14th. To find something to wear for Qi Xi, I was thinking I wanted to look for something lacey but not so formal. It should be romantic but fun. When I saw this romper from Windsor, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. I really adore the back, the crochet strap and the lace overlay of the romper. I wore it during the day and at night. I'm thinking about wearing it out to a rooftop happy hour with friends this week. I can't wait:)

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you guys all had a great weekend and are ready to start another week:) XO

TRULY MADLY DEEPLY HIGH LOW

Soft texture, long back hem and casual but yet still cool are all reasons why this tunic is the newest piece in my closet. It's so versatile that I can wear it with jeans or shorts and either sneakers or causal sandals. Since we’re about to transition into a new season, this will be great for the fall. With casual sandals, I can go to a happy hour with friends or do a number of other activities. Sometimes I feel like wearing something simple and having an outfit to be able to really just get things done. If that’s my goal, I’d wear a pair of Converses to achieve this.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great Wednesday:) XO

COLD SHOULDER

Happy Monday, loves! How was your weekend? I hope you guys had a great one. I finally finished moving this past weekend, but am still trying to finish unpacking in my new apartment. Moving is a lot of work indeed. But at least last night I finally got to enjoy my new balcony a little bit. 

I started wearing more off shoulder pieces last year. This time I added one more item to my off shoulder collection, this off shoulder top with a soft weave in a lime color. So in love with it. 

Thank you so much for reading and have a great Monday:) XO

TUXEDO MINIMALISM

TGIF, loves! I'm writing to you from the cafe just down the street from my apartment building right now - definitely a great way to start my Friday. What's your plan for the weekend?

I've had this Daniel Wellington Classic Bristol Watch in a white rose gold color with a dark brown leather band for a while now. It's so simple, elegant, refined and feminine. I love love love the minimalist style. Wear it to finish some engineering-related work, to dinner with friends, to a coffee shop to grab a latte, or stroll around the city, or even to go to a black tie event. It's really that versatile. The minimalistic design just adds so much more to everything. It's also the perfect couple watch. Do you agree? haha

I wanted to pair something preppy with the watch and I felt that nothing was better than a tuxedo dress. The tuxedo always makes me feel like boy like girl. It's a cool look that doesn't lose the femininity by adding something edge to the outfit. I picked out a few tuxedo dresses that might catch your eye.

Thank you so much for reading and have an amazing weekend:)
