Earrings: BaubleBar

Sweater: Old (also love this and this)

Jacket: Old (similar here)

Bag: Valentino

Brooch: Chanel

Besides the sequin skirt post on Friday, the skater mini is another great piece to have for the upcoming holidays. It creates the most flattering silhouette for your body and elongates your legs. Besides wearing it with heels, over the knee boots are also a great option. Now post-day light savings and with the weather getting chillier in New York City, I’m really getting the itch that the holiday season is right around the corner. Make sure you girls check out a these great sales that are still going on right now for yourself and your girl friends :)  

It's the perfect time to buy coats and sweaters that are on sale right now, so that they can be worn this weekend and during the holiday season. Happy shopping and stay warm, my loves! Enjoy a great beginning to another week:) XO

除了星期五那篇亮片裙，蓬蓬短裙也是节日里不错的选择。很修身而且看上去腿也长。高根鞋和过膝长靴都好看。现在每天天黑的很早，天气又更冷了，让我真的觉得节日就在眼前了。千万不要错过这两天特别好的打折活动，给自己和朋友买都好。

现在是买大衣和毛衣的最好时间了，买了马上就可以穿而且节日也可以。血拼快乐了，亲们！新的一周又开始了，加油！爱你们：）

A NIGHT OUT IN SAN FRANCISCO

Hello from San Francisco, loves. One of the most important things here for Mr. SF and myself is having the chance to catch up with some close friends and family. I wanted something sleek, sexy and sophisticated and I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this little black dress. I wore it out on Sat night. It was indeed a good time filled with good laughs with good company and my new favorite dress, haha. I love the luxurious fabric and it feels so nice when your skin touches it. The sexy cutout and the feminine silhouette made me fall in love with it. The weather has been beautiful, but as any Bay Area resident knows the temperature drops a bit at night, but with this cardigan I paired it with, you’ll be just fine. The floppy hat and cardigan are the key items that make your dresses still so wearable well into the fall. It's a great time to add a few dresses to your wardrobe right now before the holiday season. My advice is to try not to get caught having to decide what to wear last minute :)

Thank you so much for reading. Have a great beginning of the week :) XO

从三番市和大家问好了！我们此行的最重要的事情之一就是和家人和朋友团聚。我需要一件小性感和成熟的裙子，我知道这条小黑裙子绝对不会错。星期六晚上和好朋友们出去就是穿的这条。有朋友们的陪伴，周末的晚上充满的欢乐。小黑裙有很奢华的料子，摸上去就很有质感。胸前的剪裁还有收腰的形，让我对小黑裙更加喜爱。这里的天气很好，晚上会有点小降温，即使如此搭配毛衣也不会觉得冷。帽子和毛衣绝对可以让你的裙子在秋天穿久一些。而且现在感恩节什么节都要到了，添加几件小礼服，裙子绝对让你充分准备不会觉得到时候不知道穿什么好：）

祝你们大家拥有一周美好的开始！爱你们！

HELLO 2014

 

 

Hi loves! How was your New Year's celebration? I had a fantastic time with people I love. It’s always great to welcome in a new beginning. 2014 will be even more amazing than 2013.

For the first post of the New Year, I decided to feature this dress I wore to dinner last week in San Francisco. The weather was beautiful there over the holidays, which gave me the opportunity to wear it. The material, the high waist and the off shoulder design are all features I adore about the dress. It’s sexy, feminine and appropriate for a nice dinner out. Definitely add stockings if you want to wear this dress in New York City as it's freezing these days. The dress could be used for a dinner with friends or a date night. It could also work just as well for a night out with the girls.

Thank you so much for all your support and Happy New Year :)

THE TRIPLE ROCKSTUDS

Hi loves, TGIF - my favorite day of the week! Did you guys enjoy my previous post about New Year's Eve dress ideas? The Nicole Miller dress from Rent the Runway is an incredible deal. They also have a number of other choices at similar prices only during the holiday season. Besides the dresses I picked from Rent the Runway ,ASOS and Nastygal, there are many other great choices for NYE dresses at Topshop, Bebe, River Island, BCBG, Juicy Couture, Alice and Olivia and BB Dakota etc.

Generally speaking, a red dress with sequins is my favorite for New Year's Eve. Today's red lace dress is one that I wore to a holiday party earlier this month. It'd be great for New Year's Eve as well. It's extremely feminine and definitely gives off the holiday vibe. This pair of Valentino rockstud triple ankle strap pumps have been on my wish list forever and ever. When I stopped by the Valentino boutique in Rome during my trip to Italy, I decided to dive in and make the purchase. Each pair is handmade in Italy, so you can see and feel the quality. Purchasing a pair of Italiano shoes in Italy was so very special to me. When I wear these shoes, I’m always reminded of the good times I had in Italy. This pair has two styles, the double ankle strap design with a higher heel and the triple ankle strap with a lower heel, which is a tad bit prettier in my opinion. I prefer this one because of the frontal design of the shoe in addition to the low heel, which makes it super comfy and wearable all day and into the evening. Beautiful and comfortable – what’s not to like :)

I'm heading out of town tonight to spend Xmas with family and friends. I hope you all have a great and amazing holiday. I know you’ll look amazing at your holiday parties this weekend :P Thank you so much for reading! Happy Holidays! :)

Happy Tuesday, loves! How was your weekend? Hopefully, you didn’t get caught in the snow this past weekend in New York. I ended up doing a photo shoot while it was snowing, which I’ll share with you guys real soon. Did you guys all finish your Xmas gift shopping? It’s only one week away and I can’t wait to spend Xmas with family and friends.

Today's dress is from Lola Minx. Their dresses are designed and made in Chicago and are extremely aesthetic and Bohemian chic. I'm obsessed with winter whites these days, so I picked this white dress. It's a great look for the holidays since it’s comfy and flowy at the same time. I matched it with my new favorite boots from Casadei. I bought this pair in Rome on my recent trip to Europe. I had just visited the Spanish Steps and was strolling along window shopping and I literally jumped and shrieked at the same time when I saw the Casadei boutique. I couldn’t control my reaction because I’ve been in love with the brand for so long. It meant so much to me to be able to see the boutique in Italy let alone buy a pair of boots in Italy, where the shoes are designed and manufactured. Compared to my other pair of Casadeis, this pair is undoubtedly more classic. My favorite feature is the ultra thin heel. The thinner the heel the more feminine it is to me. I love feeling ultra-feminine. Casadei has a winter sale going on right now and this pair is 50% off. It's honestly one of the best sales I’ve come across for Casadei. Hopefully, you can find an amazing pair for yourself and thank you so much for reading :) XOXO

ROMAN HOLIDAY

  

 

Happy Tuesday, loves! Hope you are having a great week. Have you finished purchasing all your Xmas gifts yet? I'm pretty much done with holiday gift shopping for family and friends and cannot wait for Xmas.

Today's outfit is the last outfit from my trip to Europe. Yes, my last stop was in Rome, Italy. When I was little, I watched the film starring Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday. Ever since then, Rome has always been on my list of places to visit. In Rome, I saw so many sites: the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and the mouth of truth etc. I was so excited each time I visited a site from the movie and the scenes just replayed again in my mind. I’m a sap for the love story in Roman Holiday. And of course the cute little Vespa just added to my affection for the movie. Because of the film, I imagined Rome as an incredibly romantic city and it lived up to my expectations. I was able to go to some restaurants and meet a number of locals who were sweet and always helpful. The spaghetti alla carbonara, gelato and tiramisu were my favorites and I could eat them on repeat every day. The highlights of the trip for me, though, were seeing the San Gennaro collection of gems and jewelry from Naples and my visit to the Vatican where I finally saw the Creation of Adam inside the Sistine Chapel. Getting the chance to see all these sites meant so much to me. Rome is just an amazing city full of history, culture and legacy. Words cannot describe everything that I saw. Hopefully, you guys saw some pictures on my Instagram, but really the pictures cannot do it justice.

As for shopping, I really don’t think the prices are cheaper over there, but I was able to purchase some Italian brands at pretty reasonable prices. I can’t wait to show you guys these goodies over my next few blog posts :)

The cashmere sweater I wore is from QUINN NYC. I really love this sweater because it’s so soft, warm and comfy. The shape is also nice as well. It's a cute sweater with cable details. I love sweaters that are good quality and keep you warm the entire winter. I paired it with a 7 For All Mankind pair of skinny shimmer jeans. The boots are also chic and comfortable to walk around the city in especially when you’re traveling. Have a great Tuesday and enjoying the snow here in New York city:) XOXO
